I've been giving a lot of thought over the past week to how I work on comics, and what the bext way to streamline my work flow is. I don't find it comfortable bouncing back and forth between too many programs, so I'm trying to do all my layouts and page creation in Manga Studio. I din't like the lettering in MS as I can get much more control and a cleaner look from CorelDraw, but for laying out pages and having it build my Photoshop files, it's pretty nice.
I'm also contemplating how I want to arrange my folders for creating art and uploading content in Dreamweaver. It would be nice to have everything fall into the correct structure by itself, but I'm afraid of getting some of the over-bloated construction files getting uploaded.
I find I work best when I have my script completed and my layouts all sketched. When the Photoshop files are built ahead of time, then it's just plugging art in and lettering it. I've gotten lazy, and too many times sat down in front of the computer with a vague outline, and tried to force myself to make something cool. I always need to write it out and sketch layouts first.
