It’s even better if you’re using a Wacom Cintiq tablet (or any Wacom product) as it gives you total control over your lines and inking capabilities. Those of you who are familiar with Manga Studio EX 4 know that it’s considered the go-to program for the comics art industry, but artists in many areas are finding the features offered are useful in their fields as well.įor those of you who aren’t sure exactly what Manga Studio is, it’s a vector- and raster-based program that allows you to create drawings using the Pencil tool naturally, as you would with a traditional pencil and paper. Smith Micro tweaked the existing tools and added a host of new features, including a suite of vector-graphic tools, professional color set, mesh transformation, improvements to the text capabilities, and much more.

As an animator, I’m always excited when Smith Micro announces a new version of their products, and the release of Manga Studio EX 4 is no different.
