Thanks for the kind words. Sorry for the late reply. I've been away from the site for a little while.

I don't really want to do that. It'll probably come along at some point but that doesn't interest me right now.

Yeah.  I know.  Just said what came to mind.  Like Wolf Larson in Jack London's Sea Wolf . . . "One of these days you'll all jump overboard.  That's suggestion!"  (And they did.)

The stuff I do digitally tends to be less rendered. I think if I'm doing things intended for color I should do them completely digital.

Not sure what you mean.  There isn't any difference between digital and traditional inking.  You can do tonal rendering, or brush outline (decorative outline style), or ligne claire - any open line style.  So, not sure what you mean.
If the work is intended for color, it begs the question, by what means will the rendering be done - by line or color? (In your case, you like to do it in both.  I find it disagreeable, aesthetically.  Too busy.  Redundant.  Render in ink, color flat, loosely.  Render in color, ink with outlines, simply, decoratively.

I'm not too fond of digital line rendering, so when I draw digitally, I go straight to color. The line work is simpler.

That surprises me.  I would have thought the difference didn't matter to you - digital, pen and paper.  What's that about?  The feel, or the actual performance of the instruments?

I think you told me about Manga Studio 5 when we first started talking.  I got it (Clip Studio Paint EX).  I think the lines are INKredible compared to what I was getting in Photoshop. And with all the adjustments possible, anyone can render with line.  In fact, I think depending on those adjustments (stabilizers, etc)  could ruin someone who is good at it, so it's probably a good idea to turn them off, at least when practicing.

Ton of questions for you about using MS5 and working digitally in general.  That's all I'm doing, now - digital.  Got a handle on the tech (transparencies, masks, etc.,), starting another upswing after a bit of a latency period.

There are tons of tactile and sensory stimuli that is lost for me with digital inking. Mind you, I'm still using an intuos, too. That's not an excuse, but for me, there's still a separation between the tool and the art. Digitally, I get excited about painting. I haven't had a chance to play around with it in a while, though.

About MS5, ask away, I'll try to help in any way I can.

The painting in PS is better than MS5.  I'm still trying to adapt to the latter and fairing so-so.  The paint seems to go on as if in multiply blending mode, even when the layer mode is set to normal.  Looks like grease pastel smeared on glass.  Some of this effect is likely controlled by the tool itself, so I have to fully explore the brushes.  But, basically, great for line drawing, hatching, decorative swooshy outlines, but not great for dry media tones (i.e. charcoal tonal drawing) or color blending. 

I'll hold off on the questions for now.  I have a lot of study to do and it's progressing well.  So, gonna stick with one thing at a time.  But, when you have time, and after you've played with it for a while, I'd like to compare notes.
