Download for the full sized 1200x782 imageThis is free to use for coloring and references and your forums and just for fun, whatever
I love seeing how you color these! post a link on this if you do one <3
Once again here is a quick tutorial on separating your lineart from the background for coloring in Photoshop.
1. open image and click on the channels tab
2. ctrl-click on the blue layer (rgb mode) to select the lineart
3. Invert the selection (select>inverse or ctrl-shift-I)
4. click back onto the layers tab and make a new layer for your lines.
5. select black (any color really) and fill with the paint bucket
6. Deselect (select>deselect or ctrl-shift-D)
7. Delete the original layer (background), This should leave you with the layer for your lineart on a transparent background
8. Make new layers UNDER your lineart layer to color, your lines will now be completely unaffected by your coloring. if you want your lines to be darker you can always duplicate the lineart layer

If I can find these files on my drive, I will resave them as .png files. I think that should help!

BTW I love that you have a mother child lineart. I would love to see more like this as it seems no one has made any of these.

Do you think you could do a wolf lineart that looks just like the little wolf in this but older?

I wish to erase the 'Lineart by PlagueDog' but I will give you reference ^^
I need to find an extra character for our graphic novel, so I decided to color the pup, and maybe that will inspire th mother. XD

for MS Paint users, when you(Plaguedog, AND the others) need to save it as .PNG, like how when you save a file it has a box and you click which file type, click .PNG and it should work. i'm gonna use this too, if you don't mind.

I get that all the time. I think MS paint just breaks up the pixels really bad....if you find something out let me know.
