あたしの心の秘密、人生のものガタリ。かな氏のとき、嬉のとき、眠らないのと木、全部が心にくず王が不印します。だけどあたしの心痛い出す、心の傷 忘れないです、たとえば気持ち死んでい如煮。

My Activities
manga materials
Must Have Basics
1) PencilEveryone needs a pencil to start off drawing.
2) 8.5"x11" PaperThe most cost effective paper to use is regular printer paper. Choose a size that will work for you (i.e. handle markers, size is easy to transport, etc):9"x12"10"x15"
3) 12" RulerStandard ruler.
4) Work SpaceIn order to work properly, you need a place to draw your stuff.
5) EraserYou can't draw without an eraser to fix your mistakes.
Manga Purposes: Starting Off
1) Inking PensThe are various "inking" pens and the most basic of those that are in pen form
2) Light BoxThe light box is a useful tool to have when you need to re-do an image.
3) TemplatesTemplates come in various shapes and sizes.
4) CompassIf you can't use a pre-sized template, the next best thing is to use a compass.
5) Blue PencilYou've probably seen a pro's work sporting some blue lines.
6) Bendable RulerThe bendable ruler is a flexible piece of material that you can bend to almost any curved shape you desire.
7) T-SquareThe T-square is a long ruler with a 90 angle at one end.
8) 18" RulerThis will come in handy for those papers that are bigger than 12"
9) Doujinshi PaperWhen you're starting out, doujinshi paper or "fan-made" paper is the way to go. Drawing a comic layout is very time consuming!
Manga Purposes: Advanced
1) BrushesThe brushes is mainly used to apply the correction fluid (aka white out).
2) TonesTones are used to add depth and interest to a manga.
3) Manuscript PaperUnlike doujinshi paper, this is the real thing that pro's use to submit their work.
4) Cutting BoardA cutting board is used to protect your workspace (i.e. your desk) from the cutting knife. It's usually a clear plastic piece but if you can find something that works just as well, then use it.
5) Cutting Knife
6) Paper CementPaper cement is used for one purpose: to attach your tones to your manga.
7) Correction Fluid (White Out)White
8) InkInk is what you need if you're using old fashioned pen and nib.
9) Pen and Nib Inking PensThese are the traditional inking pens that uses a nib.
Additional Materials
These are optional materials you can use if you're interested in making pin-ups, colored covers, and other handy things to have.
1) TortillionTortillions are paper wrapped up in a spiral.
2) Colored Pencil
3) Watercolor, Watercolor PencilWatercolor is a good alternative to oil paints and acrylics.
4) AcrylicIf you want to get into painting on canvases, acrylic is the best way to start. Ventilation is not needed unlike oil paints.
5) Oil PaintOil paints is one of the traditional methods of painting on canvases. If you want to use these, make sure you're in a well ventilated area - the fumes are bad for you.
6) Crayons
7) MarkersThere are two types of markers: acid and oil-based.
8) AirbrushAirbrushes create a different effect from other materials because of their spray.
9) FigurinesThese are those wooden modeling dolls you see all the time at art stores. They help depict certain poses you may have trouble picturing or drawing.
10) Color ChartIf you're heavily into coloring your drawings, a color chart is highly useful when you want to make a certain color. It helps to keep colors consistant if you mix your paints on your own instead of buying that particular color.
11) Portfolio WalletA portfolio wallet is basically a big folder that you store and carry your artwork in.
Computer Related Materials , programs for manga art
1) Photoshop, Corel Draw, GIMP or similar graphic softwareIf you want to CG your works properly, you have to get a decent graphic software which has the ability to work with layers. Layers allows you to work with certain parts of your drawing one at a time without affecting other areas. Use whatever software works best with you be it Photoshop, Corel, PaintShop Pro, etc.There are artists out there who use various softwares and even use photo-editing softwares for some neat filter effects. Most graphic software has a trial period - look around and try them out!
2) Drawing TabletIf you CG artwork on a regular basis and is close to getting carpal-tunnel syndrome - then get your hands on a drawing tablet. If you're on a tight budget, you can get tablets for under $100 but if you have no limit - a tablet can run to the $1000's. The cheapest tablets are Wacom's Graphire series which is an excellent starter tablet
.3) CG IllustThis software is specifically for CGing and Anime artists. Created in Japan, this software has nifty features like the other graphic softwares mentioned above. This software also happens to include some CG tutorials from various artists.
4) ComicworksMade in Japan, this software is made specifically for the manga and comic creator. It has all the features you would want on a manga software from tones, fonts, and more.
5) Comic CreatorEndorsed by Tokyopop, Comic Creator is another manga and comic creating software. It doesn't have tones but you can use artwork from some Rising Stars of Manga series. It also has the usual balloons, lettering and usual manga creating features.
6) Manga StudioThe most popular manga creating software, it has everything you need from tones, balloons, paneling, lettering and so on. There are two types: Debut and EX with the latter being the "Professional" version, costing more but sporting more tones and 3D models.
