Coinhero's sketchbook

[Coinhero]

Actually I think you paint kinda fast, but then again, i'm a really slow painter. I should probably work on that :P 

The comic is coming along well! I have never worked on a comic myself, but in my daytime work some of my duties is graphic design and I also work with a couple of local magazines etc.. And one main thing I learned on the job is the many benefits of doing stuff like these in InDesign instead of Photoshop. While photoshop is great for photos and painting it is lacking (a lot) in layout and typography. Also an InDesign filesize doesn't take up as much space on your hard drive as a photoshop file. 

In practice this would mean that you: plan your layout before hand > then paint each piece in photoshop > then Place the picture in the Indesign document, you can then, finally, move around every picture and change the layout and add text.

But like i said, i've never worked on a comic, and if you don't already know InDesign it can be kind of a pain in the ass to learn a new program. But that is probably how i would do it in the end, just because of the freedom and other benefits you get from it in the long run :-)

Keep going with the comic, I wanna know more about them! 

I'm actually studying graphic design in university and I've done a couple of booklet prints before so I know how to do all that stuff (kind of). I was thinking of just getting clip studio and doing all the lines and layout there and just painting in photoshop, sounds like the most simple solution to me. I don't like how many steps you have to do in indesign to make simple things, just feels stiff but when I'm done with everything I'll probably chop it up in photoshop and stitch it back in indesign because I'll probably end up printing because it ties in with some university stuff I have to do this year. Also I don't want to make a layout and stick to it because it's my first time doing a comic and I keep learning new thing and keep coming back and changing old panels 
I'll play around with clip studio today
