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.)

Hey I have a question
I got a Bamboo tablet CTF-430 but my CD driver is broken so I can't install the driver, and pen pressure won't work. Do you know of a solution for this?

You can download the driver you need from the Wacom website.

I just think it's awesome that you also draw your rough sketch with the tablet!^^ I still draw my sketches with a pencil on paper and then scan them
Still have to find the right feeling for my tablet. It's brand new and I'm not used to it.

Very useful tutorial! However, I've got a question. When I'm turning the pen pressure function on, a ! symbol appears right beside it, and it doesn't work, you have any idea of what's happening? D:
π: 0 β©: 1
The symbol might mean that your tablet's driver may not be installed, or not installed properly.

are you using a tablet that has pressure sensitivity?

i don't have a tablet

The whole opacity and size jitter thing only works with a tablet. It doesn't work with a mouse. I guess there are plenty other ways to do lineart without a tablet, just this tutorial is designed for those with tablets.
If you decide to get one I highly recommend a Wacom Intuos :3 Thing is, they're really expensive so unless you're really, really devoted to art I wouldn't get one
