Mr Kazu, I'm just wondering what kind of paint program do you use? Photoshop, Painter? Please I would like to know, dear sir.

Your color palette is absolutely out of this world. It truly is refreshing to view and experience. Where can I learn to color like that? Can you give me some directions ----> Books, online tutorials, influences, etc?

Thank-you for taking the time to read this.

Sincerely,

Hey there,

I use Photoshop CS. I've been meaning to put together a tutorial or something for a while. I'll keep everyone posted at my site if I do that....

I always wonder why everybody seems to use Photoshop?
Isn't Illustrator the program from Adobe that's supposed to be for drawing and stuff and Photoshop just for touching up photos?

What's better in Photoshop, compared to Illustrator?

That's not really true. The difference between Photoshop and Illustrator is that Photoshop is what's called a raster program and Illustrator is a vector program. To put it basically, in Photoshop you are working with images on a pixel-by-pixel basis, but in Illustrator you are putting together images based on graph co-ordinates and lines and shapes (not that you're working on a graph or anything).

They're both useful for different things; Personally, I almost never make anything that hasn't used a lot of both. Most people that I know who color ink drawings tend to use Photoshop. If you wanted really elegant, smooth shapes of color, though, Illustrator might be a better choice. It all depends on what you want to do.

One thing that Illustrator will never have that rules the earth, though:

DODGE AND BURN TOOL. Rock and roll!!!

Type features are far superior in Illustrator. I like to ink in reality colour in Photoshop and assemble pages (panel borders adding text and balloons etc) in Illustrator. Lately I've been trying to go all digital but I can't seem to capture the same character of line, even with a tablet.
