Newtypecontains a tip column for working withcomputer graphicsinmanga-style illustration, written by a different guest illustrator (or group of illustrators, in some cases) each month. The column generally centers around working withAdobe PhotoshopandCorel Painter.

In the Japanese version (and in the early months of the American version), the last page ofNewtypeis usually reserved for one of a series of art pieces or illustrations (accompanied by comment or short column) from a known anime illustrator. Perhaps the best known of these is the "GUNDAM FIX" illustration series byHajime Katoki,which placedmechafrom theGundamfranchise within real-world photographic contexts.
