Description Thanks, everyone, for your detailed comments in response to my questions about "How to Draw Manga" books. You provided incredibly helpful information, one and all!

Here's a side by side comparison of the establishing "cityscape" spread from Brody's Ghost, Book One. Note that all the signs in the rough are in Japanese; The story was originally to be set in futuristic Tokyo. It is now set in a futuristic city that is never named, a place where people from almost every country on earth live side by side.

A very big thank you to everyone who has already pre-ordered Brody's Ghost at Amazon: [link]

I am really blown away by your support!

Mark

Are you using a digital program like photoshop to get highlighted and sharp areas? Thinking about the drawing at the bottom.

Just a curious fan

love your art, realy cool!

I really love your cityscapes, they're definitely my favourite aspect of your work. Always so detailed and vast, seems like they go on forever, not just a back drop but an actual environment (:

KyzosArt [2010-07-11 02:51:02 +0000 UTC]

the final looks a little too clean in my opinion. yes yes, its a very dirty city, but as artwork, it looks too clean ><
I don't know, maybe its preference. awesome work nonetheless!

KimiNagano [2010-07-08 19:07:58 +0000 UTC]

Have a question... Do you draw the rough sketch first, and then trace it on another paper, or ink the sketch and then delete the pencil?
