Basically, this method is far superior to that outlined in part 2, and is my preferred method of producing cartoons. Of particular note will be the use of objects (or layers) to produce an image that is not only better, but is far more readily edited and changed should a potential client have trouble making up their mind!

My first impression is that the paint/illustration tools wouldn't be much different to what I've described above, but the publishing tools might be better. Not sure though - it's hard to tell without using it personally. I'll give it a go sometime if I can! Hi John,

It's software designed in Japan specifically to create black and white comic books... and no, I have no connection with e-Frontier. I'm just a hobbyist cartoonist.

The first is simply replacing the traditional method with the computer - using a flat image and adding colour with either the paint bucket tool or the drawing tool in my software.
