Description I think I might free up some of my practice images as free to use line art

This is free to use for coloring and references and your forums and just for fun, whatever All I ask is that if you want to take off the image by plaguedog line, that you please credit me for the lineart or link back to my deviantart page

Also, I love seeing what people do with these so send me links ^_^ I might even start linking to my favorites in this artist comment dealy.

It's not transparent :S I blanked on how to do that without losing detail (lol tried one and went...meh i give)

But here is a quick tutorial on how to separate your line art 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

<3 Ill probably move this to scraps later

I would like to use your line art for a cross stitch. I will post when I am done! This might take me a while because of the beautiful detail!

i-is-Roxas [2009-03-28 00:29:05 +0000 UTC]

Wow, i like this a lot! I may color it.^^

Btw, though that method works for getting the line art, i tend to just duplicate the layer, deleting the original, then use the magic wand with contiguous unchecked, selecting all the white and cutting.

Then i set the linearts layer mode to multiply, coping and merging down the layer if necessary.

Works great for me and its just another method if anyone else might find it easier. -shrugs-

I love your artistic tallent and would like to thank you for the free art. I find your the best place to come for a character. Your animals are so expresive and detailed. I only wish i could make my own so well instead of coloring your pieces. As you said you would like here is a link to the coloring of this pic of yours, and the character I used him for.

I have coloured it (used a colour and scribbled around)
