Manga Studio and uh... Manga. Question.
12 years ago
So as you all know, I've been doing a lot of Jester and "humanoid" stuff lately...
And I think the time has come for me to start thinking about making COMIC PAGES for it!
Problem is, I have no idea what does what in Manga Studio. I'm familiar with Photoshop, intimate with Corel Painter, But Manga Studio seems... confusing.
Is there anybody out there in internet-land that can help me to uh... familiarize myself with Manga Studio?

I have Manga Studio Debut 4. I've messed with it a few times. It seemed fairly straightforward, but I only went as far as basic linework within a few frames. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5370579/
It would be a good start if you told us the version that you are working with and what problems you are having. For a quick ref guide, YouTube is really awesome at giving step-by-step tutorials for art programs. :)
I suppose you can also do comics in Autodesk Sketchbook Pro using the Ruler tool you could use to draw frames of any size or any tilted-rectangular shape, but the caveat to that program is that it saves art in only CMYK and all dark colors have splotchy gray overtones when saved as a PNG or JPG. :P
My last Photoshop was Photoshop CS1, so I don't know any of the features PS can bring these days. Gimp is good, but there doesn't seem to be a ruler tool that can be maneuvered easily in any direction like Autodesk can do.
Otherwise, I'd advise you to check out the Manga Studio Debut and EX 4 Training from Doug Hills on YouTube, which has several short lessons touching on some of the basic and intermediate controls and tools for Manga Studio, which most of them should translate over to your ver. 5, or at least give you a starting point for reference.
Good luck, and feel free to contact me if there's anything I can help with.
You told me about Monoprice tablets so I'm telling you about Krita.
I will check it ouuuut. If it's as good as Corel Painter, then I'll be sold.
