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.)

woah. how long did you take? I had alot of problems when i tried this method, of inking in the com, in the past. I think its quite time consuming to ink it like that, but the effect is clean and great lines. It beats inking using pen. mistakes can be erased.

well, it really depends on the complexity of the drawing itself. If there werent any distractions, I'd say 2 hours or so. But I think its worth it. I feeeaaar the pen! God knows how many times I've ruined a good picture with that thing.

Helpful tutorial!!!
Thank you!!
But I have one question does it matter what kind if brushes you use? do you have any recommendation for what kind to use?
π: 0 β©: 1
For my lineart, I usually use the very first set of brushes. (I cant remember the name, but its the one with the hard round brushes, air brushes etc. You can get it by reseting your brushes.)
π: 0 β©: 1
Does it matter what size pixels you use? Cause I have been using the five-pixel brush lately and honestly I don't understand what the differences are.
π: 0 β©: 1
It honestly depends on what size you're working at, and how fine you want your lines to be. You can work at whichever size you're comfortable with. ^^ For example, if you favour using a larger brush and just erasing the excess, thats fine too.
π: 0 β©: 1
So it doesn't really make that much of a difference? Cause I usually choose which ever brush and just make it small
Thanks for helping me out so far!! I really appreciate! ^^
