Description
As I promised, here is my second tutorial. This time I'd like to explain the way I clean my pencil linearts.When they are finished I print them on the sheet of paper and start colouring them traditionally with my markers.
By the way, since some of you asked, I'm going to make a copic tutorial next :].
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm very happy that my previous tutorial was helpful.

It helps that your lineart is already super clean to begin with... my sketches are so messy that I have to line art with Photoshop.
Good tutorial though! If I get a clean enough drawing I may have to try it this way

Wow. This is really helpful. I'v been drawing since I could hold a pencil, but I've never learned how to advance my art with programs. I like the smooth lines of pencil as well, and the 'no fogiveness' of inking is brutal. Thanx muchly!! :3

Thank you so much for this tutorial
Really simple to understand and also good for the Gimp users like me (really similar to Photoshop). A very good idea.
With it and the colouring tutorial, I'm ready to try to color a first lineart!

This is a very handy guide

Instead of using brightness/contrast, I would suggest using "selective color" option . Then you just play with the levels of white, neutral and black - you'll get way better results.

I was wondering, I also use copic markers but I thought you needed to make the line-art with copic/water-proof inkt. So I use a copic-proof fine-liner. But when I print them and color them, won't the inkt from the printer smear out or make the brush nib dirty?
besides that, It's a real nice tutorial
I love it how your line-art turned out

To be honest, I print my lineart with my Canon printer. After priting I wait a few minutes for ink to get dry and then I start colouring. I never had problems with the ink getting smudged by copics.

how do u then color under the lines without getting color on the lines itself? =___=

You're interested in colouring the lineart digitally, right: 3?
It's quite simple. Duplicate the layer with your lineart, change its mode into multiply (the white color becomes transparent) and create new layers for colouring under the duplicated layer.
I've already discussed this option in one of my previous tutorials (see my folder with linearts and tutorials). If you need help don't hesitate to ask.
