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.)

I recommend getting a Wacom brand tablet, but the cheapest ones they have right now are the 80 dollar Bamboos, but I think you should just pay 20 extra dollars for the Bamboo Fun since it gives you a wireless mouse too.

Thanks a lot for this tutorial, it's nicely explained and I think it's good for more advanced artists as well! I never got the idea of working with a bigger file to get the lineart look smoother when sized down ^^

I normally use digital pen inking, but this is an interesting way to do it, as well. It seems like more fun.
