how do i make the lineart layer? Am I supposed to draw it with Photoshop, or is there some way for me to have a background layer along with an imported picture without drawing it?
I make a new layer over my sketch and carefully draw it in photoshop. But if you want to import a picture of lineart and you need to separate it from the background I will post a link to a tutorial on your page
I have Elements, it's possible to do what he's doing in this video, but you'll have to change the way you do it. (Mainly creating the Background along with a lineart layer)
you can use the pen tool to do lineart once you get the hang of it its really easy and quick, but you tend to get a very uniform lineweight on it so that maybe a drawback
There's no trick to it. It actually takes me AGES to do the lineart. All it I do is just keep drawing the line fast and undoing it if it's not smooth. my fingers are always on CTRL + Z xD For the horizontal/vertical straight lines I just use the line tool.
Yes, I put in the description that I used a Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet...
urmmm what version of photoshop are you using? It should work this way on all versions tohugh =/ Lock the transparency on a layer and it will only allow you to paint on areas that have already been painted in the layer. Make sure you have something painted on the layer where you locked the transparency. Other than that, I'm not sure what else could be wrong =/
You can use either an airbrush or a soft brush. They're both basically the same. The soft brushes should be in your brushes palette (when you right click on your canvas).
The only airbrush I know of is in the top left hand corner of the screen (while you have the brush tool selected), there should be a small picture of a brush and a little arrow next to it. Click that and you should be able to select from airbrush. but in this tutorial I just used a soft round brush on pen pressure.
You mean the lineart? I think I have a video on lineart uploaded, have a look. My sketches are REALLY rough though, so it might be difficult for you to see what's happening. But, basically I just use either a 1px hard round brush OR a slightly bigger brush with pen pressure, they both create different styles.
lol you are right to assume Ayabie xD but it's actually Mask (the first song) but one of their old songs when Aoi was the vocalist ^^ I'm a big Aoi fan =P
But ive got a problem i open up my lineart of something but.. its on background so i duplicate the layer and name it layer then put the skin layer inbetween the background and duplicated one and try to paint but nothing appears? any solutions?
you're welcome =] The next one in line is the eyes and then it will be clothes. Although this character has quite tight clothing but I will try and show how to create folds and such anyway =P

Btw, i tried ur turtorial, but the lineart is away if i fill the skin with colours ._.

the first song is: Mask - Tamerai jisatsu singou
the second song is: Fairy Fore - Planetary
Make sure the lineart is on it's own layer. And then put any colouring layers UNDERNEATH the lineart layer. Then the lineart should show through.

I only used the standard brushes that come with Photoshop.
A hard round brush and a soft round brush (which I might call an 'air brush' sometimes)

How do you get the lines so straight?
I am using a Wacom tablet too, and I am drawing in Photoshop CS2, but I have problems with my lineart, because I cant get it straight enough.
Are you using some kind of toturial, if yes, witch one? x3

Lineart is the most stressful part for me xD

Some people use the pen tool but I don't know how to and it looks a lot more time consuming. But it is a VERY neat way to create lineart.
