From cleaning to finished product!

[Dattebayo!]

Just as it says, I stumbled across this while looking in to techniques for shading hair, found it to be the best tutorial I've found! it covers the cleaning of the lines to make your lineart to the finished, fully coloured and shaded product.

Enjoy, I hope it can help some of the new artists (and who knows maybe some of the older ones too )

I think I'm confused ^^'
I don't know how other artists do manga linearts (like Ziaja, amt, shade and other awesome ones). I only draw and ink from original sketch lines, but I remember the process much simpler and less taxing than that .....
Basically just drop the opacity and trace over if it's sketch,
or if it's clean lines> select transparency with the wheel thingy from channels and erase back white, then lock pixels and darken.


Though thanks for sharing

I usually go about the same process, the joys of a tablets. It took me a while to get used to the pen pressure though, my first couple of linearts were really jagged around the edges, so much so that I began just making HUGE lineart and shrinking it down to ease on the mistakes I made. xD Now I've gotten more used to it and can ink on a normal sized canvas.

You use the long process? or the simpler one...?
I work with huge canvases too. Guess it depends on the program, if you use SAI then you won't have any of those jagged lines problems or sensitivity issues.

The simple one that you described, the sketch, low opacity and tracing such. Haha, ironically enough I'm downloading SAI right now. xd
