Dave Gibbons on computer drawing (not computer animation)

from Guardian Technology

Gibbons uses Photoshop software on his Mac, and Manga Studio, from Japan: "It's tailor-made for doing comics: it's got some wonderful drawing tools in it. I use a Wacom Cintiq tablet, which has an LCD so you're drawing on what you're drawing, not looking away at a screen. That's my weapon of choice, now, for professional work. You can get different nibs for the pens, with different degrees of resistance. You can also swivel it round, and so on."
