This time, let's try drawing color manga with Clip Studio.

First is the frame.

In Clip Studio, we create some blank canvases for the manga manuscript...

Personally, I recommend lining up the canvases into a vertical line before drawing like this.

It's easier to coordinate colors and paint too.

And since there is no need of switching pages, the drawing speed will be faster too.

Now, let's make some rough sketch for the moment.

You can draw in any order you want, but...

You should start by making speech bubbles and characters' lines first as a substitute for a name.

You should also arrange the speech bubbles in places where you want to draw images.

After you're done with the framework, you can then draw pictures with similar angles, while paying attention so that the composition doesn't get repeated.

You can also raise the quality of your manga if you know how to make use of the lines.

After the rough sketch is done, we finally move on to inking.

In Clip Studio, use Frame Cut to make frames and panels so that it'll be easier for inking.

When inking, you can also check the configuration of the pen to adjust its speed or change the thickness of it to give the manga that analog feel.

Also, you will be required to remember the shortcut keys if you want to draw fast.

Let me introduce you to some examples.

Digital Pen's switch: Ink Ejector

F: Pencil

Z: Rotate left X: Rotate right

V: Auto Select

C: Eraser

D: Bucket

S: Brush

A: Pen

Q: Select sizes

Ctrl + Z: Undo Ctrl + X: Fill Ctrl + C: Flip horizontal Ctrl + V: Redo Ctrl + D: Clear Select Ctrl + A: Select All

Shift Line Shift + Z Zoom in Shift + X Zoom out Shift + C Grid

Now, we'll proceed to inking. In order to save you some trouble...

The Clip Studio's windows can be arranged however you like. So you can customize the tool and command bars whatever way you think is more convenient for you.

You may want to use the perspective ruler a lot too.

It will make drawing concentration lines easier.

That's all about inking.

Now, let's move on to paint.

First, select the places you want to color.

Then use the shortcut to fill them.

This time, I used oil colors to colored this manga, but there's one thing you should take note about it.

If the color hue is not set to 100, it will become transparent and the picture will become black when you fill it, so be careful!

Last but not least is the white portion of the eyes.

OMG

Select the portion of the eye you want to paint white, then use Quick Mask.

First, draw the the part without boundary with a Quick Mask layer on top of it.

After that, use Bucket to fill the white portion of the eye.

With that, you will be able to fill the white portion of the eyes you selected quickly and with ease.

You can also delete the Quick Mask layer after that if you don't need it anymore.

After the general coloring is done, do the uneven color.

By the way, that person's been talking to herself for a while now. It's kinda creepy...

Ahh, I'm tired now.

Let's go home and watch some anime...!

This has been an attempt to introduce people on how to draw a comic quickly.

I spew the ink all over the manuscript while I was trying to do the beta...!!!

Hmm...
