New from WACOM. Via http://www.wacom.eu/manga/
The Favo Comic Pack from Wacom is the solution for anyone who would like to draw mangas digitally. Pen and tablet, in cool white, ensure a natural drawing experience.

Thanks to its sensitivity to pressure, the pen reacts just like coloured pencils and markers. Firmer pressure on the pen produces thicker lines, whereas lighter pressure allows thinner lines, thus resulting in entirely natural line control.

Two software programs are included in the pack: Manga Studio Debut 3.0 is the leading manga software. It comprises considerable special effects, screen tones and features, which can be used to draw professional-looking mangas in black and white.

With Painter Essentials 2, the drawings can be quickly and simply coloured. Both programs feature a large selection of pens and brushes.

Being based here in Liverpool we are lucky to able to visit the Walker Art Gallery during the Biennial and see this great bit of interactive animation by Airside with music by Fred Deakin of Lemon Jelly.
There is a copy of the promo video with the latest issue of Computer Arts (129, November 2006) or you can just watch it here
