Uhm... I don't know about the similarity, but don't these two look the same?

[link]

Sorry >_< It's just that I'm a fan of Bayonetta and I was looking through google pictures and that pic popped up, and then I saw this. It's sorta the same. >_<

Don't kill me. ;_;

You can check the work where the lineart is from... [link]

Btw, i love Bayonetta too

Well, really the angle seems pretty the same... but if you give a look at the date iΒ΄ve posted this, Bayonnetta probably was only on the mind of Kamiya

How ironic, a tracing thief posting a tutorial explaining how to trace... Is that how you rip off all those Shunya Yamashita pics?

ZOMG! I've tried a lot of different inking techniques in Photoshop & this has to be the best.

Not only are the lines super easy to adjust to perfection with the pen tool (you gave me a reason to use it! THANKS!); now I get that gorgeous pen pressure look that mimics inking with a tablet.

You have just given me the power to jump mountains. My humblest thanks!

Hey, nice tutorial!
I just wonder why you strike the path two times ?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

arcanux In reply to DivynRapass [2007-06-22 18:25:59 +0000 UTC]

if u strike only once with the "simulate pressure" on, parts of the larger lines become invisible....the other layer wit no "simulated pressure" is to stroke the parts that the other don't.

arcanux In reply to Zhone14 [2007-06-19 14:48:56 +0000 UTC]

Hola !
arcanux tu nuevo avatar me gusta mucho!

*Gracias por este tuto, ya q siempre e intentado y buscado un metodo q me diera lineas limpias y uniformes.
Lo malo es q con la herramienta pen tool batallo @_@

Usas la tableta digital cuando dibujas con la pen tool?
o usas el raton (mouse)ΒΏ?
