Description
I get a lot of questions about how I get my lineart to come out looking so professional looking. As promised, I finally got around to doing a tutorial on how I ink. =3 It's not the most complicated way to do lineart in the world, but it works for me. <33
I'm so terrible at explaining things, so if there's any confusion on anything, just let me know. ;3 I'd be more than glad to clear it up. Hopefully it helps though. <33Finished picture used in this tutorial:

has a really good tutorial up for doing lineart in Paint Tool SAI: [link] It follows a lot of the same techniques, only it's a different program. <3

Pen pressure is awesome! Once you get used to it, drawing with a tablet is just like drawing on paper...only digital like. <3
Well hopefully you'll find one. :3 My mom's actually looking to buy a new 2011 mustang like next week and they start at like 23 grand...us dollars of course. xD Not sure why she wants a new car but I dun mind.
Lol, they are. :3

I discovered this tut because of Stearling lol.
Anyway, I love this tutorial, but I have one question. We both share the same versions of Photoshop, PSE 5.0, but I can't seem to find the brush that is shown in here. I searched through all the brush options that came with the program, yet I cannot find it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm, my brush tool is right below the eraser on the side tool bar. ;3 The brush tool is a really basic tool, so I'm sure it's there somewhere. xD If I remember, I think it was in the same menu as the pencil tool. Try holding down the pencil tool and seeing if it's one of those options that drop down.
~ Hopefully that'll work

No, no, I mean what type of brush you used. Like, all I can use is the basic circle brush that shows up in "default brushes", not the line-thingy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, lol. xD The brush I use is just a simple hard round brush aka the default circle brushes. c: I just change the pixel size to '4 px' instead of the preset sizes.

How to you give it what wavey-like look? Or is it already like that when you just click it and draw drawing?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's just showing I have pen pressure turned on because I'm using a tablet. c: It won't show up like that if your using a mouse.

I'm using a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet, which I believe it has sensitivity (That's what it said in the product's description lol.) Do you know where I can access where I can edit the pen pressure for my tablet?

I did a small feature of this tutorial in the description of my own::: [link]
Mine is for Paint Tool SAI, but since you have one for Photoshop, I thought it proper to let people know about it :3
BTW: I love your line art

Aww, thanks so much for the feature!

So helpful, thanks a lot, I needed this. My problem is that when I try to ink on my tablet it comes out all wobbly. Any advice on how to make my lines come out smoother so I can stop using the path tool?

w00t, thanks for the tutorial. (: most of what I do's pretty much the same, except for the image resizing/downsizing, and I need to learn how to control the pen pressure, so thanks a lot!

yeah (: although, one thing, do you sketch on Photoshop or scan a hand-drawn picture most of the time?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I usually sketch in photoshop, but everything will still work the same for scanned in sketches too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
alright. thanks again. (:
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
do you scan your sketch first or actually draw it on photoshop?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Most of the time, I draw my sketches straight on Photoshop, but the same method would work for scanned in sketches.

Since you use a tablet and i love ur art....I have a quest, im getting a wacom bamboo fun tablet? Do u recommend those bc it is easier to draw..?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Tablets make digital art a lot easier in my opinion.

Ps-Love ur art! (:

totally faving in case ppl who stop by my page want to see it. I think this stuff is important to show people. Its not necessarily complicated, but very useful. I shrink images myself, but I actually never thought to start by sketching on the size of image that I planned to finish with.. xD Usually the entire image ends up much smaller than it ever started in the first place...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I tried that once, but I tend to draw really small as it is, so my pictures came out micro sized.

Personally I'm a sucker for the line tool in Photoshop. It makes the lines straighter and smoother looking when you draw with a mouse. 
Unfortunely there are 2 problems with this in Photoshop: you loss out on the many awesome paint brush effects and you end up with a ton of layers! ( I didn't have the second problem in the first program I used called Photoshop Deluxe though, a very cheap and very old program in the Photoshop line. It was the first editor I used!)
Anyways this is a great tuturial!

My version of Photoshop didn't come with the pen tool, so I never got used to that way of inking.
Haha, of course! Hope it helps though. <3

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Fffft, what are you talking about? I think it looks great! Of course, the other way you ink is really great too.
