Azuma Kiyohiko hasn’t moved to digital yet
Azuma Kiyohiko reports on his blog that work on Azumanga has pretty much ended finally and he talks about how they have not switched to working digitally yet.
He talks about how when he wants to change the eyes of a character, he’ll have to use white correction ink to color it over and draw on top of it. Then if he feels that the mouth needs to be corrected too, he’ll have to erase it with the same method. Then when he starts finding more and more spots that he wants to change, the whole panel becomes filled with white correction ink. Which had actually happened.
At times like this he entirely cuts out the parts of the pages that he wants to change, and transplants a piece of paper cut in the same size onto the original page. Then he draws on the newly planted piece of paper.
He says it’s a lot of trouble and he thinks it should be about time he used a digital method for the finishing for the manga.
