Description
EDIT (29/12-2011): This butt ugly tutorial has recevied a much needed face lift now that I have an English version of Photoshop (which is much better than the previous Swedish one I had, since that forced me to translate everything) as well as some updates.I have now included some more facts about brush settings as well as a simple tip on how to colour your line art.
I hope that the changes will be to your liking! ^_^
And I want to thank you *shideh for proof reading!
____
Right. This pretty much explain itself >_>
A line art tutorial for all my friends that wanted to know how the pen tool works
If there are any mistakes - or questions for that matter - let me know!

Did I mention that I love you? I've been totally stumped by the Pen tool for ages, and now pure tablet pen lines just aren't cutting it. Thank you sooo much for making this <333333.

heya owo Im a total noob at Pse and even though i read like every bit of help menu i can get at, but where do you get the pen tool?.. i can find it anywhere on my ps.. omo...

Lienwyn In reply to Killveous [2008-04-13 11:36:21 +0000 UTC]
It's with the rest of the tools, there to the left. It's pretty much in the middle in my Photoshop... And if you still can't find it, just let the pointer rest over every tool one after another and a small text will pop up saying what tool it is. You can identify it that way too.

Me myself Hate the pen tool, and linearting digital at all, but you did a really great job with this tutorial and explained all the steps clear and trough. I wish I had the patience that you have XD

Lienwyn In reply to Kladdpapper [2008-01-10 13:02:10 +0000 UTC]
I like the pen tool... just because it gives the even line art that I want.
When it comes to line art in Photoshop I don't want it to have the same effect lines that I want it to have if I do it by hand for some reason >_>
Thanks anyway! ^^

Thanks for the tutorial. I just wish my hand was that steady enough to draw with a mouse. -_-;;

Lienwyn In reply to NerdyHippy [2008-01-10 13:01:03 +0000 UTC]
Drawing with a mouse can be very difficult, yes...
But I started that way (and can still do it, but since I have a tablet I kind of avoid it ) so I can only tell you to practice and hang in there ^^

That's ok,i'd rather stick with the tradition of a pencil and colored pencils. ^_^;;

sonadora100 In reply to ??? [2008-01-04 23:24:21 +0000 UTC]
Oh, that's the way I do it, or, at least, they way I try to do it, because I always get impatient and it doesn't finish with a beautiful lineart like yours...

Lienwyn In reply to sonadora100 [2008-01-08 10:55:25 +0000 UTC]
It's actually very difficult to finish them sometimes
But it tends to be worth it.
