Hey, I've been drawing this comic for TWO YEARS today! Hooray for... 24 pages? =| Ah, well, I'm trying.

Today's installment was made with Mischief... or, the main elements were. [Dialogue and background were Photoshop, basic sketch was Manga Studio.] I like Mischief because it's an inexpensive SCALABLE RASTER drawing program, which is awesome for making large high-res prints. It's a bit lacking in other departments, though--the biggest oversight is some kind of "flip/mirror" tool for ease of spotting proportion errors, but there's also no basic "flood fill" for flat colour, and there are strange issues where something erased at a zoomed-in level is sometimes still visible when zoomed out. Mischief is really better at basic line work, which is where I used to prefer Manga Studio [but find myself wanting to zoom in farther than detail allows, a level Mischief can handle easily]. I do still like the program, but I feel that it takes getting used to using [there's no way to, say, input a hex value to get a very specific colour, for instance], something I hope is fixed in future versions.
