Upgraded to Manga Studio 5 this week, Did some sketching to get used to the new layout. Took me a while to figure out how "Stroke-in/Stroke-out" had changed.

That is just the basic version right? I heard the EX version wasn't going to be out for a while. Been hearing great things and really want to try it out, the work looks great.

Are the colors in MS or Photoshop?

Yep, just the basic version: [link]

I think EX5 is going to be out this summer, but honestly this version does everything I need so I'll probably just stick with it. I'll mainly just ink in it.

Every bit was done in MS5: pencils, inks, colors. The layer blending modes in MS5 seem a lot better: screen, overlay, etc.

If you do get it, I would recommend grabbing Ray Frenden's brushes too: [link]

His "painterly" brush really blends nicely. That's all I used to color in the piece above.

Thanks, I think I will try the MS5 and maybe upgrade when EX comes out. I will definitely check out Frenden's brushes, I actually met him at an art show a few years ago here in Chicago.

Pew pew. I actually laughed out loud. Looking good. I need to get the Manga Studio.

Thanks! It really is the best inking program I've ever used.
