Description If the image does not come out right, go back and then foward on the net. It should straighten out.

Woah, What a piece of crap!

I guess I made a few mistakes and errors. So lets get rid of all this crap. not my crap though, we want to keep that crap.

I usually now like to start off with red pencils to do sketches as you will see they are easy to clean up.

1.) Draw out a sketch in a red pencil.

2.) Do the final pencils/ink or what ever it is you stop at, and scan it in at 300 dpi or higher and in color, no grey scales, sorry for some it may take longer but it's worth it.

3.) Now go to your layer palette and click on the effects button. go to " hue/saturation". A window will pop up giving you some color changing options. Go to the "master" setting option and change it to "RED". Now you can change and affect only red!

4.) Move the control bar for the lighting all the way to the right. Bingo, all the red sketches are gone. Though there are still some smugges and dents made by me still there. NO problem.

5.) Go back to the "effects" button located on the bottom of your layer palette and now select "LEVELS".

6.) A graph will pop up giving you the option of controling the amount of light colors, medium colors, and dark colors. In this case you'll have control over the amount black, grey, white. Try moving the controls around until you are satisfied with the image.

(the higher the grapgh the more of the section there is in the piece. white being the most it is the highest.)

7.) after that use the brush tool to get rid of any left over smugges/anything else that bugs you.

and there you have it. a nice and neat poorly drawn head shot by me.

Handy use of the layers palette - I love things that are as efficient as this. Will be keeping this in mind for future sketches!

I usually like to do tutorials that way where it's really all visual learning. Simple and easy to understand without the need of an explanation in text. But it is there in the description just in case.

and It doesn't fill up the image with too much text either ^^

skatermonkey [2003-09-23 07:13:42 +0000 UTC]

Dan, is there any advantage to using the button in the layer pallete which makes an adjustment layer rathen than doing the same thing by going to image> adjustments where no adjusmtent layer is created? Is the adjustment layer handy to have?

danimation2001 In reply to skatermonkey [2003-09-23 13:26:30 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah definitely. You can actually brush out areas that you would not like to be affected by the changes with the mask provided.

it's up to me I'll be jumping for freakin joy when DA is stabilized again. Thank you for sharing this trick with the rest of us.....If I ever force myself to learn how to ink with my tablet, I will most definitely use this deviation as a guide to get rid of my sketch marks.
