I have watched all your videos and they have helped tremendously! Each one of your vids taught me something new and you explained everything very well and answered so many of my questions! I could kiss you!!! Thank you so so much! Please show use more on PS and AI when you have time! Can't wait! ~ RATED: A+++
thanks i got it, but i still don't like the result, what you said on the video that you will make a tutorial on those dots,, i'm really looking forward to it, i really really need it, could you atleast reply on what you use to do that? is it smuggle or something else? cause i only have limited information about photoshop and illustrator. thanks again for all the help
@batangcoldfire Nah you just use Illustrator. The white and black arrow tools can be used to move the dots, which are refered to as anchor points, around. I never really mess with it cuz it's a real pain and a lot of work. Just experiment and you'll figure it out.
I just got illustrator but my manga lines in not really what i imagine it would be, as soon as i hit live trace some of my thin lines and very thin details disapeared, could you tell me how to work this out
@batangcoldfire As I said in the video, make sure your images are scanned in at 300dpi or higher. It provides better results because the image is larger and there is more data for Illustrator to work with.
@davidkerr4 It works on any image, but to varying degrees of success. If you're talking about trying it on pencil, the lines tend to come out all broken up and lumpy since it's detecting all the smudges and tiny marks that show up in the scan.
@TheCrooper Oh, well when you open the vector file in Photoshop, it automatically converts it into raster format so you work with it like a normal picture.
I never get tired of hearing people pronounce it "roster." Hehe. Anyway, good stuff. I should also mention that one can do all this stuff with free tools, such as GIMP and Inkscape just as well, for those of use who are not made of money. :)
Very interesting, I play around with levels for my ink work but never thought of using the burn or dodge tool to remove the screwed up bits. And never even considered opening illustrator to vector my comic pages. But this I will need to try that.
Is a tad different overall as I sketch/ink/color all on the computer but these tips I shall try and most likely use. Thank you for sharing.
thanks,your teachings are fantastic.No one else seems to explain about the dodge tool

I'm definitely going to try this. Would Live Trace work with non inked images? I rarely ink anymore.

Awesome!
But one question, how do you work with the vector art then, if you want to color it.
Can you just go on and color in photoshop?
Because then you draw again with pixels and not with vector, that's what I don'd get. I hope you understand my bad English, hehe x3
