4. To a point where I can ink over it.
5. I ink over my pencil. Then I scan my work to Manga Studio EX by going to File →
Import → Twain. I scan my drawing in 600 DPI just like before.
6. I want my truck to pop-up from the drawing, so I use the Magic Wand tool to select 91
the background. Make sure the Close Path box is checked in the Tools Options
window (if it’s not open, go to Window → Tool Options). Then, I drag and drop a
dark screen tone in the selection. The screen tones I use frequently are found in the
Tones window. Inside the Tones window, go to Default → Basic → 1 Screen → 1
Dot → 50L. I drag and drop the tone I want into the selection. I use the Lasso tool to
select the shadow below the truck and add the tone following the same steps.

PHOTO REFERENCE: A STEP FURTHER
Of course, you don’t have to draw the same type of object that’s in the photo reference you’re
using. Instead, try using the photo as a springboard to something fantastic, just as you would
any other source of inspiration. A piece of photo reference can be a good starting point for a
brilliant piece of technology.
In this case, Yang took the same photo of the Chevy Silverado and used it to springboard
into a truck creature! It still vaguely resembles the truck, Chevrolet symbol and all, but, on
the other hand, it’s very different! The original drawing mutated into this piece of art.
Some artists even take their love of photography and use it to serve their needs as a manga
creator. Not only can photographed technology lead to artistic inspiration, but, as you’ll see
in the chapter on backgrounds, photographs of scenery are extraordinarily helpful when
constructing well-crafted background art.
Here’s how Yang created the Chevy Creature in
