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

OMG! Great tutorial! One thing though, im not sure what you do in the step where the lineart has a transparent bg, do you still use the pencil lines, or go over them with the pen? >w< thanks !

Ooohh It was interesting to learn about a special type of anatomy that you use~! OwO

and everyone seems to scan in in a really high dpi....sigh... I might catch on this trend one day.....

airmi In reply to kimicatdemon [2008-09-22 16:32:08 +0000 UTC]

ohhh 300dpi will do@_@

GandoTheBard In reply to airmi [2008-09-23 12:14:53 +0000 UTC]

300 dpi is great for printing but I dont get how that helps on a normal monitor. Monitors in general cant distinguish between anything over 100dpi as I understand them. Can you explain? (btw great tutorial, I knew some of this before hand but havent practiced it much, it is good to get reminders.)

PS: Your english seems great.

airmi In reply to GandoTheBard [2008-09-23 13:16:55 +0000 UTC]

you are partly right @_@
but as this picture will be printed, 300dpi is the minimum resolution

PS thank you>O< great that you can understand
