Shaboodles all, ~Hippiechick144 asked me about what tools I used to make my squiggle comics. To answer the question for her and for any of you who were curious about that as well,

I mainly use Easy Paint Tool Sai and Adobe Photoshop 7.0/CS3 to make my comics. I draw all the squiggly illustrations in Sai using an awesome premade ink tool that I discovered from some kind deviant here on the site who was nice enough to share their Sai settings and then the paneling, text and finishing touches are tied up in Photoshop.

And that's basically it. I mainly use this ink tool to do all my drawings with the same settings that I presented here. I might sometimes use the Airbrush tool and the blur tool for blending but other than that, I mainly use that tool.

So there you go kiddies, hope I helped you out in any way :iconHippechick144:

Hello. apologies for late response.
Umm, unfortunately I don't have a download link for the pen but would you like it if I made a tutorial on how to make the pen for yourself using the regular sai brushes, it's actually quite easy to make.
Would that be ok with you?

of course that would be okay! in fact that would be awesome. Lately I've been experimenting with new brushes and techniques so this would be a perfect opportunity for me to get advice from an expert! If you could, do you think you could let me know when your tutorial is done or even send me a link? that would be totally amazing! Thank you!!!!! :)

Expert?! Me! O/////o The fudge...ljazkmsj. Really? You think I'm an expert.
Oh sweetie, I'm hardly an expert but thank you so much. And sure I will. If you want, you can devwatch me because I might either post the tutorial as a video for my tube or one my page. All in all, I'll see what I can do :3

Wow thank you so much again O///o That really means a lot for me to hear. Thank you.
And yes, I checked and you are indeed devwatching me so good and thank you for the devwatch :D
And sure no problem :) Here is my Youtube channel.
It's not much but I have a few process speedpaint videos up there and my final film animation if you interest :D. Here it is [link]

Also, regarding the tutorial, I know you said you just wanted to learn how to "make" the brush that I use for my squiggle comics but is there anything else you'd like for me to add to the tutorial or at least touch on?

okay.. ill make sure to keep an eye out for any new videos. in regards to the tutorial, it would be nice if you showed different brushes with different programs. I usually use sai, but im also looking into programs such as open canvas or photoshop. you could also add in some tips or even insight into how you draw or what guidelines you use (if any) Again thank you so much this is really helpful!

Oh okay. Well like you, Paint Tool Sai is my main digital art program. All the drawings I've done now in and in the past have all been done in Sai and I've only really used photoshop mostly to add text really. And I have worked in OC and still learning how to use it more efficiently for sketching.
Just thought I should let you know that. But I'll see what I can do. Mind you, I'm not very good at explaining things something but I will try my best.

Indeed it is. I drew that pic for something else but it didn't work out so I used it for this instead. At least I found a good use for it :D
