![]() Also, here's an old video I made of myself drawing Lee, from Naruto. They were all created using some version of the ArtRage program (2.6 - Pro). I've posted some images I created at the bottom of this post, that relate in some way to a " Manga" style. It may take a bit longer, because it'd have to be done in a work around sort of way, but it should all be possible. And it's not like anything mentioned couldn't be done using the older versions of the program in a different way. Since you are getting the program for your ten year old son, there's a possibility he won't need or even want to use most of these features. ![]() With tabs that allows us to drag the ends out to easily make it longer or shorter, and marked with proper measuring points, the ruler is perfect for doing thing like 2 point and 3 point perspective.Of course, this isn't to say you couldn't, or even shouldn't, go with ArtRage 2.5 over ArtRage Studio Pro. ♦ The Ruler (being similar to a stencil) is unique. Use stencils for anything from added textures over areas (like halftones) or masking areas off, to keep color from getting in there. ♦ Stencils can be made from any image or even layers you've just drawn on within the program itself. ![]() If that whets your appetite and you find it does not fulfill all your Manga style ambitions, then I would check out Manga Studio more. My recommendation would be to start with AR for its ease of use and potential for great results. I have it, but have it but finding it very technical (admittedly I'm a berk of the first order though) have never got to grips with it. There is a dedicated Manga creation software called 'Manga Studio', that includes all you would need to create a comic strip, with boxes, text, effects lines, half tone screens and anything else you could think of. The traditional skills used in real media will serve you well in AR. Just about any style is, with a bit of practice. Is it a dedicated Manga style software - no. As you get to understand the power of the software, things like Photoshop compatible layers with blending modes come into play, expanding what you can achieve. You can pick it up and get results straight away, using tools like the pencil and crayons that will be immediately familiar and responsive. ![]() ArtRage is a great introduction to creating drawings and paintings on a computer.
