Description
So i hope this file doesn't kill your computer like it almost killed mine.I really didn't expect it to be so long!
Oh well, here it is, for those who were interested i hope this helps.
I suck at explaining things so if you have questions feel free to ask
Like i said, my methods aren't the easiest or the fastest or the best so i guess this isn't so much of a tutorial as it is an explanation of what i do
Oh and if anyone's wondering whose character that is, he belongs to we have a trade going as she kindly let me use my pic for her in this.
This is a preview of what it'll look like but hopefully it'll be better

Ok, I'm guessing theres no way to really do this,..but How do you make the lines so accurate? I mean, so smooth? I use ps cs3, and as much as i try, i can NEVER get the lines nearly as smooth. Its getting on my last nerve. I'm assuming all i can do is "taper" the lines ay? Or is there a secret to your method and others methods that i often see?

I guess it depends whether you're using a tablet or a mouse to do your lines.
I do mine all mine freehand with a tablet but make sure you zoom in so you can see any wobbles and erase/redo them.
Also if you make the image bigger in size then when you reduce the size of it in the end then you don't notice the wobbles as much.
If you're still having problems then you can always try using the pen tool, there are loads of tutorials out there that will teach you how to if you need them.
Hope that helps, but if you have other questions feel free to ask, i'd love to be able to help

yes, I do indeed use a tablet. Yeah, I've noticed that XD But it pixilates quite quickly..and the pixels are annoying. But I'll be sure to keep ahold of your advice in mind.
And yeah, sure thing.
