Sooo... I'm really starting to think seriously about this comic thing. The above is a reeeaaallly rough test of how I'd end up doing a page. It's based on my minimal knowledge of how a comic is actually made, so it's probably crap, but it's the smartest layering approach I could come up with in the twenty minutes I took to doodle it. It started in photoshop where I used the line tool to make the panels, then I moved it to Painter (go 30 day trials!), filled in the panel layer with the grey gutter color, then just kept adding layers beneath it as I saw fit. A 50% opacity sketch layer, a 100% opacity "linework" layer (in this image, the linework is really just more random, staggering sketches), a color layer under the linework, a shading layer above that, and a word bubble layer above everything.
YAY for EXPERIMENTS!
