Description
Note: This tutorial is for Photoshop Elements, but it should work with other Photoshop versions as well. Also, this is just how I do my comic pages...there are plenty of techniques out there, so I urge people to look for the ones that fit them best^^.A couple people were asking about how I do lineart for KO, so I figured I'd upload this. It's not all that great and the picture used is horribly old, so I apologize. Also, this is probably nothing new for those who regularly use Photoshop, but for those who are new to PS, I hope this helps

There is another way you can prep lineart PERFECTLY from pencil but have the transparency. If you wanna know, Ill explain it to you.

Use a window or some sort of glass with a light source behind it. I used to do this before I bought a lightbox

8D *le gasp!* Thank you so much! I just recently got PS and was wondering how people color under their lines without going over the lineart with a new layer. *favs*

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
I wanna make a comic one day and this is so helpful!

Thats actually really helpful cos i do stuff all on one layer, which is a pain in the ass. Because if i start using 1 layer i'll end up using 11 just to do one section of the pictur, which immensly pointless.
The photoshop i now have is 5. i didn have CS2 on trial, i lost the disk and its ran out

i have a question...is elements an expansion?
π: 0 β©: 0
I used to save as JPG's...but it made my images come out blurry. I know that on theGIMP you can set your quality to 100% and make it better. Is that possible with photoshop?
I like PNG's as well. They're not blurry or weird looking! xD

OMG thank you for posting this.. I may seem a little stupid but i could never figure that out before! I'd just gotten it with my new Graphire tablet and It was completely confusing to me, but now I understand it - dances- This has been a very useful tutorial! Again, thanks for posting this.

cool stuff.

I'm new with photoshop and comics as well, so this was like a wish come true, hehe ^^ The more tricks the better, that way I, and other artists as well, can find easier ways to make their pages! Like my last one, I did the lines and colour by hand Oo ,
Left me too tired to add anything else! Bad thing
I have Photshop CS & Image Ready with it, good or bad thing? Am I doomed to only be able to use layers when tracing and colouring?
Besides that, to the point: Thanks, Kahvie! =3

This is great, it's nice to see awesome artists give tutorials to show us common folk how it's done. This was actually the first technique I ever learned and used to color pics in PS. Great work.

Hey. I use Elements too. Nice job. I use a slightly different technique. Some of the things we do are alike, but I like thicker lines, so I actually go all out on line art and such.
Maybe I would do what you do, if my sketches were decipherable to everyone else. They're like hieroglyphics that only I can decode (that's how scary they are). The way you do it seems much quicker, but I suppose I'll live.

Genious! Gah, I just got Photoshop, so I'm still an idiot. XD Thanks for the tutorial, I'll be able to color things a lot more effectively now.

Ahaha, I only have a regular Photoshop (7.0 I think), but if I ever move my arse and try and learn to color in my artwork in computer art, I'll keep this tutorial in mind.

sweeet! this will come in handy since i'm *planning* on starting a comic.
hmm.. btw, how would you photoshop dust being kicked up? Mine is going to take place in a desert, yet i havent the faintest idea how i would accompish that effect.
i figured i'd ask a pro XD
