Hi, this tutorial is wonderful i do have one question though, when i scan my picture and do the lineart and then i start colouring, shading etc. the colours go over my lineart then i have to re-do my lineart again its very time consuming what do i do not to go over my lineart?
I see in your tutorial when youre shading the skin your not erasing the lineart

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MK-Junior In reply to Kana-Chaan [2011-12-06 02:43:00 +0000 UTC]

the lineart is not erased because Im painting on another layer below the lineart layer.
If your lineart isa scanned version, try making the layer blending mode into 'multiply'.

msmechpen [2011-06-10 13:35:15 +0000 UTC]

I'm confused about the layers. How did you do that without coloring lines from ur lineart?

w334800 In reply to msmechpen [2011-06-24 01:31:32 +0000 UTC]

there you use a layer below the lines for coloring :3

Thanks for the help!

Although you said you used a blur with a tool called 'water'. I don't have that tool, I have 'water color' but not 'water', is that the same thing?

This was very useful up until the hair. D: I can't seem to find the line tools on my SAI, which is driving me nuts. Any suggestions for where I should be looking? Am I just a total n00b?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MK-Junior In reply to Chi-Haku [2011-12-06 02:45:23 +0000 UTC]

in case you havent found out. the line tools will appear when you create a 'new linework layer' which is the button next to create new layer. (a paper with a pen)
