Description Edit: Part II (digital inking) now available!: [link]
Also, eyes tutorial: [link]



Starring Cloud from Advent Children! (see... told you I was in a bizarre ffvii mood)

Yes, I know that sometimes sketches are Never So Clean as they are in this case... I'll talk about digital inking sometime in the near future in another tutorial. But this is for those who sketch cleanly or who go back and clean up their pencil sketch by erasing and redrawing the lines.

Feedback appreciated! (was it clear? more/less detail? What other stuff would you like to see?)

What a nice clean tutorial--appropriately--and what a cute Cloud! ^_______^ The style reminds me of Akane, and I just want to him. You always had a knack for making tutorials, dear!

Wow.. I really liked this tutorial, it was useful! ^^. I never thought about doing soft lines like that. .

What I REALLY need to work on is cleaning up sketchy pencil lines into crispier inked lines.

joulee In reply to exdevlin [2006-03-01 21:41:13 +0000 UTC]

haha, also something I really reaaaaally need to work on. Notice why the subject is a simple chibi-boy rather than a complex thing...? ^^ I have various methods of inking/digital inking, which I hope to make a tutorial out of in the future.
