Thankyou so much for providing a link to OpenCanvas. For whatever reason, I have been having the hardest time finding a legitimate site that provides it. Thankyou, too, for taking the time to enlighten us with a tutorial on your work!

Well, I don't have OpenCanvas though... TT_______TT only Photoshop....
*sigh~*

erm, i'd like to point out you can save yourself a hell of a lot more time on step 5
- instead of copying and pasting, you could just duplicate the line layers, and then just merge it, this way you dont have to copy paste and then align it blablabla. it might not be that much faster, but at least its less inane.
anyway nice tut ^^

er, now that i get step 6, you instead of merging it down just as soon as you duplicate it, you could duplicate the layers, make all the edits you want, and then merge it. still faster and less inane if you ask me.. sorreh ^^"
π: 0 β©: 1
i dont merge it down as soon as i get to step six ^ ^. but i know what you mean by the duplicate layer option now, i didn't know how to use that untill i put up this tutorial. though really, it only takes a second to get everything to line up anyway.. im just happy to have an automatic button for it now >:3

hehe, one more question. why do you redo the lines in opencanvas instead of doing it straight in photoshop?
π: 0 β©: 1
its a matter of preference ^ ^. i like how open canvas handles details better!

hurray for the tutorial!!!! awesomeness!

*whoohoo!*
Thanks so much for starting the tutorial, I'm thrilled to see how you work! Just a quick question about your linework in OpenCanvas. You said you worked the lines with the pencil tool in black, right? So, do you just lower the opacity of the black "ink" and work at less than 100% opacity?
Thanks again for the tutorial, I'm excited to see the color start!

nope, the pencil tool stays at a default radius of about 0.8-0.9 pixels, and i have both of the pen sensitivity options switched on. i also use an intous 2 tablet! its nothing fancy, just straight penciling.
and you're welcome ^ ^.

Thanks so much for posting this. I've been so curious how you get your lines to be so soft. ^^ Awesome work.

Ohhh my god, you've no idea how badly I've been hoping you'd make tutorials about how you make your artwork! Thank you so much!!

Woow this is great! Gunna help allot.
Hmmm now i just need open canvas, a tablet and allot more talent XD
π: 0 β©: 0
hmmm it looks pretty simple... but i'll see. o.o
^_^ nice tut.

sigh. you make it look so easy.

Instead of copying and pasting the lineart on different layers and then trying to line it up, wouldnt it be MUCH easier to just duplicate the layer with the lineart, thus automaticaly lining everything up and making it darker?
π: 0 β©: 1
ah, only i didn't know how untill people started telling me. *smacks forehead* ^ ^;;

xD I used to teach a photoshop class, so yah know. You pick up on these things xD

I think, if you hold shift and paste, it'll paste the picture in the same place. I'm not entirely certain though.
Nice tutorial, though I would never have the patience for inking a picture at that size. XD

thanks! this is so helpful ^_^

ha. this is ironic. *soul-sama was singin your praises to me on msn earlier today and i was thinking "i wonder how she gets those soft beautiful lines and colors"
now i know~
π: 0 β©: 0
thats really helped
P.S. All i need is my wacom tablet, my photoshop 7.... and that open canvas thing i have never heard of... -_-"
π: 0 β©: 0
so if we don't have a tablet, we can just use the pen tool and have its stroke path set to pencil? do you always have the pencil size at 1px? this tut is sooo cool, I feel the urge to ink something RIGHT NOW
π: 0 β©: 1
if you're savvy with the pen tool, then i bet you could! i stink with it, so if i dont have a tablet, im gone ^ ^;. the only thing you'd be missing is the slight line variations, i guess. and thanks!
π: 0 β©: 1
ok yeah, I use the pen tool all the time because I'm tablet-free (
