Skip to contentThis is the first comic I've drawn with my new Samsung Galaxy Note 8. After trying pretty much every drawing app for Android there is, I finally settled with Sketchbook Pro. Since it doesn't have all the features I'm looking for I still do a lot of work with Photoshop afterwards, but if you know a better app, let me know.I figured I'd show the process for making this one. Here's the original:
I didn't quite equate with the 8-inch screen how it'd appear on my desktop, so the lines came out a little thick. It looks the same way I usually draw my comics, but shortly after this I thought, "I have a pressure-sensitive pen...let's use it!"This was the next rough.
Here's the finished product on the tablet:
And this is after some Photoshop work.
Finally, you've already seen the final comic. My goal was to make it look fresh without departing too much from my style. How do you guys feel about digital Picpak? Let me know in the comments!

Love it. Digital is the future, might as well start now. I went all digital a while back and love it.

Looks great Kim! 😀 When I first looked at today’s comic, I wondered if this was a guest strip. Not in a bad way, just in a “Something looks different” way. Keep it up! Hopefully going 100% digital will work to your advantage. I know it did for me. (Since I don’t have a desk big enough to draw on…)

Looks good. Just enough “change” to make it interesting without looking the original feel. I’m not a 100% digital guy. For myself like the ability and feel of drawing on a piece of Bristol and having the physical art in the end. The only digital I do is my color work. Maybe someday I’ll make the conversion when I can afford a Cintique.

It’s gonna be weird not having a pile of paper under the printer, I tell ya. Thank you for all your comments!

I thought the ipad was going to revolutionize how I drew but I can’t stand the difference between where I put the pen and where it shows on screen.
