Airi-san Line Art
Although it's compressed above and therefore doesn't look as good, this line art really came out nice. If you'd like to see the type of quality I'm talking about click on the title for a much better version).
Recently, I've been playing around with a new manga program called manga EX. It gives you the option of drawing onto a raster (pixel based) layer or a vector layer. Vectors have no resolution so it doesn't matter how big you make the image it will never look grainy. This is absolutely fantastic if you would like to produce a file for print AND for posting on the web. So, in this case, it's kinda like photoshop and illustrator all rolled into one. Actually, it's better than that because unlike Illustrator where you basically draw and manipulate shapes in order to make an image (kinda like cutting and pasting construction paper shapes - that's how col describes it) you actually just draw in vectors like you would in photoshop... If you're unfamiliar with all this and it doesn't really make any sense then just take my word for it. For producing digitally inked lineart it's freaking beautiful.
The above lineart was my first attempt at figuring out the program so where as I don't think it's the most awesomest representation of what the program can do...I'm just tickled pink with how it all works.
Now for some random stuff AKA Rakugaki (Leisurely Drawing):
