Manga inking study

A study of the japanese graphic novel style, using a reference. Mostly focusing on the linework.
Made all in Krita…
There’s hope for advanced layout in comic making with this app.
Thank God, thanks to the devs !

And this down here is just a test to check if it’s possible to layout panels while
drawing a background in the blank area.

Fortunately, selecting pixel data of a group of layers is possible and it
ignores the layer styles. Then the resulting mask
allowed me to do what you see.

I, am happy.

Pretty good. The top image is probably the most faithful recreation of this kind of comic that I’ve seen come out of Krita.

Yep, I know no professional artist who uses Krita to make mangas. :neutral_face:
