I am wondering if anyone uses the drawing tools such as brazier tool etc. in CorelDraw to create Manga Art. I have Corel x3 on my laptop under Vista and I have played around with it a little, but I have a new PC running Windows7 and apparently x3 won't work so I will have to buy x4 full version since my x3 CD was broken. I hate the steep price, but if it is a viable way to go for drawing Manga I guess I will swallow very hard and do it. A lot of money for a hobby tho;(
I am not all that good at taking a pencil and drawing, but when I can draw a line in Corel and then adjust it, I do ok...
Any information would be helpful....thank you
There is an animated comedy series that runs on, I believe, The Comedy Channel, that is called "South Park". The characters are created in CorelDRAW and then exported to another software application, for the animation portion of the creation.
I use the bezier tool, along with a few other tools, to create drawings. I am not into anime creation, but the CorelDRAW tools I use would be the same that any person would use to create anime drawings.
To see what some of the possibilities are, with CorelDRAW, look over the Galleries section of this web site, it may give you some ideas, also. And as you progress, you will probably end u with questions on technique. There are plenty of people, on this forum, that would be glad to help you learn more about Corel's CGS.
Thank you so much:) I have messed with it a little, and looked high and low for perhaps a tutorial where someone actually did it with Corel where they talked you through it. I have seen some tutorials where they did a time lapsed drawing with unknown program, but you can't really tell what or how they are doing it and it is more frustrating than helpful:)
I have managed to make some incredible looking eyes, but I bet my method would cause people that know what they are doing to laugh themselves silly, but there just isn't anything I can find.....
I have looked in the gallery, but I haven't found much in the way of Manga so far but I have seen some portraits that are absolutely incredible. Amazing...what talent is on board here!
Yes, I did it all i draw. I made the shapes with the brazier tool, I used a radial transparency on the eyeball, I used a contour and mesh fill on the iris of the eye and I made the lines in the eye using a poly star. I haven't added eyelashes yet. I have done that before using the destortion tool, but I don't like the look of that. I need to figure out another way to do that w/o having to draw and shape each individual lash.
What you did in paint looks interesting. I will give it a try too later.
Hi, seems I am among experts of draw so i hope you wouldn't mind answering this question....
I am creating some illustrations showing how things are assembled in designer x4, the objects are created in AutoCAD, I then transfer these in to corel in the view required and to add colour. I need to add some people positioned correctly in the illustration... how would you go about doing this?
I have currently taken some photographs of a colleague stood in the correct postions and intend to trace this on to the illustration though it seems a time consuming process. Is this the correct technique or am i missing something?
Thanks for any replies.
Thanks Steve,
I have not used the mask tool before but have been using the cut-out lab which is quite simple. How come though after using cut-out lab, I have to save the image as a new file to keep the background out? When I edit an original photo for example in cut-out lab, if I then try to save the file, it says it will merge with the background?

Normal 0 Sorry to disappoint you Jeff- I just tried this with CS4 and it works quite nicely. I'm kind of surprised...
