Awesome! I never thought about just using the free deform to make the eyes look half closed And I know you can also animate using gimp too.
Thanks!

I never used Gimp. Awesome to know since it's a free program. C:

go to 'window' at the top of the program and 'animation' should be there, click on that and that little animation frame box that you see in the tut should pop up

Inx9119 [2010-08-12 18:12:31 +0000 UTC]

This is an awesome tutorial ~
But I have a question, I have SAI and I did all the steps
till the finished line art. But from there on the options you showed
like the 'detection mode' for the magic wand and 'Canvas > Corp by detection'
I can't seem to find on mine. What could be the problem?

niaro In reply to Inx9119 [2010-08-12 21:34:42 +0000 UTC]

You might have an old version of side. ex. old version has Addition layer as opposed to Luminosity. I suggest either downloading the new SAI on the destwo site or trying to figure out the equivalent on yours. o: I'm pretty sure old SAI had detection as opposed to selection.

Inx9119 In reply to niaro [2010-08-12 23:42:51 +0000 UTC]

Oh alright, thanks for telling me. I did download
the updated version of SAI and it worked. Thank you

limeykat In reply to ??? [2010-08-12 17:08:42 +0000 UTC]

It's nicer when you draw 3 extra frames to give it a more natural blink. Eyes dont "squish" closed.

niaro In reply to limeykat [2010-08-12 21:35:27 +0000 UTC]

KoiFishTrisha In reply to ??? [2010-08-12 16:13:25 +0000 UTC]

can this be done using photohop elements 5.0 with out sai, or is it mandatory to have sai?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

niaro In reply to KoiFishTrisha [2010-08-12 21:37:17 +0000 UTC]

You can do exactly the same thing on Photoshop. But not on Elements. TBH Photoshop Elements sucks LOL. You don't need SAI but you at least need the Clipping Mask Layers and Opacity lock and the animation for photoshop. Photoshop elements didn't even have the sharpening filter... so I'm assuming the Animation window is lacking.
