Description Well my dreaded tutorial is finally here

Many of the ppl in my previous poll wanted to know,
just HOW I get my linearts so clean while drawing, and when finished

As many of you know,
I don't lineart my pics digitally,
I CG RIGHT over the pencil line art
(Yeah....I'm lazy and I suck I know >>; )

I was planning on CGing this pic, but as I thought about it,
I don't think I will

YES SHE IS MY NEW OC!

The character's eyes came out REALLY crooked and I'm not too happy with that
So this is just a random sketch I guess XD

I hope this sketch will help some people in SOME way
I'm not too good at explaing things ^^U
Hope you enjoy and thank you for visiting me!!

---------------------

Dedicated to

P.S. YOU DON'T NEED A TABLET FOR THIS!!! ( ) I drew this all with a lead pencil....not tablet was used at all in any of this ;____;

great tutorial there martha chan!
just wondering kay
so u said u CG RIGHT over ur outline rite?
but the outline must hav been like a layer rite? a layer with the white paper too.. so if u put the CG layer under the outline layer it would hav been nothing cuz the white paper on the outline layer is blocking the entire CG layer
lol u get wat i mean?
so i was wondering how u do it to make it CG-able

Yeah, but going over the lines on the computer would be easier for me because my pen died TT______TT...

waaa even your basic sketch looks so clean! i can never be as patient as you to reoutline again and clean it up with the ERASER! >
another pretty OC of yours! waaaa, you should reconsider cg-ing it! XD

xPrincessSakurax [2006-12-02 01:39:21 +0000 UTC]

oooh ,excellent ! I'll definitely give this a shot next time!

I usually don't do my linearts in photoshop either, but I ink them by hand. Only thing is that my hand is very shaky.

Thanks for the tutorial, I'll be trying it out !

ChiquitaElena In reply to xPrincessSakurax [2006-12-02 01:40:40 +0000 UTC]

Ahhh your's to??? XDD
The main reason why I've never inked, or even TRIED to ink, is because I have a very shaky hand
It's also really hard for me to draw or use my tablet in PS when it comes to line arts because of the same problem >////<

Thank you so much for checking out my tutorial!

xPrincessSakurax In reply to ChiquitaElena [2006-12-02 01:44:23 +0000 UTC]

yeah, definitely XD

I don't have a tablet , but anyways, I think your way of doing it should work okay for me too then , considering we have similar problems XD

you're welcome of course :3

What kind of paper do you use? Printer paper is nice and smooth, but the sheets get separated and lost easily, so I use a spiral-bound Academie "sketch diary", but the roughness of the paper, however minimal, is always reflected in my pencil work.
