I'm thinking maybe you can, I used to have Paint.Net before I switched to Photoshop.
It was pretty much the same as Photoshop too. Just try it out and see.

This is amazing!! buthow did you get the lineart SO clean from the drawing? and is the drawing A4 size?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well if I do a messy drawing I tend to get a clean sheet of A4, put my original drawing under it and trace over it to get cleaner lines. When scanned in decreasing the brightness and increasing the contrast of the image helps a lot, hope this helps! and thankyou by the way! You're too kind

thnx so much! that was very, very useful! and no problem whatsoever, you are really awesome!

I would do this myself, but I'm afraid that I don't have a scanner. Would you mind terribly designing my starters in Sugi-style? I would greatly appreciate it!
They are the only current deviations that I have. Please, this would be a big help!

This guide is an absolute God-send, thank you so much for creating it ^.^ I've been working meticulously on some of my fakemons for the past few days and have been looking to get them done in a Sugimori style. However, for me it's not just about emulating that style, it's more about seeing my creations in what could only be described as that lievel of officialness, you know? Makes them seem more real, you know?
Anyways, quick question, I don't have Photoshop Elements and there is no way of getting it and am unsure of the word "opacity", is that a tool that you can only use with Photoshop Elements?
Cheers agin *mwah*

Opacity is how transparent the layer is. Usually you'd have a slider from 0% to 100% where 100% is fully transparent.
@Hallm3
From experience I find the lineart is trickier because you have to taper the edges in Sugimori art, which is very surgical work with eraser. The shading is alrite once you get the appropriate colours. I use black rather than dark blue, I find it doesn't really make much of a difference because the ultra low opacity makes it so subtle.

oh, this will be so helpful! I decided on a whim today that i'd try my hand at making my fakemon look more real, so i was really hoping i'd find something like this. :3
