Tutorial library

This message was edited 5 times. Last update was at 17/02/2011 13:56:38

After reading what Studio Kawaii posted I thought it might be a good idea to make a thread where we can post up tutorials that we found helpful. Like our own little library for others to look through maybe? I'm not sure if you all already know all of these but if anyone else has any to add please feel free and do so!

Here are a few tutorials that I use online to help me get better with my work:
Favorite Spot!
http://www.deleter.jp/eng/deleterclub/mangatechnique/
*This is my favorite place to go to when I need help or inspiration! It has a lot of helpful things.*

Typesetting:
http://unblessed.net/guide/main.html
*I use the fonts from here for my comic

*

Page Scripting examples/Writing:
http://www.mangatutorials.com/index.php?do=/news/how-to-write-out-a-manga-in-3-easy-steps/
*I always like to see how others script there pages. I usually find some helpful techniques for me to script my story more clear as well*

http://www.mangatutorials.com/index.php?do=/news/how-to-think-of-a-good-manga-story-in-5-simple-steps/
http://www.mangatutorials.com/index.php?do=/news/storymaking-basics/
*These two helped me get a better grasp on my story so that it doesn't jump from one spot to the next but has one clean and clear journey. I have issues with making stories to long sometimes or just to complex so this helped me gather my thoughts in an get the story settled*

*This looked pretty helpful as well! It's always good to stay organized~*

Inspiration I watch:

Character test

Wow, this is useful, indeed! Had no idea there was a site called "mangatutorials", lol...

Many people has asked us how we did the Magic Circles on TSC chapter 10. Well, here´s the tutorial we followed :3 :

Not a tutorial place, but it´s quite useful to get font types from (mostly free):

http://www.dafont.com/

I´ll edit this as I come up with more useful stuff! XD

Cool beans!! Makes me want to draw one of those now!! Thank you Studio Kawaii! *I totally forgot about Dafont O.O*

Another great place for fonts: Blambot

Nice share guys. Keep 'em coming

http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/657 great entry on learning to draw and drawing.

http://www.comictool.blogspot.com/ interesting talk about comic tools - both in metaphorical and material meaning.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXbHC7a5lSk Miwa Shirow's drawing; there is 10 videos showing different steps of making the picture and I think it's really inspiring even if you don't understand Japanese (if you understand a bit it's even better

)

Thank you neekaneeks and Pedes for sharing your helpful links!!

Basic face tutorial, but it's drawn by Phobs, and that's ALWAYS inspirational to look at.

I found this while Stumbling and it looks pretty useful for facial expressions and stuff...

My friend Yori has an alternate deviantArt account specifically dedicated to collecting tutorials, which is always a useful resource. :3
