If you've made a manga (lets say on print paper and the drawings are fairly large) could you scan the hand-drawn pictures on your computers and then size them down to a book size?
Also is there somehow a way to make a cover for the front? (or like a Binding)
I've made bookcovers last year (in my art class!) from recycled paper and we had to sew the pages to the binding
is it like that?
thanks! o^_^o

I don't know too much about about these things, but I have spent some time around people who do.
You'll probably need to ink your pictures to get to show up when you scan them. If you can size them down and they look ok resolution-wise I see no reason why you couldn't do it.
I don't know anything about book binding though, sorry.

It would be helpful if you had Manga Studio (has templates for real manga pages and everything) or Photoshop. They're good graphic programs to fix this stuff.
If you already know about this, sorry, I'm just trying to help, desu~

You can ink perfectly! They have tools that totally help you make a manga. xD; It's more helpful when you have tablets... *really lucky c=* Now... the thing is... they're both not free and cost an insane amount of money... >.>; Well, Manga Studio Debut is $49 something and EX (professional version) is over $100. Photoshop prices... I'm not sure about, but, yeah, they do cost a bit. However, they do sell some cheap Photoshop versions, I think. Those versions are more for photographs and such, but you can still use basic photo manipulation tools, especially pens and brushes to successfully complete your mission of inking. There is a thing called GIMP out there which is a free program similar to Photoshop. You might want to check that out if you wanted, I personally never have tried it. |

I have friends who use GIMP, and they say it's just as good- if not better- than Photoshop and it's free. I personally haven't tried it, but I've been quite tempted..

I personally think that gimp is rather hard to use XD;
*got so frustrated with it after a week or so*
but that was a long time ago.
If you buy a tablet, they usually come with some sort of disc with art software on it. Photoshop elements 5 comes with a wacom bamboo. But its like a simplified version of 'regular' photoshop. (they have a bunch of different versions)

BAMBOOS ARE AMAZING. xD I don't know. I really like mine. It came with, like, 3 programs.
Photoshop alone costs like ... 300 dollars? I think that's for the new one, I'm sure you could do what you're doing with a trial.
But once you get used to photoshop you can't go without it. e__e It's so helpful. I know nothing about manga studio. I bet you could download manga templates for photoshop or make some. :3;
