for the final step when you layer clip, does everything else have to be on one merged layer?

Saphirya In reply to DizDear [2013-02-03 17:13:38 +0000 UTC]

i don't merge all layers, i keep all the different layer, besause i'm never sure if i have to redraw some parts ><

I just create a new file by saving it as a PNG file, i always keep SAI files ^^

Helpful tutorial. ; v;
I was wondering, how do you get the pen tool to have sharp ends? Mine ends up flat, bulky and round. : |

One thing I noticed is that the "Layer Clip" is "Clipping Group". So, it should work the same way?

Saphirya In reply to Flaria-Icaria [2011-12-11 21:45:50 +0000 UTC]

yes layer clip and clipping group are the same thing, so it works the same way

Flaria-Icaria In reply to Saphirya [2011-12-13 04:20:49 +0000 UTC]

When I tried it and it doesn't color the lines itself? What am I doing wrong exactly? D: Maybe, I didn't follow the steps correctly.

Saphirya In reply to Flaria-Icaria [2011-12-13 07:57:04 +0000 UTC]

you have created a new layer over your line as layer clip (or clipping group) ?

maybe when you did a line wrong you erased with the white color and not with the eraser
the parts you erase with white colors will be colored too .. D:

Flaria-Icaria In reply to Saphirya [2011-12-14 02:22:27 +0000 UTC]

I created a new layer over the line with the clipping group and I didn't erased any white colors so it's came in transparent from another person's line art.

mm.. i don't know... sorry ><
if you want to color the line you can also :
create a new layer over the line as "screen mode", and color this new layer '-'
