    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.

    Crank sometimes sounds like Muttley of the Wacky Races cartoon.

    thanks kevin! that’s great info there.

    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).

    Lucky:

    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.

    Well I’m entertained, listening to 2 guys inking their comics, while I’m inking too. Passes the time and good for a laugh.
