In the previous video I went into all the details about how you can draft your manga two pages in today's video
I'm going to be talking about different kinds of manga inking techniques
I'm
Also going to be showing you the process of how I earn my manga pages in paint tool Sai if you're new to my channel
Hello welcome. My name is Midnight cross
I am currently in the process of making a single volume manga titled having faith
And I'm also in the process of making a manga series that I've been working on since I was about 13
called reflections through time the Manga page that I'm going to be inking in today's video is going to be an example page from my
project having faith in
this scene
Willow
The main character from my manga project having faith has just been adopted from an orphanage and is being taken to her new home
The page that I am inking in this video does not make sense on its own
but in this scene, it is a necessary page, which is why I wanted to show the full scene for
clarification
After I scan the page and upload it to my computer. The next phase is the inking phase
There are a couple of different ways that you can choose to ink your manga you can ink it all by hand all
digitally
or you can try a little bit of both techniques the tools that I use when I ink manga by hand are
outline 300 pens with small millimeter nibs big fine point pens and markers
For large surfaces and also loved Sharpie markers
Wideout is also really really important if you want to get rid of mistakes, or if you want to add highlights to your page
Some manga artists prefer to use actual nib and pens which is fine
But they do take a lot more control and caution
If you do decide to use that
To ink your manga so it is not something I recommend if you are still a beginner to inking manga pages
I recommend trying something that you have a lot more control over
You can also add screen turns by hand with screen turn pages
This is the most common way manga artists create manga pages in Japan
You can just by screen turn pages online on sites like eBay or other artists websites
I have never used screen turn sheets myself
So I don't understand the pros and cons of using them
but it is definitely something that worth considering before you get to work on your manga pages and
Just try a lot of different techniques to see what works for you
After trial and error, I decided to ink my manga pages digitally and this is for a number of reasons. It was a lot more
practical and efficient for me to ink manga pages on computer rather than trying to set up my desk and tools
to ink manga pages by hand
It took me much less time and it was also a lot easier to correct mistakes
And add darker tones where I wanted to whereas by hands
It would take me a lot longer to make it certain areas darker or to correct mistakes if I did make an inking mistake
I also found that when I ink the manga page and standard
the skin did not turn out at the same level of quality as the traditional pages looked like that's probably just the Falls of
My scanner because it is quite an old scanner
But it was still a problem and I really wanted to keep the quality in the image
Through for the whole page not let it lose. Its quality the moment it gets scanned onto the computer
another reason why I did prefer inking the pages digitally rather than traditionally it was that on the computer I could zoom
Right into the page and get all of all of the little details
Whereas if I did it by hands, I could lose some of those details if I did not use a fine enough pen
There are pros and cons to inking your hand digitally all by hand
But what I recommend is you try a couple of different methods yourself and just see what works for you
it
Is really important to just try a couple of different techniques
Just before you decide on a set style for your manga because that's going to be the style for your whole manga
So you really want to make sure it is a style then you can draw and efficiently and a style that you really enjoy
For my manga pages I use paint tool Sai. I
Use it because it is a program familiar to me and I have used it for many many years
So I have a lot of practice in and I just understand the program really really. Well, I
Opened my draft page in paint tool Sai and then I lower the opacity of the page to about 20%
It depends on how dark the pages and how dark the scan is, but that's usually about the amount
I put it and I can always change that if it doesn't quite show up
Next I open a line work layer and I ink the outside borders for the panels
Then if necessary are open another line work layer and I ink the straight lines and edges in the scene
like lines for furniture or lines in the backgrounds
basically, I just inked the stuff that I can't draw by hand neatly and
The things that need a really straight or really nice curved edge. I
Used the curve tool for lines like this
even the straight lines
because I could just hit the Escape key when I am finished and I find it a lot easier to use and then the
Straight line tool for some reason just the curve tool means I have a lot more freedom to make the line
Look how I want them to
Once I have fully inked all the straight edges in the picture
I open up a plain layer and I use the pen tool
Make sure the density is on 100 before starting because sometimes it does lower for some reason. I don't know why
But just make sure it's on 100 and make the color solid black. I
Then carefully ink all the lines in the picture
If I come to any areas that need adjustment I carefully adjust and change the lines before moving on
This is my least favorite part of the inking phase just because it takes a lot of patience for me
There are a lot of times where I need to undo and fix the lines and just redo the lines
But after it's finished, it is really satisfying to see the fully lined page
So once I have finished inking all the lines
I then turn off the underneath sketch layer and I check the line art for any spaces or things. I did not Inc
Once I have finished checking the page, I open a layer underneath all the line art layers, and this is my solid black layer. I
Use the magic wand tool to select all the areas that I will color solid black
It is really important at least to me to have solid black areas because it adds depth to your pages
It makes certain areas stand out and it also adds a certain atmosphere to areas
I use solid black for dark shadows dark clothing and other areas
For smaller areas, I use the Select pen after I have darkened all the areas
I want to I add another layer underneath the black layer for screen timings. I
Add the screen turn through the textures drop-down box. I set the opacity to 100 and the size to 50%
Paint hillside comes with several screen turns, but you can also install screen turns
I've had this program for so long that I unfortunately can't remember where I got these turns
I may have made them myself at some point, but you can find many paint tool Sai
And patterns on websites like Debian art for free download
If you plan on publishing your manga at the end check to see if it is okay for commercial use first
Then I choose a light gray color
With the screen turn texture on and I use the magic wand tool to select all areas where I will use this shade
I then use the bucket tool or a really large color brush to quickly fill in all those areas
Then I choose a darker gray color and I do the same process. I leave certain areas white for lighter areas
I will come back to look at those a bit more later. I
Then open another layer above the black area
For blond hair I use light brush strokes to ink it you can also use a light green screen tone if you prefer
But I really do like the light brush stroke technique
I think it makes it look a lot more natural and it gives it that little tradition of touch as well
it takes a lot of time to incre and a lot of patience but is actually one of my favorite parts of
The inking process and I really like how the final result looks
for the rest of the page
I use a Krotz cross hatching type of pen technique and little lines to add texture and extra shading to the page. I
Use this for wood textures as well and it just creates a really nice effect and it helps the whole page to look more interesting
Now that I have finished doing the basic inking I go over the page and look for areas
I
could add some extra shading to I usually make an extra layer for this and add screen turns over those areas in
A gradient style. So I just blur it out with the water blur tool if
The page needs a little extra
I sometimes make another layer over the page
Put the thing to multiply and add a light gray gradient screen turn over the whole page or in certain darker areas
the final stage of my inking which I don't always do but it does help of some pages is I add white tones or
little white
highlighted areas to make the page pop I
Open the layer above all the others and I use the color pen
I make the color white and then I add white spots to areas of the page. I
Do this with fire and sometimes with the lights on how and shiny areas things that need a little extra shine
Now the inking for this page is complete
I save the side file, but I also save a JPEG file to a file titled inked pages
Sometimes this is all the page needs, but when a page has extra dialogue or sound effects, I need to open it in paint.net
Paint under is great for editing pages like this for my dialogue. I use Lafayette. Comic Pro font
I like this font because it is a free license font
Make sure when using a font that it is okay for commercial use
use a font that suits the style of your manga or comic I
Open a layer above the drawing on paint.net and type the dialogue using the text tool and move the text to fit the speech bubbles
once I have finished writing the dialogue, I open another layer below it and with smaller writing I write sound effects if any I
use the selection tool to make them smaller or put them on a slight angle around the characters and
Now the page is completely finished and I save it
So that is my process for inking pages and I hope the tips and tricks I gave you in today's video
Helps you decide the way that you want to incur mega pages, wherever it be digitally by hand or a mix of both
Let me know in the comments below. How you
Incur mein the pages because I'd love to know it and I'd love to hear about your projects
Thank you so much for watching my video today everyone
I really really hope it helped you in the final part of this video series
