Description Here it is, as promised.

Yes, I have a tablet. Yes, this should work with any version of Photoshop even though I used 7. Yes, I did it totally on the computer, but you can scan a sketch/ink and apply the same methods.

I think that covers everything...but probably not.

Yes, Photoshop costs money and it's pretty expensive. You can download it for free though if you don't mind pirating.

Hmmm I haven't tried it but I read it and I'm wondering... what's the significance of (if you're drawing on paper to begin with) drawing the lineart in photoshop? O-o

Especially if you're me and you don't have a tablet and colouring in photoshop is risky business because of bad wrists anyways?

celesse In reply to Chiyo-Kiestsu [2007-10-02 23:41:46 +0000 UTC]

There's no significance really, just preference. It's sometimes easier to ink something on the computer because you can totally redo or alter it if it looks bad or you mess up. With pen and paper, once you've put the line down it's down for good (since white out makes things worse). You really should do it with a tablet though, it's near impossible with a mouse.

how do you turn on the pressure pen, i did it on photoshop and i checked pen pressure in the brushes palette, but it still wont work

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

celesse In reply to maria00mirabella [2007-08-29 23:38:29 +0000 UTC]

It should be automatic. If your pen doesn't have pressure sensitivity, check your tablet settings in the control panel of your computer.

Do they have painter for Mac? ;o; I like the way you ink. The pen-tool in PS is weird o_o; I always just use paintbrush since I hate fighting with the anchor points.
