Description
This is my first try with Manga Studio, I did the sketch on paper and then the inking and toning with this software. It's also the first time I really do the inking (before that I "simulated" it with photoshop) but I think it came out right.
I specially liked doing the "toning", even tough I couldn't find much advice on how to do it, so basically I ended doing the way I think it works.
The problem is that at the end I could not decide wich version I prefer. One is leaving some of the line of the initial sketch, and the other without them. So if the people here can help me telling me wich one they prefer, it would be really preciated ^_^
This one is without the sketch lines.
Thanks for watching.

Beautiful work! I honestly can't choose either. Without the sketch lines it looks clean and comic book ready, but I always love the sketch look! I love this character!
Great work! I just got the software also, but really haven't had a chance to give it a try. This makes me want to get after it though.
Once again, great job - I really like these. I think they both look good. This one (without the sketch) looks "cleaner", more finished. However, the other one seems to have more depth to it. I guess I'd say the one with the sketch has more character, so if I had to choose one, I'd select that.
I guess I will have to find and equilibrium between the two. Thanks for the comments.
