As I am too busy, It will be hard for me to reply to comments on this page. However, if the issue is really pressing, you're free to note me, and I will do my best to answer.
Let's help each other! If you see a question on this page that you can answer, feel free to help out. You'll have all our gratitude.
---------------------------------------------------------
Take note before beginning the tutorial:
1. You must have a tablet. Wacom is a popular and reliable brand for the most part. For beginners, I'd suggest a Bamboo Fun model.
2. For photoshop, only version 7.0 and up has wacom support. For other software, please check [link] to see if yours has the right support.
3. Also, please ensure you have your tablet drivers are installed. If yours is a wacom model you can download them from the wacom homepage at [link]
--------------------------------------
I've received quite a number of question regarding my work, one of them being "How DO you do your lineart?" Hopefully, this tutorial will answer that question.
This is a BEGINNER LEVEL TUTORIAL that was done in Photoshop CS, but should work for any version with tablet capabilities. Even if you dont use photoshop, the fundamentals are the same.
Please tell me if it helps, and if I should do a colour tutorial. (I am considering it, but its ALOT of work.)

It basically just tells your software how to work. If you have an outdated one the software might not know how to interact with the hardware. I have a bamboo tablet so I went on their website and they provide the driver downloads on there.

First I thought I can't make decent lineart with mouse (I mean it's possible but really, really hard) so I got myself a nice tablet. After some time I started to think I'm idiot and I'll never be able to draw with lines... then I found your tutorial :3 THANK YOU so much! I love you!

Thank you, this was very helpful. I was trying to understand why my lineart was very messy, and it's just a matter of a bigger canvas, a lot of dpi, and more zooming!

Wow... this makes me appreciate DA artists more... xD It makes me wonder how long those beautiful pieces that end up on the front page take... must be hours.

I didn't think you could get your lines so nice with just the brush D: I should really give this a try so I don't waste my money on Photoshop CS5 just for the stupid pen tool.

I'm currently using a Bamboo Fun tablet from Wacom. They are relatively inexpensive, and are great for both beginners and pros alike.

this tutorial really helped me out! Just got a working tablet, on loan from a friend, and I had no idea where to start. If you have time and haven't done it you should def make a coloring tut!

I have a problem.. is it because I'm using Photoshop CS4? the pressure sensitivity works alright.. but...
If less pressure is put, only the lines become thinner but the color doesn't become lighter..
May I know what's causing it? (i think it's because of the version. ==")
