Description
I've had lots of questions regarding how I'm able to create smooth, clean line art. Here is a quick tutorial on how I do it, and several tips on line art brush settings. Several people have also mentioned that there isn't enough line art tutorials around, so here is a simple one <3Pardon the horrible text overlay; this tutorial was originally a forum post.
I really hope this helps to clarify some things. Let me know if anything needs to be further detailed <3
>< Sorry to all~ Forgot to add that this requires a pen tablet~

Where do you find the brush window? I'm using Photoshop elements 8

PSE doesn't have the Dynamics, but you can click on your brushes and press options, then brush presets I believe. Or go to "window" and press Brush Presets. Although, like I said, PSE doesn't have a lot of that.

Yeah, I've found that PSE isn't the best drawing program, but it really all I have. :/ But thank you anyway for replying (:

No worries, It's workable for what it is :3 I used it for the longest time then upgraded to cs6.Β

Really helpful tutorial! If i might add, i always go under 'Brush tip shape' and reduce the spacing to 1% so the line doesn't look like its made of lot and lots of tiny circles and more like a real brush. Just my personal preference though. :>

This is wonderful, thank you so much! I just got CS6 recently and have had my tablet for 7+ years and never knew how to manipulate programs to get sketch vs. line art lines. Thank you!
