Wacom Intuous 4.
Não te aconselho essa
As da Wacom são MUITO melhores que qualquer outra marca, mesmo que seja das mais baratas (Bamboo ou assim).

a sério, vi vários sites e aconselham... , mas vou rever, obrigado pelo conselho

Bem.. Pode já ter mudado entretanto
É que antes de começar a usar tablets da Wacom tive 2 de outras marcas, e eram quase tão más como desenhar com o rato x_x Quando mudei para a Wacom notei uma diferença enorme. Conheço outras pessoas que passaram pelo mesmo. Mas entretanto se calhar já há outras marcas com tablets de jeito

já tomei em consideração.
realmente há mais baratas da Wacom, é pena é ser mais pequena do que a que eu tinha escolhido previamente, mas visto k estamos em tempos de crise e tu recomendas eu já mudei de opinião..!
Mas depois vê-se, até ao Natal ainda faz tempo.

Oh my.. Hm... certain tools have a anti-alias check box at the top of the screen when they are selected. Also, the pencil tool doesn't use anti-alias, but the brush tool does. But what I was trying to explain was something a bit different. I'll try to make a more detailed tutorial about that and other things when I have time! Sorry, it's really hard to explain like this

i've got a question. ok i see u began by making the lines, in the sketch do u clean all the inside? i mean all the lines stripes and circles? or u leave it that way and scan it like that? i was doing a sketch yesterday but i didn't know wheter to leave it clean or just as it ends. it took me about 2 hours only to make the eyes nose and mouth

In this case, because it was 100% digital, I used different layers, so I could simply hide the layers I didn't need anymore.
On paper, usually I make the sketch and them either scan it and ink digitally, or I use a light box to put another sheet of paper over the sketch and ink.
Another option is to use a blue pencil to do the sketch and a black pen for the inking. Some scanners will make the blue almost disappear, if not you can go to image > adjustments > replace color, choose the color you used and increase the lightness to turn it in to white and make it disappear. There are other filters and techniques that do a similar effect too. You can play with the channels, for example, but that's harder to understand how they work.
I hope this helps!

I didn't know that it was actually true that it was hard for someone to draw the faces facing the hand that they draw with..
I always just thought I couldn't draw faces that way. I guess I need to practice. Thank you for such loveliness :3 !!!!
This really helped! A whole hell of a lot :3

Wow! This is so amazing! So much help! One question though.
I use a mouse. Is there a way I can still make the line art look like I have pen sencitivity or make it change sizes like it does with a tablet! I have a hard time drawing with tablets.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Sorry I took so long to notice this comment! x_x
You can try to make your lineart in vectors
But it takes longer than drawing with a tablet

Ha ha, sorry to for hogging answers
If you have PS CS2+ (this I know for sure, unsure about earlier versions) you can use the pen tool. After you've made your 'path' you right click to draw out the path. When it gives you the prompt for brush size, etc. at the bottom there will be a check box to simulate pressure. So, in an area where there is a strong curve the line will be thicker and vice versa.
From what I understand thats the best you can do without a tablet. But I'm still a PS n00b so you might be able to find something I missed
I hope this tutorial will help explain better than I ever could >.<

Very nice tutorial!
I do have a question, though, you said that you used no anti-aliasing to help you fill the colors, how did you get it back to being anti-aliased?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
When you scale down an image in Photoshop, it automatically becomes anti-aliased

Just skimmed a little of it but I think this will really help me! I'll definitely be back to finish reading it!
Congrats on the Daily Deviation. c:
