Description
For starters I apologize for the crappy quality of this. It had been resaved a few times and I've since lost the original PSD image. -___-Furthermore I am aware there are other ways to do this. This is the way I prefer to do ^^ It literally takes like 10 seconds so its good enough for me.
Hope it helps someone

Interestinnnnnng o.o;
I actually....really suck at finding out ways to do super simple things on photoshop XD; And so, I didn't know how to do this. Though it would have made my art final sooo much simpler. Probably.
I tried out this tutorial just now, and it did do some weird things to some of the really thin lines, but other than that, I think I'll keep doing this >x>

I love your linearts.
I seriously think you need to make a line art tut, cuz I can never get mine to look as clean as yours.

well I wouldn't know where to begin. Since the only rhyme and reason behind my lineart is I ink at ridiculous high resolutions and then zoom in to like 2 or 300 percent. And I do my lines in quick fluid motions. Also I dont know if you know anything about painting but they encourage you do your strokes by moving your arm not your wrist. I ink similar. Most of the movement comes in my entire arm.

I see....I'll have to keep that in mind. Thanks!

That's similar to the technique I use to get my outlines seperated. ^^
The "colouring" technique might come in handy.

<3 Well I only use this when I dont ink on puter

Haha, just glad you posted the masking way to isolate lineart. Always a MUCH better way to do so. Cleaner and less of a hassle. (Of course, I have mine set as an action so I only ever need to just click and go. ^_~ )

I think the final product here works nicer than the RGB method. I've tried both and seeing as how I'm anal I think this is more true to the original lineart when its finished

I don't think I ever used the RGB method! O_O I was looking over the tutorial again and realized I never see anyone use the technique I learned years ago. In the end, you stimulated me to upload the tutorial I made back in 2005! (First tutorial I ever made and apparently I never uploaded it to DA? lol!)
Anywho, if you're curious, here's mah link: [link]
