Description
Lazily done, but there it is~ A tutorial on how to make a neat lineart in Paint.NET using a mouse. I saw a few tutorials on this, actually. But without the tapering ;3 And please don't mind the mistakes in the finished lineart (like 2 of her fingers), I didn't pay much attention to the lines... Anyways, I hope somebody finds it useful.You can download Paint.NET from www.getpaint.net

You just need to fill in the colour with the paint bucket.

Are you sure you made a new layer for the lineart? You might have drawn the lineart on the sketch layer.

nvm thats exactly wat i did. thanx 4 the tutorial it helped me alot. but, my lineart layer has the lines but no background.

For the background, make a new layer under the lineart layer and simply fill it in with a colour.

I think the traditional sketch looks awesome but when you outline it digitally, it takes away its originality and the appearence of skill.

Well, traditional and digital both have their own types of charm. Which one you like more is the matter of taste~

Ohh this is really helpful! But on mine, lots or grey and white squares come up when I put the opacity to 85. Why is that? Did I miss a step?

Maybe you were doing everything on one layer?
π: 0 β©: 1
I dont think so...I have 2 layers up right now. Im tracing over the lines with the opacity at 85, but instead of a white background, it goes to looking like several white and grey squares. Like, you know how it looks the same when you try to make a color transparent, right?

Do you have the background on the second layer filled in white? If not it's because it's transparent.

Here's a little tip: use a smaller brush size when doing the hair. It makes the hair look more...idk, wispy? At any rate, it more aptly conveys the feel of hair. It's something I think works well.

Well, for the whole lineart I used a 2px line, because 1px looks just bad... And 3px would look too bold.

I agree, and I use a 2px line for almost everything else. But for features that need to seem more delicate, I prefer to use a 1px line.

You shouldn't steal other peoples pictures for these :/
π: 0 β©: 1
It's not stolen since a gave a credit for it. I do not claim it's mine. And not only I use others' work for tutorials.
A tutorial's purporse is to help people, anyways. Not stealing somebody's work, I guess.

I just thought it would be cool if you made one with your characters because I want to see more of your art :0

At the time I made this tutorial, I couldn't use my own art since my tablet was broken and I couldn't draw anything myself.

Thanks for the help ^^
but when I deselect my sketch layer it shows the grid with the lineart instead of a blank white sheet with lineart on it.................

Umm, could you possibly take a screenshot and show it to me? Then maybe I can help.

K, I'll do that as soon as my sis lets me on the computer with paint.net on it

I was playing around in Paint.NET and actually, I accidentally figured it out. It's nothing special. But I'm glad it helps

Wow, I feel really dumb for not having that figured out earlier xD You're a livesaver!!

Wow! This has been really helpful! Thanks for doing it!

Well, that a really hard thing to explain. You have to have white set as your secondary colour. Then you have to, while holding your RIGHT mouse button make a line. Now using the anchor points set the line, so the edge of the line will looks sharp.
I hope you can understand it now, it really can't make it any clear since english's not my mother languege
