Hi....it's me again
i have a question...
in PaintToolSAI when I do the final part of the lineart, I can not that the lines are homogeneous .. and end up having many flaws .... if you go see my drawings (including Sakura Hana And Ed) you'll see .... I can not make them look good and touching ... not to mention that often come out disfigured ......
my stabilizer is 15

sorry ...... by this gigantic "testament" ... but I need to know ...

oh...

I think u just need to carefully control the pressure u exert while doing the lineart~

inconsistently-sized lineart looks good in some cases.

thanks..this is really useful! (first time know the existing of smoothing/stabilizing thing ) anyway,do u know how to change the color of the lineart?

NickBeja In reply to kittycatstudio [2010-03-31 07:26:48 +0000 UTC]

hehe... thanks

In changing the color of the lineart, make another layer above the lineart and make it into a "Clipping layer" then color on that clipping layer.

Clipping layer is also what I use to shade parts of my drawings without overlapping the strokes~
