Manga tutorial, Draw and color comics panel, Kapow express page 3.
This is the most effective way and the fastest way, for me personally so far. I did most of the panel in my Manga very similar to how I do my concept art work.
Here is how to draw a finish a Manga or comics page step by step process of how I thumbnail, sketch and paint over.
Here are step by step Drawing and coloring Manga or comics page (3)
1) First I usually rough out thumbnail pages (*Each thumb of mine is smaller than 3x5 inches and usually done in my sketchbook). It is better to do it in sequence at least 3-4 pages so that the story flow. Since I don't have a solid script at hand (most or some Manga don't)...I just go with the flow for what I have in my head at the moment. *Though I do have the story line in mind, but the detail is more like an improvisation...along with the main story line. ( make sense?)
Also as you can see, most of the panels, I didn't establish any composition...because at this stage, I am only looking for continuety and sequential story.
*I use black ball-point pen for this one*
2) Now since I know the flow of the story with the rough illustrated panels from thumbnails, I can fresh them out easier. I would go into each panel to reestablish composition in the way that they will make more sense and assign space for each dialogue. My priority range from story-telling first, image (readibility, expression and composition), then dialogue. Each artist have different arrangement of important depending on their Manga or comics style.
*My sketch at this stage are still pretty rough, possibly only readable by me, the creator. Most comics pencilling are a lot more tighter than what I do because they don't ink and color themselves.
*I use black ball-point pen for this one also*
3) Then I will paint over each panel sketch quickly unless I want to emphasize the cool panel then I will spend more time to make it a bit more cool illustration like.
3.1 Sketch (rough)
*I use black ball-point pen for this one*
3.2 Establish value in the panel using monochromatic scheme first (the easiest way to start off painting is get the value first.) Most of the panel, I try to make it as simple and easy, nothing fancy over the top. :)
*This stage you can either use Gimp or Photoshop*
3.3 Then I will assign color to the value. Once I establish the color choices, I will paint over the line and anything that's needed. Though I do love to leave some of the sketchy lines, it's something personal that I believe it add more life to the style I am looking for and I can get away with it since I just want to do whatever I want and believe in (no editor or art director or bosses) and it's my Manga. ;)
