I'm adding colour to the black like by hitting the button I have circled in the 6th panel in red. (on the line art layer) then just pick a colour and it will only colour the line art.
as for your pen took, check your settings, other than that I can't help much cuz I'm not quite sure what you mean

Do you use the paint bucket to colour the spaces? Or the pen tool?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
sometimes both, I usually fill the majority of it if I can with the bucket, and then go around with the pen for touch ups

Thanks!
On what layer do you use the bucket?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
On the Lineart layer, I select an area with the wand tool. Then I go to the colour layer and fill it in on there.

If only my photoshop had a damned pen tool!

pen tool is the same as a brush tool. every photoshop has one
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it is?
huh, I was under the impression that the pen tool was a little cleaner than a brush tool. ah well
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you can change whether it's a fuzzy brush or clean line brush at the top under the sizing

How did you go from black and white line art to colored line art?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the white is it's own layer underneath the line art.
If I turn the white off, I get the checkered "non" bg, and just the line art. (in photoshop.) Looking at the tutorial, there's the part where I show which lock needs to be on. when you lock that line art layer with the left lock, (circled) you can then take the paintbrush and paint over the lines and JUST the lines will colour.
Does that make sense?

I just tried that and it didn't work.
I followed it exactly.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmmm..
you're sure your line art isn't on a white bg? make sure you lock the transparency on the line art layer..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup.
It's on a layer all it's own, above the white background and below the color layer.
I've locked the right layers but how do you lock the transparency on the line art layer?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thats the button I have circled

I really wish I could help you

What setting should there be?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
opacity should be at 100%...I really don't know what to tell ya, maybe take a screen shot, post it, and I can see for myself which settings you have?

So show me where I went down hill.

ok, so it's hard to see, but do you have your "Colour Line art layer" separate from your "line art layer"? because they should be the same thing.
are you able to turn off every layer and just show me your line art layer?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes I do.
Really? According to your tutorial they're supposed to be on two different layers.
The line art layer is the layer on the very top.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No no, the Line art is on one, the Colour layer is the actual colouring layer, not colouring the line art, but the actual picture..
So you have your Line art layer, which you colour the line art on
and then you have your colouring layer, which is for after you've coloured the line art, to colour the actual pic.
make sense?
