Description NO TABLET? NO WORRIES XD


Here's a tutorial I put together for mouse coloring and lining ^^

I'm using Photoshop CS2

I broke it up into 12 general steps

The original file is done in 3200*2800 with 96 dpi

See finished pic here: [link] ^^

NOTE: I apologize that I mized up the pic for step 4) and step 5) xD. I will try to fix it in the near future!!

EDIT:
I incorporated the text into the Tut ^^

Well, I'm going to try this, but it starts to look very hard at the shadowing part. When you upload the sketch and you add a new layer, do I still have to be very steady and trace the lines exactly as the sketch?

Just try to clean up the lines a bit, that's all.

Holy frick... this technique would make me want to commit suicide by the time I got halfway through the picture. The work looks good, but damn, you'd need a LOT of patience for a picture with any complexity.

Very nice tutorial, though the full-view size could do with being a bit bigger, the text is quite small. It's always nice to see how an artist reaches their end result, thanks for sharing

My pen tool fills automatically with black sections and when I right click, the 'stroke path' selection is grayed out v.v

PenthesileiaRavyn [2007-12-11 06:20:25 +0000 UTC]

You did that.... With a MOUSE?!

I'm so jealous. DX That takes a lot of talent. Is that how you do all your work?

Thank you! ><

This: [link] was my last 100% mouse drawing xD
So everything before that, including that one, is drawn solely with the mouse.
I still do lining with the mouse though ; guess I've gotten really used to it xP
However, I use tablet for coloring, shading, and sketching now ><
