I'm glad its helped!
Umm, well usually whatever it is you want to blur, you make a duplicated layer blur it then play around the layer attribute (multiply, soft light etc) until you get your desired effect, unless you just wanted to blur something directly.

P.S:Are u doing linart in Photoshop?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no I do lineart in easy paint tool sai, because it has better control. But it's totally fine to do it in photoshop, you just need to be more patient

what do i do if when i click on "layers" i have only 1 option? i have "backgrounds"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmm can you explain in more detail you problem?
you can make new layers, by clicking the icon that looks like a piece of paper i believe.

aw.. ok.. i clicked on it.. and i have now "background"
"layer 1"
"layer 2" and so...
what do i do now? xD
i suck at photo shop... TT^TT
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
...Ah, I know your problem.
You see, to keep their works clean when artists line art, they draw the lines of different parts on different layers so that they can color/shade easily without having to clean the outside of the lines.
All you have to is make new layers every time you line art (e.g. one layer for hair, another for skin, eyes etc.) C:
When you are done with that, you should click the eye beside the "Background" layer, if that is where your sketch is.
Hope that helps.

how do you do your lines computer or traditional? and if computer can you give me a tip how ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
my lines were done on computer xd, although i love the raw-ness of traditional lines >_>
i just inked in SAI with a 1pt size brush, if you don't have SAI, opencanvas works well too the pen tool....tips ..hmm
do you work with a tablet or mouse?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
tablet!!!! XD and photoshop 7 TT___TT my CS died of unknown causes!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol i prefer photoshop 7 over the new CS versions actually...hmm if you ink on PS, the lines are harder to get smooth..but not by much its patienceif you have the patience you can do anything, alot of ppl ink on photoshop to get that traditional manga inking effect, more rough and organic, just remmeber to work on a higher resolution if you want the piece to be high quality 400dpi or more
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmmmm ok so what canvas size do you recomend?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
canvas size? uum i think most manga have a set size, sorry for the late reply, i think it was a B5 size?...or was it A5....i can't remember xD;;

Thank you XD How did you get your lineart so thin?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
so thin?? x_x hmmm i dont do anything special i use a 1 pt line when inking, just the default
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahhh, right 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xD no, but i do feel that inking at 1pt is very tedious...cause the resolution of cg's are often so high TAT;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Couldn't you use sai or Open canvas to do that? 
Lineart results are much better

(: looove it~ using it when i finally decide to stop being lazy and cg something for once
