Hello, I love your work and the story really drawn me in. From one comic artist to another, what is the process you go through when composing a page? Do you do something like,
- Write script, dialogue and/or what happens in each panel.
- Rough sketch page panel design and placing where you might want things to be
- Upload rough sketch to computer and use program.
Something like that? Can you tell me what programs you use? I'm very interested and would help a lot since I'm trying to know what to expect and find some tools that others use to find what might work for me? Thank you.

Oh wow, sorry. I didn't see this shout until today. ^^;;
So hm, back then, I used to do it like this:
I'd sketch a rough layout of the page on paper, just deciding where I'd divide the frames and character's poses and dialogue.
Then I'd upload it to the computer and draw a fine sketch, then do the lineart, coloring, shading, then background and finally lettering.Nowadays I do it all digitally, but the process is the same;
First; Decide the page layout with speeches and poses.
Second; Sketch it all and make changes as necessary.
Third; Inking, coloring, backgrounding and lettering.I dunno if it's accurate or understandable, but let me know if you have any doubts about it. =o
Worst case scenario, check this:

Oh very cool, that does explain a lot, do you just use manga studios? Which version? Is it latest? Do you use mouse, tablet or Cintiq?
I'm trying to get into digital in future. But I know I have quite a bit of learning to do. But you seem to definitely have a lot of practice and you work very well. :)

Thanks! I've been using the latest Manga Studio (version 5), I use Photoshop for lettering though, but the whole drawing, colorind, shading and rendering is done on Manga Studio.
I do all my work now on a Cintiq, but I began drawing on paper, scanning and finishing it on the computer with a cheap intuos tablet, nothing fancy.-
Oh nice, I heard Photoshop is a monthly fee program? If that's the case is the a non monthly software for it or is it locked behind it?
Did it take you a while to get used to the Cintiq when you got it?
-
Fuck me, I keep forgetting to check these answers! D:
Yeah, the Photoshop is a monthly fee program. However, Manga Studio/Clip Studio Paint is a pay once and that's it. It also has the ability to do lettering, but I prefer Photoshop because it's easier to edit balloons there.
Also, not much, I've been using a common tablet for years, the Cintiq didn't take long to adjust. The only problem is to find a comfortable position for it, since you can't have it flat on your desk, otherwise you won't see what you're drawing. So finding a position that doesn't tires the arm and isn't uncomfortable is quite a challenge.
Also, just like in paper, your hand blocks part of the screen, which isn't all thaaat nice, but you get used to it.-
Hehe it's ok I know your a busy person Kimmy-kun. Thanks for answering my questions though, it helps me be prepared when I get there down the line. :)

Comic is interesting so far, I see a few grammatical errors, but nothing I don't think you wouldn't notice if you re-read your pages. ^-^ Good luck with your little web comic!
