Description WARNING!! It's pretty big.
I tried to cover a couple of Photoshop basics while I was doing it so yeah...

Okay then...hope it helps someone and I'm sorry about the crappy tutorial. I wouldn't be surprised if you actually regressed in your abilities by reading it. If you need any help, just ask.

Try putting your scan above all of the layers and then setting it to 'multiply'. That should do it. <3

Hey, I have a question... How fo you get the lines looking so clear and stright? Is there a certain brush or paper size setting to acheive this?

Twilight-Deviant In reply to jakk1994 [2008-07-15 22:03:49 +0000 UTC]

No, not that I know of. I do use a tablet though. I normally just use a 1px size brush if I'm working at actual size.
Sorry if that didn't help.

The lasso-the most basic tool in Photoshop and I never thought of using it. That'll make things much easier!

Twilight-Deviant In reply to tara993 [2007-05-18 18:36:16 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad that I can help. I remember the first time that I opened up Photoshop and then I didn't understand anything. I looked at tutorials and they said use this tool or that tool, but they wouldn't tell me which tool it was exactly.

tara993 In reply to Twilight-Deviant [2007-05-18 23:48:30 +0000 UTC]

im looking for a tutorial for dummies (me) basically, because alot of tutorials all assume that you already know all about photoshop, and just tell you the same most others did, but i am just searching for a suuuper easy one.

Twilight-Deviant In reply to tara993 [2007-05-19 02:36:51 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, most tutorials don't really tell you how to use Photoshop as much as tell you the steps that the go through when they use it. I'm just glad that I'm a fast learner.

Glad that I could help you.
I hope that you do get better. When it comes down to it, a tutorial helps but nothing is better than practice. I'm still getting some of it myself.

ikhyun-choe [2007-04-20 04:50:43 +0000 UTC]

QUESTION PLEEZ!!! Do u use a tablet, if not do u have a line art tutorial? please say yes. owell if u dont i guess... By the way, great stuff here

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Twilight-Deviant In reply to ikhyun-choe [2007-04-21 02:23:05 +0000 UTC]

Do I use a tablet?
--Yes. This method of coloring is definitely easier with one (all coloring is actually) but I still can use my mouse from time to time when my hand gets sore. So, a tablet isn't required.

Do I have a lineart tutorial?
--No. Sorry, I never actually got around to making one. Maybe one day.

And thanks for the awesome comment.

Well...I wasn't trying to be lazy exactly as much as...it's already pretty big. Had I put any more words or descriptions in there it would have been really mean to the people with slow connections.

No I understood a lot... it was just summed up a little more simplly then I'm used to. I must say though you did a really good job on it.

Glad I could help.

Yeah, it's a lot easier than I used to think too. It still feels too easy sometimes. I finish it and it looks fine, but I still feel like is that it? Didn't take long at all. Did I forget something? But, yeah...good luck.
