RE: Manga illustrations coming to my stories?
Very talented indeed = ) I love your drawings and I would really like to know how much time it usually takes you to finish your drawings? I understand that it can depend on the difficulty of the project .
Thank you for contributing to the Steemit Community.Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to your next posts.
Thanks.
Finishing art often takes a few minutes . . . but it can take half an hour. Each page is basically a draft.
It requires scanning the B4, selecting a screentones (which often must be created), and replacing or covering the shading and fills with them; if there are many different screentones required this can take a while however.
This is best done by somebody for hire. (Productive work means do what you do best, delegate the rest.)
On the other hand, you can get utmost clean, sharp images that don't distract from storytelling.
Digital cleaning of the scanned image is the single most annoying and time consuming aspect of finishing art.
Additional backgrounds may have to be added digitally. (Which is something else best done with an assistant.)
The thing is that a full page isn't always what's drawn; 15 images may be separately drawn and combined digitally to make a single page with say panels only 5 in number. (That's a lot of editing.)
I often put off the whole process for a while. (Until there are many images to be done all at once.)
Seems very complicated :O Maybe cuz I am not very talented in that :D Keep up the great work.
