Description Please bear with my not so good english and expressions =_=

You may need to get more familiar with photoshop functions to understand what I am doing. There are many good basic tutorials out there

Also, photoshop is merely a tool. To make good pictures you need skills. Practice makes perfect ^^

***********************************************

I forgot to mention a very important step when I wrote this tutorial >>> the level tool @_@!

[link]

Right after you scan the image, select the level tool from image>>adjustment>>levels. Slide the white arrow to the left for clean background and gray arrow to the right for darker lines. Then carry on with the amendments

awesome, so then ALL the steps are drawing with pencil, right? (the sketch and the "cleaning process"?)

The body proportion section was interesting. But I thought legs and arms were at equal length!

I am not good at drawing bodies, but I shall use part of this as a reference.

SilentDreamzz In reply to airmi [2008-10-11 08:22:31 +0000 UTC]

Oh, rly, wow, that's very neat. Thanx for the reply and also how do u place your pencil line art over the other layers, and have the inside transparent, cause when I open up my image on photoshop, it doesn't let me make layers under it.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

airmi In reply to SilentDreamzz [2008-10-11 09:04:59 +0000 UTC]

this is because the layer (background) is locked~
double click to change its name^^

SilentDreamzz In reply to airmi [2008-10-17 06:21:21 +0000 UTC]

so changing it's name will unlock it and enable me to bring it over other layers?
