    One: What program do you use to draw normal work or manga? I just draw using regular pencil and paper, ink it, erase the pencil marks, then scan it into the computer.
    Two:What program do you use to color? I use ms paint and hp image zone! I don't have fancy things like photoshop...
    Three:Is there a website or instructional manual I can use to learn how to work such programs? I'm sure anyone knows how to use ms paint, but I personally know the ways. Hp image zone is pretty simple, easy to navigate, maybe I'll make a tutorial.
    Four:How much did you pay to get program? If free where can I get it,and will it harm my computer? It came free on my computer
    Five:The drawing pad for the computer,where did you get it,and at what price? I don't have a drawing pad for my computer, like I said, I use the old-fashioned ink on paper method :D
    Six:Tell me all you know about program and how it works for you so far,any recomendation will be highly appreciated! Hp image zone is pretty simple:
    after I scan and crop the image, I open it up with hp image zone. I darken the exposure and lighten then contrast; this way my lines will be as clear as possible for the next step.
    Next I use the lithogram tool? It turns my lineart solid black and white, absolutely no grays. This way I can dump paint into specific areas using ms paint.
    Once I'm done coloring, I open up hp image zone again and blur the image to dull the pixilization. Using ms paint, the sketch scew tool, I shrink the image down to size and submit it on theO.

    I hope this helps

    One of my friends use another program called "Manga Studio",looks be a good resource for who want draw a manga as you,Luna-chan!~ [I read on internet that the professional version is better...]
    Anyway,the two programs are great for draw and make manga!~

    But I'm really sorry...I don't can help you about tutorials,because I also don't know use both programs!XD
    Well,I'm sure on internet you can find so many things and learn to use it!^_^

    Unfortunately,my brother did not have the PaintTool SAI link[He missed it...=_=],but he assured me that he found it easily on internet!^_^
