I have some questions, guys. Ive been doing a lot of practice and have gotten a basic concept on some characters for a strip that I want to do online. Now, Im no pro, but Im continuing to improve daily and think I have a little talent for the drawing and the writing. I have an Intuos 4 that I am trying to get used to using with this but have no clue how to set up panels, etc in PS CS4 to draw. Do any of you draw straight to the Wacom from sketch to inking, or do you guys still do it the old fashioned way with paper and scanner? What is the industry standard for this?

Also, again, im no pro, so I have no clue where to start with the strip...Ive done some reading here and on other sites, but cant find anything that helps the non pro just wanting to get into the art form. Any advice from you guys?

Sorry if I asked stupid questions, but I want to learn.

Thanks in advance!
