What you need for this book
To use this book, you will need Manga Studio 5. Either the EX or the regular version will work. If you do not have EX 5 then some of the recipes in the first chapter and one recipe in the final chapter will not be accessible to you: specifically the recipes about making or exporting multiple page files.
You will also find it easiest to use this book with a drawing tablet of some sort. There are many brands and styles, from ones that replace your mouse with a pen and board that you draw on, to monitors that display your work and allow you to make changes on-screen, just like drawing with pencil and paper. The first type, without a display in it, is the cheapest type and is usually best for a beginner to digital art. The most popular brand of tablets is Wacom, but there are many others out there.
