Well in some ways its easier than it was when i first started since I used to do everything from panels to speed-lines by hand when I started doing this originally. I use a combo of PS CS5 and Manga Studio EX4 now and that part makes it easier over all. The thing it's taking some getting use to is the amount of time my rust forces me to have to spend on each little part of my work now. Thankfully it isn't as bad as it was when I did some character work earlier in the year.
Those took me about a week just to sketch out. The panel penciling is going much faster this time, if not as fast as what I would like it to be. Still its nice to actually be putting pencil to paper (even if it is virtual) and getting something done. It's also nice to be able to skip a bit of story-boarding that I had to do in the past on paper and just get straight into the meat of the work. If I don't like how its going I can just start a new one or delete the old. I find myself also planning further ahead than I used to on paper.
I suppose I'll get better at speaking about this process as I continue working and perhaps I'll even give a bit of insight into the inspirations I draw from that have brought me to this point.
