Description
This is the lineart tutorial I've been promising for a while now.This tutorial uses Photoshop
I'm not farmiliar with other software so I don't know if this is compatible with other programs, neither can I answer questions on software other than photoshop.
I hope this all makes sense to read and apply to your own work if you so wish
This is the finished example from this tutorial

Hey, it works on gimp too, are you supposed to be able to color outside the lines?
I drew an eye and i'm going to color it and it is hopefully going to look cool!

I would have never thought of this, but gimp has the multipy setting so I'll see if it works there.

Crycrycry, why won't this work? I think I'm doing everything as you say with my Photoshop Elements, but still no. The color just goes everywhere, not behind the lineart. Do you know why?

Oh god thank you, this tutorial is amazing~
I've always hated doing the lineart, though my only problem is that I can never get the lines to look clean.. >.>

Use as sharp a pencil as possible
Draw light strokes when you're laying down your initial sketches so they can be rubbed out easily when you put down harder lines afterwards

Well I use the GIMP so maybe that's why. But I'm fine, I like Tracing over mine because I can correct any mistakes I didn't see before

Great tutorial, any line art I ever do I usually just trace over with the pen tool before I start. Great advice

i fail at linearts >.> and i didn't know you could use multiply for that : o (i'm new to photoshop 
amazingly helpful 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thats quite alright
I never knew about the multiply setting, or overlay or any of those other things til YEARS after I first was introduced to photoshop.
I wish I'd known about it earlier
Glad its helped you

wait I have photoshop elements and whats with the multiply thing for?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not sure, I've never seen photoshop elements to know
The multiply thing is a filter that you can put over a layer
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmm alright but I'm just finding some things and trying to get familiar with my own photoshop
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, its an utterly ridiculous program to learn to begin with
Its difficult to know where to start
once you start to get it though, its amazing

I have Paint Shop Pro, and this works just the same and good, I think!
8D Now I don't have to select every box I need to color as much~ (Did think the hard way/ without knowing the easier stuff...)

I tried this tutorial and it worked up until the part where i was about to add color, at this point it would let me change out grays whites and blacks for my color, any advice?
