Description I promised I would make a tutorial. I'm horrible at explaining things, so I think I ended up over compensating and explaining too much, if that makes since. God I'm so afraid this thing won't make any sense to anyone but me. Oh well, what's done is done. I hope this helps everyone who wants to know how I do my line art. Comment here if you have questions/comments/concerns

Full view to see the tutorial. It's a huge picture, so beware!

woooow. This is a really awesome and simple tutorial. The problem? I have photoshop 6 xD So I'm like, "Hey, maybe it'll still work."

But I can't find the pen on mine.

This is frustrating.

the only issue i have with it is i cant be bothered using my scanner to upload my drawings. -_-' why does direct sketching onto PS have to be so damn hard?

xEmoMuffinx In reply to ??? [2008-02-03 09:37:24 +0000 UTC]

Wow, I never go over the lineart so many times like that...

I'd probably find that tedious.

Great tut though. And yay, now I get why whenever I look at a tutorial for PS, the brush looks different.

*glares enviously at tablet owners*

Oh, and I never delete my workpaths. Just so I can edit them later on etc. Heehee.

cabaretdancepunk In reply to ??? [2008-01-27 07:02:26 +0000 UTC]

I learned something new, thanks to your excellent tutorial!
I have questions. For instruction number eight, what do you mean by that last paragraph where you put "And don't worry if your lines on the menu don't look wispy like that..." ?
And for the screenshot just to the right of that paragraph, did you download that brush with the sharp edge, or is it part of Photoshop 7? 'Cause I can't find it.
Thanks a lot!

Ivicic47 In reply to ??? [2008-01-25 04:51:08 +0000 UTC]

Skimmed through this. Seems very interesting. Definitely fav. I'm going to have to look back to it later ^_^ I'm good at color work, but only decent when it comes to line art, and I always have trouble with it looking good.

Webscar In reply to ??? [2008-01-22 21:34:53 +0000 UTC]

Very interesting I use the Pen Tool slightly different (Holding Ctrl / Alt instead of adding nodes to the lines later) but this is a solid tutorial

I am still trying to figure out how the Simulate pressure truly works, maybe reading this a little closer will reveal some of my mistakes

ELIE019 In reply to ??? [2008-01-20 12:24:59 +0000 UTC]

Thank You!
I finally understand how to use pen tool!
My friends wouldn't tell me as if they was a secret or something.
This helps so much cause I can't make my lines strait with my shaking hands on my tiny tablet. XP
