If you’re interested in coloring, go to http://www.masterdigitalcolor.com

They run a comprehensive site over there full of tips, tutorials and essays on all aspects of comic creation with a heavy emphasis on coloring.

i’m not truly reading freddie’s book from the viewpoint of ever drawing comics, but rather understanding (especially since i do have a working knowledge of photoshop – i have a bs in industrial design) of what the process is in creating comics. if i were to ever get into the business of comics, i’d be most interested in coloring and/or lettering.

again, thanks! now that i’ve read freddie’s book i have to re-listen to the cc episode where mike talks about the book, as well as the cgs episode(s).

I know Mike has it, I’m not sure about Crank, and no, we don’t mention it. I do think Mike talks about it a bit on a previous episode, but I’ll be damned if I can recall which one.

Freddie’s book, a lot like all the “DC Comics Guide To…” is a great resource, but Mike and I both work quite differently in Manga Studio than the Photoshop Techniques that Freddie details quite thoroughly in that book.

If you’re interested in Manga Studio, the Debut version is a cheap entry point (and the version that Mike and I use) to it. There’s a comprehensive guide out called “Manga Studio for Dummies” that I have, but haven’t really read. Like Mike, I’m very much a “learn by doing” guy.

a god mix of stupidity, making comics info and stuff thats going on.
