Description
I promised I would make a tutorial. I'm horrible at explaining things, so I think I ended up over compensating and explaining too much, if that makes since. God I'm so afraid this thing won't make any sense to anyone but me. Oh well, what's done is done. I hope this helps everyone who wants to know how I do my line art. Comment here if you have questions/comments/concerns
Full view to see the tutorial. It's a huge picture, so beware!

You did not misunderstand, photoshop is indeed very very expensive

...what currency are you talking about??........

US dollars. I'm looking here [link] at the current price for Adobe Photoshop CS4, which is the latest version. I assume older versions would be cheaper if you can find them. I have photoshop 7

Thank you for this tutorial. I find the pen tool severely annoying, but this looks to be an easy to understand tutorial on how to properly use it.

I find the lines looking better when you don't use the stimulate pressure. 
Nice tut, though.

Hi begger... this is a great tutorial. For a long time I used PS to line as well. I use SAI now but my affinity for PS-lining has never gone away. This is, in fact, exactly how I used to do it.
I can solve your problem with not being able to find a specific line amongst many. If you click the 'move' tool, the one with the four-way arrow and the little triangle... it's the button on the utmost row, top right, of the toolbar.
You *right* click on the line itself and it should show you what layer it is. If it's on top of a bunch of layers though, it'll show you all those layers. So you might want to hide as many layers as you can.
Just a trick I use!

i have a question 'bout line art.... is there any reason why the stimulate pressure wouldn't work? 'cuz all i get it a regular line.... ;(

Are you using a tablet with photoshop?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i have a tablet but the pressure thing isn't working (I have to reinstall the software again)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Have you tried a different USB route (Reinstalling it might be best anyways)?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
but i thought the pen pressure for line art didn't need a tablet?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not sure what program your using if you don't require a tablet for pen pressure. Pen pressure is activated by sensors in the tablet and the pen, there is no way you can use pen pressure without a tablet - that doesn't mean that there isn't some other way of mimicking pen pressure or thinning out lines.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
but theres the check box for 'stimulate pressure' for the work path and it should work whether or not i have a tablet with pen pressure.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Huh, that's strange. What program are you using?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that's the tablet pressure button you're working with then. It won't work unless you attach the tablet.

oh....... well i'll install the software and try it then ;]

All this would help me if i knew where is my pen tool option, i own photoshop 6 and photoshop 8, if photoshop 7 has the pen tool option, why neither of my programs have this option?!

when i right click with the brush on; I only get the brush seletions... not "stroke"
