Great Books For Learning how to create your own Manga.

If you are planing on making you own Manga or just like to create a story for fun. This book is the way to go not only is affordable it has many great tips and instruction of how to use Screen-tones, Coloring with water color, Creating finished work, Special Techniques for Manga artist, and the list just keep going on and on. I recommend this book to everyone. The book title is a bit misleading "Draw Your Own Manga" it doesn't teach how to draw Manga.

The Second Book that I like to mention is called Shoujou Art Studio. This is amazing Book if you want to create Manga fast, it comes with a CD, giving you many helpful things for you to get your MANGA done in a short time. It comes with Screentones, manga speech bubble, Background like school, class room, Kitchen, even Characters with different poses and different clothes, expressions. Definitely a book the I would recommend for people who's interested in Creating MANGA.

Programs and Tools that I like to use for Drawing, Editing.

Programs that I can't just live without when it comes to coloring or editing. There's many softwares out there that they are great to have, but only some of them that only meets of what you need.


Well let me start with some softwares that not many people know about or don't give it a chance because they think that there's is no Software that can match up to Photoshop.
The first software I remember starting with was Photoimpact8, now this software is better then what people give it credit for I've learned so many things thanks to this software it has tons of cool effect, features. so this is a software that you must check out and goes for a decent price that's affordable.

The second software that I would like to mention is Gimp. Now if you love Photoshop but you can't afford it Gimp is the software for you, the cool thing about Gimp it almost have everything that Photoshop has except the only differnet between the two is that Gimp is for free while Photoshop cost lots of money talk about a great deal so if you never given a Gimp a chance you definitely should it won't disappoint you.

The last software I would like to mention is Painter2 there's not much to say about this, is as good as the other two you definitely should also give this a try as well.
