Note that this tutorial expects you to have atleast basic knowledge of the program

Also note that I do use a tablet, the same look won't be achieved with a mouse

Oh another good reason to have a big canvas is it's easier to fill in your base colors afterwards, you can just paint bucket it =7=


I had a few people ask how I lineart and well..I'm not really sure how to explain/teach it besides telling you my settings and I guess my canvas size and what not to do hahaha. So here's how I basically lineart, not how you should lineart but how I lineart..ahaha

Hope whoever finds it useful, feel free to ask questions because this is full of holes and mistakes somewhere I'm sure :'D

I can't say if it'll make your drawings better since there are people that exist that for some reason work better with a mouse but a tablet would make it greatly easier

zearyu In reply to TonyDaiz [2012-02-24 01:09:26 +0000 UTC]

Having pressure sensitivity on and just how I draw with the stylus. A paintbrush stroke in real life doesn't go pointy by itself yes?

I'd say double check your tablet driver and make sure it's working :'D that's the only thing I would know that would cause settings to make no changes

blueseason9 In reply to ??? [2012-01-07 19:07:28 +0000 UTC]

i have a question, when you are putting everything in diffrent layers like hair and skin for example, how do you do it to be able to fill the colour on the hair when you have already done the border of the skin, this means that once the skin is done with the outline, you open new layer for the hair, but now you have to do the outline of the hair and there is some parts that overlap with the skin. do you have to do that everytime or is there a tip for not making that?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

zearyu In reply to blueseason9 [2012-01-07 22:26:59 +0000 UTC]

Yeah that's basically the only way I do it, skin first and then hair since hair naturally goes over skin. There's no other way to do it haha, even if you want to do the entire thing on one layer(painting) you start with what's on the bottom first and work your way up in order. I usually just have skin on one layer and everything else on one layer on top nowadays though.

thankyou for answering!

ill have to get back to overlapping lines

zearyu In reply to blueseason9 [2012-01-07 23:38:13 +0000 UTC]

OH sorry i think I answered only the coloring way of it, not the drawing way. When drawing I just erase any lines that overlap..I think my video shows it too but I don't remember haha;; but yeah any line that overlaps like skin line over hair line I just erase the skin line. In the end my lineart is one layer

blueseason9 In reply to zearyu [2012-01-08 00:40:10 +0000 UTC]

but if u erase those lines, then you cant fill the hair when you are painting because it will be open on the side that is touching the skin

zearyu In reply to blueseason9 [2012-01-08 06:46:47 +0000 UTC]

Yeah you can merge the layers xD i merge them all into one always. Or you can color manuallly

she is saying that with none of those lines (pen+brush) she gets a line with a sharp edge, but circular and hard.


thats the literal traduction.

Oh ok! You can say that it's probably because of her brush/pen settings and she needs to adjust that. If it's adjusted like mine then her computer or SAI itself isn't picking up her tablet's pressure sensitivity
