Hi, can you tell me what your brush settings are? I'm trying to achieve the same type of lines you are getting. I have a Wacom Intuos 3. Thanks in Advance.
I know the video is sped up. I do professional illustration.
Regardless of the video speed, it is still impressive that he can do the strokes in one go. It's very hard to get the perfect weighting throughout the stroke especially in this style. And you can tell he is not doing it slowly in begin with.
@BeautyBoyTV Thx for the compliments! I haven't tried the inkling yet, but I must say the guys (and girls) at Wacom have come up with a pretty nifty gadget! Although I have to say that my regular doodles are done on pretty large paper, which gives me room to do several variations on a gag and just play around with it. I don't think the inkling can handle anything larger than A4 right now, but it certainly looks great!
@ArturoN For digital work I prefer a regular Wacom tablet. I know there are a lot of people that go for a Cintiq now, but working with a glove on isn't really my thing (because the screen tends to get warm and then your hand goes all sweaty) I recently saw Samsung has these new extra large screens that have multitouch features and can be used as an actual digital drawing table, so that might be something cool right? Make sure to get something you feel comfortable with, that's what's important.
How are you making such perfect lines so quickly? They just kinda pop on. It takes me forever to ink and my lines still don't look smooth like this. I can't get them to taper that fat, and stay smooth. Maybe you just have a steady hand.
@silversteampunk The lines popping on is a side effect of the fact that this video has been sped up. So, in reality the inking takes much more time than you experience here. It takes time to practice, but I've had years of experience just doing traditional inks with a brush before going digital and that really helps. The software is trying to emulate certain effects that materials have in reality, so keep in touch with the real stuff too! (although then there's no undo button!) Hahaha!
@fanUpload if you want to draw clean, straight lines, better use the pencil tool instead of a brush. Still, if you mean to draw perfectly straight lines with a brush without stroke variables while still having pen pressure selected, just hold the shift key while drawing vertical or horizontal lines to constrain the thickness.
Sorry to bother you with another question about the brush you used, but I have just gotten CS5 and am having trouble thinning out the edges of the brush in order to get those crisp lines you've achieved. As of now, my hard round brush is just a thick black line, and I am unable to thin out the edges. How were you able to do it?
@JennHamz Make sure to use a wacom tablet and a stylus. It' ll give you the option to provide pressure, which allows for different volumes in your strokes. If you prefer using a mouse, or you just don't have a tablet, you can switch to the pentool, lay down a path, rightclick and choose to add simulated pressure. The different brush setting will give you the possibilty to create all kinds of effects, tapered and such.
Feel free to mail me at badboycomics if you have any trouble.
@PlanetXeditZs It all depends... Normally I just use one brush and adjust it as I go, applying force to when it need to be thicker. Sometimes though, when you don't have the time to do a clean-up of your artwork, you might go for a thinner look at first just to get your characters balanced out right and add volume next!
@real3rdlife It's just the standard round brush I use, adjusted a bit to fit my Wacom tablet (spacing 1%, roundness 100%, smoothing checked and shape dynamics checked for pen pressure). Something that could help you guys, is rotating your art on the fly, to create a more natural feeling. (Check openGL settings: preferences/performance). You need at least OpenGL 2.0 though to use this feature, It was added to photoshop not to long ago, I think since CS4.
hello can i ask if how to make a brush from thin to thick while making sketch thanks much ^^,) nice work

@BadboyComics I have a cintiq and I dont really ever have to wear a glove. As long as your screen is clean the its pretty much like drawing on paper.
