Photoshop elements 6.0? I currently have Photoshop elements 9.0 It seems amazing things can be done there as well I just need to learn. Your art is amazing! How do you keep it so clean? ^ u ^

Oh! Thank you!
It just took me practice. It is kinda hard to find tutorials for Photoshop elements programs, but I kinda picked a few things up from certain tutorials and somewhat developed my own process. I have some other programs that are probably way better, but I find it really difficult to learn and figure out, so I usually stick with PS Elements 6.0.
What I basically do to get a clean look is I sketch it first, then on another layer I outline it. I usually have to redo a single line several times before I get it just right. I then make several separate layers for the coloring. I sometimes shade it in a separate single layer, but I sometimes shade in the same color layer. It all really depends on what I feel like doing. It just takes a lot of experimenting to really find out your coloring technique.
It also helps to have the size of the image to be really big. Then when you finish, you resize it to a really small image. I rarely do that though. My laptop is really old so I don't really want to push it too far. I also like to save it as a PNG. I just personally like it a lot more than a JPEG.
I hope that helped!
I wish you luck!

It really helped me a lot! I was very inspired by your work! In Gaia and in deviantart I actually found you deviant art first before I saw you in Gaia. I go by the name of IIFondle, well my younger sister gave it to me a year ago and I don't really go anywhere there but forums. I'm usually at the art freebies to give free art and trying to get better in digital art, and looking for the right style for me. Anyways thank you so much! I will surely draw you once I get better.

Is this considered your cartoon or retro style?

Retro.
I know. This one is a bit confusing because it lines, but it is because of the bigger head and smaller body that it is retro.

I did everything on Photoshop Elements 6.0 on my Wacam Bamboo Tablet.

I just made the image really big, and then resized it smaller.

ah i see. if you don't mind me asking, how large a canvas do you start doing your lines at?

This peice was started at 2500x2500 pixels.
Then I resized it and cropped it.
I don't always use this technique.
