Well here it is, an end-to-end process of how I ink and tone a doujin page in Manga Studio EX4. o.o
This is page 112 in the story (the program says “page 14” because Manga Studio only allows up to 99 pages in one storyfile so after reaching that number I had to start a new one and the page numbering was reseted). The page I was supposed to work on considering the page order is 99 but I had to jump to 112 becasue of certian reasons.
You can see my page sketches are quite rough at times. Out of Yuui’s 4 different outfits in the story, only his first outfit was pre-designed - the one he wore on the preview with Chii (I had no more time for designs) so regarding this outfit I pretty much came up with the details of on the spot. @_@b
The full process took me almost 2 hours in real time. That’s pretty much the average I spend on a page.

If people are interested, I might record a process again sometime. ^^

I’ve always been really hesitant to work in ComicStudio (mangastudio), simply because the learning curve is so high (trust me, I’ve tried). Deleter Comicworks is so lightweight and intuitive that it’s hard for me to want to switch. I might give it another go after watching this, though. This was really neat. :)
