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!

Thanks, that was helpful. What size are ur images when you work on usually? Like do you make them really huge and then shrink them down alot?

I only have one problem. When making a circular shape, like the swoosh on a t-shirt or hair line, the tip becomes much to thin. Almost invisible. Is there a way to thicken that?

Thank you so much! I have been wanting to draw anime but I am a sketch person. I couldn't draw a straight line to save my life. I really should look before I ask but eh, if you don't have a mini-tutorial on how to make the eyes, could you make one?

Do you flatten your lineart before coloring it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, but not to the background. I make the background layer invisible, so you can only see your lineart and a grey grid behind it, then select any lineart layer and go to the "Layer" pulldown menu at the top and select "Merge Visible". That's what I do anyway

This is both amazing and fav'd...but good lord, is there no easier way? It would take me two weeks to line art any of my drawings using this long, albeit effective technique.... :\

I had a question about the section of the drop down box for selecting the brushes T^T
I looked all over for tutorials for that matter for 6.0
, i have a tablet and stuff, but i dont have the setting to have the type of brush you used T^T
all i have is the sloid brushes and the brushes that fade out only to the sides but it always makes s slid line when not even barely putting pressure on my tablet T^T is there away i can access the brush drop down box on 6.0?

I mean On my mothers old laptop it would work perfectally cause of the software, but on my HP its some MAC thing to deal with it, but the thing is with the software it interfears with my mouse and my fiance went through all of the crap to fix it since he studies that crap, but no answer T^T

Really that's interesting how you do lineart lol, I just trace it with the brush tool in Photoshop (well... I can't vouch for the quality, you'll have to be the judge of that), but that's an interesting way of doing it. I may try that out myself! I'll fav this, b/c I might find this useful!!

Thank you for the tutorial! I finaly understand how to use it. Just had to practice the pen tool a few times and later it was way easier. It's tedious doing the line art but it's also fun

Thanks for the tut'! Got one problem using the pen though :\ After I have to point and I curved the line I want to make another straight line so I could edit it later but I cant do that because it gets automatically curved and not how I wanted it and I can't change it much. What do I do? Im doing my characters hair now and it's handful..

So many comments although it would be rude of me not to. This tutorial helped me with my Christmas lineart: [link]
Thankyou very much. ^^

This has been really great! The only problem is (and this is totally not your fault at all) that my parents got me elements 7, which has a better interface...maybe just looking better.... *sweatdrop* but they also moved around some of the buttons, which ended up not being much of a problem anyways! So, thanks a lot!
