When Meryll won her free copy of Manga Studio Debut during our drawing contest last month I couldn’t wait to see a first result. Because her winning artwork was drawn in pastels I had no clue what to expect. Are you as curious as I am? Let’s have a look at her video:
Meryll told me that it wasn’t easy for her at all to make the step to digital drawing.
This is exactly what my first thought was when I was starting out with Manga Studio. And it wasn’t just a thought. I remember that I said to my friend Pedro one night at the bar: ‘This will not work. I just can’t get used to this way of hand-eye-coordination. Staring at the screen whilst drawing on a tablet.’
I came over it very fast and as you can see in the video above, Meryll came over it whilst being in the creative process. She said that she don’t like her first drawing and I think we all have to disagree with her. I think she did a very good job here. What do you think? Leave your comment below.
Mario, it’s actually “Meryll”. Hehe. Just telling…
My apologize for that Meryll! I’m really ashamed.
I corrected it
no, it’s fine. Not really a big deal. Many people spell my name wrong. Hehe! My name has a weird spelling, I guess.

I was already glad not to found any mistakes in the post and then I overlooked the wrong spelling of your name. In one way or the other I guess it has to do with the thought that I knew two characters where double, so I took the ‘r’ instead of the ‘l’.
My art teacher does that too. Hehe! But thanks for correcting it.
Ah! This is beautiful! I’m glad Meryll won instead of me, because I can’t draw that well now!!
P.s. How do you and Meryll record videos of drawings like this?
P.P.S. I’m utterly confused by Manga Studio Debut. I tried using it a few days ago and I had no idea how to add color. Lol.
Hi Nikki!

I totally agree with you! I was so confused too.
I had to watch video tutorials while I was sketching.
(I clicked the Change Layer Type then I changed the Color Model into Color (32 bits) and I used the Marker instead of the Airbrush.) It was really frustrating in the beginning coz the color becomes transparent.
And about the recorder, you can google Camstudio and download it. It’s a freeware so you won’t need to worry about paying something. That’s what I used.
You don’t need to change the layer type. Just create a new color layer, put it under the layer where’s your line work on and you can color you artwork without affecting the line work.
BTW: I use Camtasia for the screen recording. This is not a free software.
Thanks Meryll and Mario for the help!
