DRAWING AND PAINT

How to draw manga comics panel and finished color video and step by step process.

This is a process of the first panel on page 3 of "Shanghai Express."
The scene show interaction, mostly conversational, between the waitress and one of the character (monk dude)
The words in the bubble are still to be written.

*Since this will be Manga comics (color), my approach is the make most of the panels quick, simple style (which I am still experimenting to find my way), and readability. It would be as detail oriented as most of my video sketches. I cannot take a lot of time to refine, just like most manga...The Story goes on and keep up the pace. I hope you guys can enjoy this simplicity also. :)
