@ germine
i will be damn shocked if drew that maga art by urself, am i will be double damned if was a gurl,

gamine *is* a girl, and she *did* draw that stuff herself.

I have personally set eyes on her pen-and-paper work and believe me, it looks even better than the scanned versions u see here.

And no, she's NOT fat, she's NOT pimply, she does NOT wear goggles and she is definitely not a nerd

yes, tremble with feeeeear

@ germine

@ HeBrid-X

whuts so frickin shockin abt it

i will be double damned if was a girl

uve put urself in trouble now

The only think Gamine wants to do with her comic-drawing talent? She wants to brag about it. QED.

@ germine

i apologise if u offended,its just that i find it very difficult to beleive a gurl actually did does stuff u did,if i were to rate the works on this thread ,urs will be amongst the top 1st (amongst the best) no doubt about it.

neverthe less dear,its seems u really on-top of tha game,u really good n u got THE skills
, then dont let it get into ur head kid.

by the way how old are u?
are u still in school?
if u working,who are u working for?

just curious,

much respect to all the other artist in tha block, u 'all HOT

Actually, a lot of girls are good artists. A girl is much more likely to be a designer than an engineer.

Please guys, I am a very good cartoonist but a practical novice in the computer field (although i know virtually everything in corelDraw and other application packages) but I do not know how to give color to my cartoons, you know, like make it look REAL.

Please forward any information to my e-mail box: feelirabs@yahoo.com

Does anyone on Nairaland have any idea on where I can find a manual on cartoon designing on the computer, because although I have Adobe Photoshop (Is that Okay?) I don;t know how to use it.

Do you know where I can find anyone who can make mutual use of my art skills?

And I mean mutual.

Thanks for your assistance, guys

You guys are gr8

Adjain, get a Tablet to help u better with drawing

i use a mouse and its not too ok, but i try

thanks for the hail.

I am very glad to be on this forum. thanks once again, Gamine for your advice.

I have started using Adobe Photoshop 5.0 and will soon post my best work.
But is this what is used for the commercial comic? It seems damn too slow.

Sorry for the word "Damn"

But I want info.

adjain,

Most of the commercial comics are drawn on paper and scanned in image manipulation programs for digital touch up/colors. You've got the skills (obviously) but don't waste your energy on any crappy program, they will only stunt your artistic growth and frustrate you. I say draw your stuff the way you want it ON PAPER, and scan into Photoshop (Since you've picked that up). Your speed issue will fade away with time and constant practice.

spoken like a true pro

however u should let em know that the skills required to tidy up a scanned image will have a slight learning curve,

Some mouse-drawing skillz are also neccesary, I think.

Actually, 'clean-up' is best done by hand. All you need to do is place a clean sheet over the rough image and trace it, and then re-scan the cleaned-up version. Atleast that's the conventional way of doing it, for both animation and comic-books. Using a mouse, on the other hand, is way too time-consuming and can be difficult to master.

Thanks guys, but can you tell a blind guy inthe ways of photoshop how to apply colours and all those other eefcts?

photoshop 5?

whut kinda system r u using?

Adjain, i advise u , use Photoshop CS series ooh, better for u
