so i'm brand new at scanlation
but i've done some random practice in trying to redraw some raw manga pages
also does redrawing fall under the cleaner position?
thanks much xD

Well you can become a redrawer and/or a cleaner. It's up to you. Cleaning is using filters and photoshop tool to take magazine pages and turn them neat. Redrawing is modifying the art work to either erase some japanese text or glue two pages together into a single image without the readers being able to notice it. None is easier than the other. But we can train you in both !

oh werd?
then i'll start with redrawing and then move on to cleaning.
where do i get started to learn and stuff?

you can have the cleanign stuff here,

@B, let this guy experience hell. :DD haha kidding. ^^

haha that's a joke ^^

well you better practice a lot cause that guy is a redrawing maniac.

i mean should i send in some works i've done to the ducky guy? to see how much he has to teach me?

well you could post here some attempt of your work. just put here the raw and the redraws, upload it to imageshack and post the direct link here. ^^

pretty much he would check it, then he would give you an appropriate test base on your skills.

Hmm not bad at the creation part, but a redrawer hardly does that. I'll show you some examples of my work.

there you go. i removed the sfx from the airship
you can tell where i worked in some places xD

it's a good try but redrawers doesn't want their work to be noticeable,
try to make it not exactly like this but a close one,

well, i respond here since the duck was so busy.

Yup, you don't want people noticing were you've worked at all, Heid has a good example there (thanx man, won't have to do it myself :p).

Keep praticing, don't be afraid to zoom in when you work. Post your other tries.
