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.

i tried with this a while (to be honest a short while), but i cant figure some specific things like the size o'teh canvas, or the resolution, or the size, style of the brush, i guess thats why i didn see my drawings like this tut but dunno, it wierd, its getting with noise or something the line isnt the same, maybe the tablet or the size of view, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh helpmeeeeeee, i got a well method to do my drwing but it takes a loong time and almost always i stop of doing what i like because of that, ad i tried to find some faster method, but aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh, hope you can helpe me, or at least understand this hahahahaah, but please!!

>____>;;; I'm sorry, I have to be honest and say I don't understand a word you're saying. Maybe try the help forum? There's lots of people there that would help you, I'm sure.

am i that difficult to understand? wow, i'll try to say it more especific. i used to draw my character in the traditional method of illustration.
i draw on paper, scan it, fix it, and color it, but i think that process takes a really long time, and i want you to teach me some of your technics, of drawing entirely on the pc. its more about the line art thing, i have a tablet, but i dont know what is the problem that cant let me draw that kind of line, or clean line, alright?
and, well, consider this as a fancy thing, but i wish YOU could tell me about my problem, i hope so, and tnx for answer me
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm, okay, I think I understand. My tutorials detail how I do my art on the computer (I use the inking tool for sketching) but I'm not sure what's causing you to not be able to make a clean line. I use Painter for all my inking because I can get a clean stroke with it. Usually Photoshop makes the lines all jagged on me and I have to spend forever cleaning them up. Are you trying to use Photoshop to ink? That could be the problem.

oooooooooooooohhhh, greeeeaat!!!, well i'll try a bit with painter, by the way, i have the 8 version, and i tried with the tutorial and duhh!! a mess, hahaa, but tnx for being so kind i really really appreciate it.
would be ask a lot if you could check the gallery for (dunno) some critic, please??
buy only if you got the time or somethin', anyway tnx
π: 0 β©: 1
I know Painter 6 is vastly different from the other versions, but 8 should at least have the same inking tool.
And sorry, but I'm not much of a critic and don't really enjoy giving critiques.

ooh ok tnx anyway, in my Dev id, i used some painter (basic really), and the line thing, well, i guess that with practice will be easier, tnx tnx.

Can this tutorial work with PhotoShop Elements?
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't know. Never used Elements. Sorry :\

the thing tho, is how do we get rid of the litte pixels from the outline that stand out? when we color.
π: 0 β©: 1
Umm... use the pen tool and color them in by hand?

that file called "thumbs" or something, i couldnt open it. is there any important stuff in it?
π: 0 β©: 1
It's just a file Windows creates to display thumbnails in folder view. It's not important.

When I got to the shading, the layer I use to shade, for same reason, nothing shows up. Am I doing something wrong?
π: 0 β©: 1
Make sure the transparency isn't locked for that layer.
π: 0 β©: 1
So I can't use a different layer for shading?
π: 0 β©: 1
You can, just unlock the transparency so you can draw on the layer.

I was following your tutorial and I thought it was just me, but everytime I color something. it only comes out a grey tone. How do I fix the color so that is RGB? :mad:

Up in the toolbar click image > mode > RBG

This will be very helpful and has been the only turtorial so far that has made some sense

i also have a quick question for you (i forgot to ask it) when i try to select an area (such as the hair) on the first layer, it selects the whole picture, or the parts that i touched up with the pencil tool. how do i make it so i can select the area instead of the whole picture or the places i touched up
π: 0 β©: 1
You have to select it on the inking layer. The magic wand will select everything there's a "border" around, so you have to make sure there's something there to stop it from going further.

from what i've read so far, this tutorial should prove helpful for me XD great job

The existence of this really does prove those idiots' theory that God is a girl. D: Go figure.
π: 0 β©: 0
good one!
i got some new things there.
tnx

omg how did u get photo shop ?
π: 0 β©: 0
I would never use the Magic Wand like you did in 2.gif.. It will leave artifacts around the lines and it's a pain to find and fix them all.
I suggest you just create a layer underneath the line-layer, and just fill using the regular rectangle selection tool, and then erase all the excess color around
the edges of the coat. That way you won't get the artifacts
π: 0 β©: 1
But either way you're left having to comb the edges, so I don't see what difference it makes.

what a great tutorial! but one big question.. how do you ink the lineart so good? They're so straight and...
