Description Here is the second tutorial! Go me, go me. It's mah birthday! Not for real, real. Just for play, play!

Seriously this file is huge, do not hit full view lightly. As comprehensive as I can be about Illustrator inking. If there are any problems I'll fix them later. It's 1:30 here and I am going to bed. Enjoy.

Tutorial 1 - Sketching [link]

[edit]
I found several errors including a place where I had cut off an entire paragraph. Sorry guys. I hope this makes more sense.

Aha. Useful. Well, if I knew how to use my tablet, that is. And had Illustator.
Still, 'tis a good tutorial, so it is. You make me want to buy the aforementioned program. But alas, I have no money.
You say the next tutorial is for us poor Photoshop users? I'm greatly looking forward to it.

Holy double posts, Reedman! Looks like I was a tad too late on the Stop button.

Good. It doesn't give as crisp lines as Illustrator and there are a few more steps (can you imagine something bigger than this giant hulking monstrosity?) but it is possible. What version of Photoshop do you have?

Aeromage In reply to reed682 [2006-02-22 00:42:46 +0000 UTC]

Photoshop CS, I believe. (Whatever happened to the nice numbers?)

But I reeeeeeally can't wait for teh photoshops one. Because some of us are poor losers with no income and hence no illustrator, and only the photoshop elements which came with their teeny weeny lil' tablet.

The Photoshop one will be soon, though the inking I will be talking about needs the pen tool. I don't think that Elements has the pen tool.

It does, I believe. At least the version I have does.

reed682 In reply to Gaelwyn [2006-02-22 20:18:16 +0000 UTC]

Where is it located exactly? We are trying to find it on Bink's version but can't. Is there a screen that pops up when you open the program that says what the version number of your elements is?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Gaelwyn In reply to reed682 [2006-02-23 02:35:26 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. When I open the program, it shows the "create new/whatever whatever" popup screen, and mine says that it's 2.0.....

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

reed682 In reply to Gaelwyn [2006-02-23 04:20:37 +0000 UTC]

I think Bink's is 3. So why doesn't she have a pen tool?

Nothing you need to worry your pretty little head over. Now, could you do me a favor hold this cement block... I had better tie it to your legs so you don't accidentally loose it, jump off the bridge... yeah just stand on the edge like that, and deliver it to my friend the fish, he lives down at the bottom of that deep river, there’s a pal.

Um, I thought I gave him (and the jar I kept him in) to Nad, maybe she has it. Or did I put him the garbage disposal? I can't remember.

Btw, can I put your Illustrator tutorial onto the ~da-mentors page? I can't remember if I have asked you before, but I thought I would. Better safe than Canadian I always say.

Thanks. You only need to tidy it up if you want to. I haven't looked it over for any typos. But I thought it was fine.

Um, I think she may be... um... selling his services, to artists in dark alley ways. I hear she is making good money.

I appreciate the self censoring, it was very kind of you.

There's a couple of incomplete sentences there, in important spots, and it's making my brain cry.

Overall, awesomeness! I've always been horrible at Illustrator, but this does help immensely.
