mengad

Mengad is a term used to describe a genre of manga that is created using a digital medium, typically a tablet or computer. The term is a portmanteau of "manga" and "digital." Mengad is characterized by its use of digital tools for drawing, coloring, and editing, which can result in a unique style and aesthetic. These tools often allow for more precise control over line work, shading, and color, enabling artists to experiment with different techniques and styles more easily than with traditional media.

The rise of mengad can be attributed to the increasing accessibility of digital art tools and the growing popularity of digital comics and graphic novels. Mengad has gained traction in both the manga and comic communities, with many artists embracing the medium for its versatility and creative potential. However, mengad also faces criticism for potentially leading to a homogenization of styles and a loss of the tactile and physical aspects of traditional manga creation.

Despite these debates, mengad continues to evolve, with artists continually pushing the boundaries of what is possible with digital tools. It represents a significant shift in the way manga and comics are created and consumed, reflecting the broader trend towards digitalization in various creative fields.
