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!

Oh wow, I always had trouble using the pen tool; it never occurred to me to use a thicker pixel and overlap that with a thinner one.
Thank you very much for this tutorial <3

Thank you so much for making this tutorial. The overlapping of the lines is a bit confusing but I am trying it out right now with a simple sketch to see what you mean first hand. Looking forward to more tutorials you may make in the future!

I was gonna say, because I forgot to put this in my first one. This works really well for me because I do line art really well on paper, but when it comes to doing line art on photoshop...I fail o so epically. So thank you....SO STINKING MUCH. I'm serious. It was very clear and easy to understand 8D

this is really helpful. i might give this technique a try. ive been doing everything in painter X, and its a little strenuous.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you could do your line art in photoshop and color it with painer.(it recognizes PSDs)

i might try it. but i tried this tutorial, and then it wasnt the kind of style i was looking for =/
i want a really smooth, even line art.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it ended up being smooth for me 👍: 0 ⏩: 0
you just need to be a bit meticulous. Anyway, it's the best technique I'v come across...If you don't have one of those super sensitive tablets...like an intuos 4 (
The tutorial was really helpful. Thx for Amanda
cool! thank you. this helps a lot! I had always wondered how they make such nice linearts with precise pen pressures and beautiful lines. I thought they had drawn it all by hand! Now I know the secret hehe, and I can do it too.
