Description
Someone wanted me to show how I draw comics on Photoshop, so I did! (Yes, it is a Korean version)I use Photoshop CS5 but I think any Photoshop version (provided they have the tools mentioned in the tutorial) work just as well. I cannot help SAI/GIMP users much...
Please also keep in mind that if you wish to draw comics perhaps more professionally, there are better tutorials out there. This is a very very rough and simple one that I am used to.
Enjoy!

EDIT: Oh goodness...thank you for the DD ;w; I am happy this little tutorial is very helpful!
EDIT2: I have added a mini tutorial on how I do thought bubbles in this post

THe only problem is that I need a tablet to draw comics like this -___-
Otherwise it's an useful tutorial, thanks for it

You only need the tablet for the drawing steps. You still can use the other steps with a mouse
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I already tried, I even tried to draw something with mouse inside the panels - I guess I could work like that but it's slower and the quality is way worse than it would be with tablet :/ This would discouraged me in a while I'm afraid
Well, maybe I'll wish for a tablet for Christmas xD
Btw, I decided to try Nuzlocke on my Pt and I was thinking about my concrete rules. But there is still something that I don't know how other players deal with: When you play, do you use save before gym leaders, elite four, final N battle etc? And when something bad happens, do you reset and challenge again? I mean... what would you do if your whole team fainted? (Hey, is it really possible to go through the Elite Four and then defeat the Champion without using a single healing item? O_o This can be hard even with overleveled Pokemon o_o)
And one other question: If your team is full and you go to a new area do you still catch the first encounter (to store it in box) or not? And if yes, can you withdraw that Pokemon once a team member dies?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahhhh
Well, you can or save up for one?
As for the nuzlocke stuff...some people use the rule of "if you current team is wiped but you have extras in the box you can still continue." Others just assume current team wipe=game over.
I always save before an important npc battle if possible.
I have gone thru the elite four and champion without fainting. It just relies on luck and hope that all your Pokemon's moves are strong enough to 1hko/2hko without getting too much damage. (Diamond was where I did that pretty well)
And even if I have a full team, I still catch extras and box them. I sometimes swap new members into the team if necessary.

I would have the money but I'm still not sure about the tablet itself, you know ^^ So far it has been my enemy 
Ok, so you save the position and if something bad happens - or just the luck doesn't work at the moment, you reset or not?
Thanks
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahhh
I haven't reset at all...it's mostly out of habit because the HG rom I played would always freeze up during battles.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So you really always get through the elite four and champion without fainting o.o Wow, you must be pretty lucky. And your Pokemon are the same lvl like opponets or you train them hard to be overleveled and have more chances?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For Diamond, I was underlevel. For White, not so much.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xD Then what's your secret recipe for winning without a single heal? o___o I don't get that. I really don't consider that possible o.o
Well, ok, in BW it could happen because the guys there are pretty easy and no Champion follows - then you get healed before the vs. Reshi/Zek and N and then N heals you before the battle against Ghetsis, I believe that is possible. But defeating the Sinnoh Elite four and then be able to face and defeat Cynthia while underleveled... That's far beyong my imagination
(And you use held items, don't you?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
IDK, in Diamond...the only worrisome E4 was Cynthia and maybe Lucian. And I need to fix my previous statement; my team was underlevel to Lucian/Cynthia...the rest I was more or less on the same level or higher.
Aaron is a pushover and I swept with Maximus and Garchomp took care of the Drapion.
Bertha's Pokemon are all slow and weak to grass so I swept easy with Annie. She was also a Timid nature so that helped I guess.
Flint was easy too, save for losing Killigan over paralysis and such...in DP he only has two fire Pokemon so the rest you just pick out by other type weaknesses.
Lucian has only the Alakazam that can be a nuisance but the AI apparently was not smart enough to do a thunderbolt when I sent out Maximus. And the rest was an easy sweep. (Gohan is a good Bronzong counter)
As for Cynthia...I just hit hard and fast and surprisingly my team just outsped almost everyone except her Garchomp. And I had some luck with the giga impact missing so I was pleased.

Wait, the nature somehow affects you during the fight? If you didn't mean that it generally boosted the cretain stat of course
Ok, well - I'll have to try it no matter what. That'll be something xD
Btw, has it ever happened to you that your Pokemon was poisoned and the poison faded away? Because yeah, I start playing Nuzlocke, Venice gets poisoned at a really low HP and though I'm still in a city, the Center is quite far and I know she probably can't stay alive till I reach it. But I'm trying of course and then boom: The poison faded away and Venice is OK with 1hp. xD Never in my life this has happened but for the first time when I really need it... That's some luck
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well nature can help you with stats, is all.
Actually in gen 4 psn only affects down to 1hp but I decided to count that as a faint just to make the challenge harder.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Long life the BW poison system xD
Well, once you have Fly the poison risk lowers. I personally don't use items like potion etc. but my rules allow me to use berries. Well, it seems somehow natural - and for the first time I actually work with berries... or maybe I should say 'gonna work' as I'm only in Eterna City.
So, if you counted the poison faded message as a dead Pokemon and you didn't use any items then every poisoned Pokemon till getting fly died, didn't they? o.o Because the center is usually further than neccessary
Damn, I really miss the tablet more and more xD I'm imagining the story scenes and I can't put them anywhere :/ Well, at least a good training. I shall start my own comics with the upcomming remakes or Grey, depends what comes first
Btw, which Pokemon loss were the most painful for you? I already lost four Pokemon but none of them had been with me for a long time so it didn't hurt that much.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah yes. I removed that rule when I realized BW psn status was different from gen4.
Of course, I used the fly option quite often in Diamond when I got the HM use. In Fantina however, Natalie died even before I could go outside to fly.
Ahhh well ;w;
As for Pokemon losses, the worst probably was in White. I cannot say which.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, damn, never was the poison status so depriving XD
Yeah, of course - I'll wait for the answer... well, with a prepared handkerchief :/
I must admit there is something very exciting about this Nuzlocke. I guess it must be even better when you're making the comics at the same time (Were you taking some kind of notes during the gameplay? I guess you were~ 
I think that's actually why I like N. It's the first character that ever got the attention many of the ingame characters deserve. He actualy has a real STORY O_O. I think it was time for the creators to realize that... wow, maybe the huge fandom is not so excited only because of the monsters... Now I hope the things will get better ^^ Take this N, he already got FOUR Sugiomori's pictures and I'm not counting the very first basic official one. And I'm pretty sure the number will raise. Perhaps we'll live to see real official and well-made figures ˘w˘ (Have you seen the N Mugs artwork by the way? That's something~ ♥)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha yes.
And hmmmm, I will keep the tissues handy in case...
I do take notes and then build up my comic from them. I also plan characters out that way.
Well the game I guess wants the player to fill in the lines I suppose. Who knows.
As for N, I agree. It is a very fascinating character (whether you like him or not) that the game has rightfully gotten right. I think I saw those official pics too. The Zekrom/Reshiram cuts are the best.
...what is N mug?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think there is something wrong with me xD My Pokemon in PT are dying no matter what I do xD Maybe I'm just unlucky with cathing Pokemon without any useful move and while training some accident happens but it pisses me off XD I went to the cave where Gible are hoping I might meet one. I did and it was a femal - YAY great! I sent my BELOVED Budew Danny and he lowered her HP just as I needed and then she killed him with the stupid always 50hp hit dragon rage :_: And today my other Beloved Pokemom, Bibarel Arnold died by a DAMN Geodude's Selfdestruct when saving a Gligar Cherryl .__. They should ban these attacks xD That's not fair xD I couldn'd release Danny and Arnold - I had to keep those two in a Dead box :_:
Yeah, N is finally someone. Well, the problem is that the fandom will request at least the same quality of upcomming games including a GOOD but not just a copied character. I wonder what will they come out with o.o
I mean mugs with those pictures you are probably talking off. I tried to find photos of them but they are all sold out now so the only photos I could find was those I saved before and put on my blog - but there is everything you need to see about the mugs. Well, I can only say the jewell box is as wonderful as the mug ^^ I got myself the black one: [link]
They are both awesome but I think N is way more badass and epic on the black one. N on the white one seems somehow... too creepy to me

Actually, I am not at all surprised; Platinum game mechanics is much harder than Diamond/Pearl (from what I heard). And apparently the NPC trainer AIs are smarter too.
Ahhh those. I saw the art of those yes, but did not know they were mugs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wish the NPCs played Nuzlocke as well xDDD They'd hardly use Selfdestruct then xDD
But still it's weird. Because when you realize that gym leaders are there for letting their team to be killed and even give the murderer an award... well that's... simply weird
I feel better now XD Even if it's not true about Pt being harder I'll gladly live in the pink world. Because so many of them already died that I've already stopped counting

Nice! Very Helpful.
About the "fx" button is it common tool that is found in every graphic software?
Because I usually use GIMP program for cleanups of my comics cause I do comics traditionally using pens.
