So I decided.  Manga Studio is way to complex and its workspace far too cluttered for me to concentrate on a sketch with.  Maybe I can us it in some other part of the work flow…like the layout for instance.  Its page layout and panel formatting features look really nice.  And its got an amazing array of texture screens that I still want to try out.  But for creating the initial sketches, it just doesn’t cut it.  For my hand, none of the others come close to Sketchbook Pro.

At some point I’ll start producing some cartoons with it.  Right now I’m still in a learning curve.  I’ll post some more sketches along the way.  When I do a complete cartoon in the computer I’ll let you all know which one it was, so you can compare.  Hopefully, the only person who notices the difference will be me.  As in, no more stacks of layout paper on my drawing board…no more cursing at jammed up Rapidographs…no more inhaling fixative fumes…no more erasers that tear up the paper…
