Detective Conan "Realization" pg4 [doujin]

Here's page 4 of my doujinshi "Realization". ^^ I drew this mainly on Paint Tool SAI, added screentones on Manga Studio, and then added the text with Photoshop. Since I forgot to add the speak bubbles on Manga Studio, I belatedly did that on Photoshop. That's why it looks kinda comic-y and not manga-ish. Sucks! :/

Ayumi Yoshida

I drew and colored this with Paint Tool SAI. I just realized that there are a couple tiny flaws in my coloring. UGH! Never mind that. Also, I can't draw skirts and ties well, but I was only focusing on coloring.

Shinichi Kudo and Ai Haibara

So yeah, I did my first colored manga page on Paint Tool SAI. It took me ages to finish this and I'm still not 100% happy but anyway...
If you're looking for SFX in Japanese, you can find them on The Jaded Network. It's a great site, I can only recommend it. ^^

Ayumi Yoshida and Ai Haibara

Sketched on: Paint Tool SAI
Edited on: Manga Studio
Time of work: about 20 hours

I always thought that Ai Haibara (or rather Shiho Miyano) kinda reminded me of Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion, I mean they almost have the same "robot-like" personality. I drew this based on this image, I only changed the uniform to the Teitan High School uniform.



So, I tried sketching it first on Paint Tool SAI. I swear to Gawd this was an awful procedure since SAI is a new program to me and it took me like hours to figure out the right setting for the brush or inking. I even tried coloring it, but I'm not yet that familiar with SAI, so I just proceeded to Manga Studio to add some values.

The canvas size is 3500px, so I used the ink pen size 9.0, stabilizer (S-5), Min Size 7% and just traced over the sketch. There should be a new layer over the sketch layer (make an individual one for the face [eyes, lips, brows]), but when I took this screenshot, this image had been drawn already. I only re-opened this a .png file, that's why there aren't other layers.



Yeah, I love Manga Studio, though I hate the ink tool. I always have the reference open to "copy" it. I'm a novice, don't judge me. (^_^')

Detective Conan "Ayumi's Tea Party" [doujin]

Reading direction: Right to Left

Sketched and drawn on: Manga Studio
Typeset on: Photoshop CS5
Time of work: I think it was about 30hours (I'm a newbie!)

The last three panels are a bit confusing, I know. The one with Conan in it is the LAST panel.

I've put a watermark on it since the original size can be downloaded from my blog. There've been douches actually stealing my artwork, which is so not fair. *grumpy* Draw your own doujinshi; it's not that hard. Just practice! Visit my deviantART gallery.

Detective Conan "Realization" (doujin)

A filler page for my DC doujinshi. Theme of drawing is based on this picture "A Walk To Remember" with Mandy Moore. Loved that movie.

Detective Conan pg3 "Realization" (doujin)

It's not much. I've left out the screentone unlike in the previous 2 pages. Will add them in "filler" pages only to save time. *shrugs* I haven't drawn anything since last December, lost motivation and inspiration, and I'm still waiting for newer episodes of Detective Conan, especially the ones with Ai Haibara. :)

EDIT: I decided to add some screentones seeing that the previous version looked too plain.
