Description Photoshop Tutorial V.2

Okay, I got so sick of my old and ugly Smooth Lines tutorial, that I made a new one. (The old one will be moved to scraps soon).

Hope you like it.

Want me to upload the picture of Maggie? The one I made for this tutorial???

If you think I forgot to mention something that everybody should know and that should be added to the tutorial, note me: ~Send a note to Maggie~

I found the pen-pressure thing on my photobucket, to lazy to make another screendump XD

The sketch is ugly, and how can you show someone how you sketch? O_O Maybe using the video-thing, so you can film while you are sketching etc >D Naaaaahh, too lazy

Every version of Photoshop has Hard Round Brushes.

You don't seem to have a tablet = no pen-pressure.

You can get tapered lines by just erasing edges... so they look pointy/tapered.

You should tell everyone that this tutorial is for web-graphics only 72 DPI won't work for good quality prints - also, even if the method stays the same, working with a larger file set to 300 DPI gives different results. Avoiding shaky lines is less difficult when you work with small size files like those you're working with.

This is just exactly how I work, but instead I scan my drawings at high resolution or start with a really really big canvas instead of resizing and transform it all later and copy paste it into a new page... maybe cropping saves a little time

What I like best about this is the interface! lol
It's really clean and the little etuixtjes are adorable. It looks very clear huskie *nods*

Much love, Foshu

Copy paste in a new canvas?? I don't do that :S
I just resize it XD

The little husky is named Maggie ^__^ Etuix was my Neopets username long long long time ago XD

I just got a new tablet, and I've always wondered how you make your lines so beautiful and smooth.
