[WinDamien]

@NetraToraken Not true

[leandro50able]

nowadays the cientifict invent the digital table

[mikeoug]

I think its much easier in Illustrator to do that...

[shadowkunai12]

how come when i try this technique i dont get smoth lines, but mroe pixely like lines.

[00SOSNewbie00]

@shadowkunai12 You should use high  resolution canvas, around 5.000x5.000px.

[shadowkunai12]

thanks~!

[jellybaby86]

@00SOSNewbie00 I had this issue as well but how do I higher the resolution on my canvas?

I'm new to Digital Inking. Thank you.

[officerM1911]

cool technique. but I would take way to long for a comic or a project with a tight deadline. I will keep it in my box of tricks though

[Optics233]

Interesting vector method of inking. I tend to agree that a tablet with hand made strokes looks a little more natural though.

[habzuAQ]

time to get photoshop

[SanguinaryLegitimacy]

...THIS TAKES FOREVER. You can get the same grade of line with faster techniques... ^^;

[FiendofDA]

cool vid thanks for it!

[shugo207]

why dont u just get a wacom pen tablet?? haha makes this MUCH easyer and its pretty fun to use, im a begginner and have a wacom bamboo right now, but i eanna get a cintq soon lol

[00SOSNewbie00]

@shugo207 I have a Wacom Cintiq 21UX.

[XxTooHyperxX]

@00SOSNewbie00 omfg I heard that those are expensive O_O how much did it cost?

[00SOSNewbie00]

@XxTooHyperxX The new Wacom Cintiq cost 2000US$. 2000€ for Europeans.

[XxTooHyperxX]

@00SOSNewbie00 Woahhhh....So expensive I guess I'll just get the Wacom Bamboo tablet >_<

[Mrthestyle1]

@00SOSNewbie00 wacom intuos 4 its much less expensive

[Hazzrine]

@00SOSNewbie00 but Wacom didn't think about the British and made us pay in Euros :(

[Extremegerbil]

@Hazzrine Thats because they are fuckers and deserve to die

[donaldgrump]

@Hazzrine ya they did lol

[PlanetVerdia]

Dude..How long did this dog tracing take you? Isn't it faster in illustrator?

[00SOSNewbie00]

@PlanetVerdia I hate vectorial tools for drawing in Illustrator, I prefer Photoshop, it gives me more control and the interface is friendly and easy enough to start inking even if you have no idea about Photoshop.

Anyway, just a personal preference :)

[PlanetVerdia]

@00SOSNewbie00 I'm a big fan of Photoshop. I've been playing around with it for over 10 years. I do love photoshop more, than illustrator. And to be honest, I'm not a big fan of vectorial tools myself. Even though I hate illustrator, it does have it's advantages. Like tracing cartoons is faster and easier in illustrator, but I totally hear you on the "personal preference". Photoshop is easier for me too.

[andhong73]

how much that cost of wacom tablet in US dollars???????

[bleedman01]

Is there a shortcut key to fill the path?

cuz I have to constantly press right click (on my mouse or wacom pen)to bring out the fill path menu and click ok which kinda annoys me.

[00SOSNewbie00]

@bleedman01 Sorry buddy, I don´t know any shorcut to fill path in Photoshop. Anybody does?

[monkeybonecola]

@00SOSNewbie00 Make an action for filling the path, then bind it to a key of your choice! That would be the best solution...if there isn't a keyboard shortcut, make one!

[madbab00n]

wow using a tablet saves soomich time -.- than using the pen tool

[dragames]

How are you even using the pen tool to make lines that thick is my question

[00SOSNewbie00]

@dragames sorry buddy, I don´t understand your question.

[dragames]

What I don't get is how you're using the cutout tool like that. Everytime I do it it keeps adding on and blacking in whole huge black areas.

[dragames]

@dragames pen*

[zodiacr]

english please!

[Chriscon20]

seriously for inking go illustrator by far easier if you have a tablet with illustrator

[minatamisnatutong]

yah. agree with you. I use illustrator for inking.

[AridSea]

seriously? a neopet?

[supernova0987]

i agree that the pen tool is a really difficult to get the hang of, but i imagine when i understand it better it will be awesome

[DavinDaGeek]

Actually, the pen tool is easier to use than a lot of people think =) I Remember when I didn't know how to use it at all, it drove me nuts, until one day I seen that I was doing it wrong. and I was all like, oh my god, what the hell. This tool is so easy to use xD and now I've been using it ever since, I think I made a really easy howto video on it that helped a ton of people. lol but yeah, don't worry, you'll get the hang of it.

[carlettov]

doesn't it work?

[jonasveee]

difficult to master and hard to use is now called retarded? just practice, man. Pen tool is awesome, just gotta make yourself use it.

[TheApplePieMonster]

Does photoshop elements have the pen tool, because I cant find it D=

[natechaters]

i think so

[supernova0987]

soz but no it doesnt

[enemay]

I absolutely hate the pen tool its retarded, feels so mechanical I'd rather commit suicide than ink in that method, Oy.

[Souless144]

I thought so too at first but it's quite handy when you get the hang of it c8 especially in long straight lines

[natechaters]

me too

[fabian180graus]

no. u're wrong. only are RETARDED, the people DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE IT.

[enemay]

your right, your superior intelligence shines trough your kind words.

[Whiteoverblue]

En vez de hacer un montón de líneas rectas, para luego revisitarlas, y encurvarlas... ¿porque no mejor encurvarlas en el momento en el que las haces? Es mas fácil, y requiere menos esfuerzo, en mi opinion.

[00SOSNewbie00]

Yo creo que así se invierte menos tiempo ya que las curvas de los puntos intermedios se crean automáticamente.

En cualquier caso es una preferencia personal.

[M0man]

Jesus, Time consuming much?

Just use illustrator and a tapered brush.

[AMYuntold]

I did a whole 70 pages comic this way and i...

...almost broke at the end, but it was worth it, it's beautiful and looks everywhere the way i wanted.

[dejakhalz]

Sounds intresting, got a link of it somewhere?

[AMYuntold]

If you followed my channel info you COULD see it, but i'm 99.999% sure don't want to see it, it has a very 'special' topic for a very 'special' audience.

[dejakhalz]

Hey relax, you don't know me, Im a professional 2d concept artist who is interested in almost every passionate work.

We are all special you know ;)

[martinkaby]

this surely is one of the lamest way to do inking :/ gives the drawing no life at all. i mean it works on some stuff but inking a full drawing. id suggest going back to the brush.

[LONGSHOTfilmes]

we do inking so we can color it and texturize it so it can get surreal effects and an intense feel of realism, and color richness brother :)

[martinkaby]

though that docent change the fact that my thought is that path inking is rather lifeless

[alexyarzijan]

the problem of this technique is its VERY TIME CONSUMING. you will spend a lot of time making this inking this way in photoshop ( much more than the traditional way), with no quality diference.

[00SOSNewbie00]

Yes its time consuming but no matter how clean are your inks or how good is your scanner that you wont get a inking so clean.

Also you have all the advantages of digital mediums... you can undo the mistakes, play with history palette, use a very high res canvas...

[FriSmash]

WOW! Than you thank you thank you!

[Lrak1193]

ok now my good pencil drawings can look computerized and not coloured on photoshop with pencil outlines lol ty

[corbin720]

nice and clean... mmmmmm

[Ladybird6833]

I like it. You are doing it slow and understandable for newbeginners. Thankts a lot.

[XxCanineBlackRosesxX]

ugh every time I use the pen tool it makes a thicker line each time I click on were I want it

any tips?

[XxCanineBlackRosesxX]

OMG very cool!! I wanna try this!

[Dargkvexa]

this is very helpful, thank you

[purplebananamonkey]

niiiiice, i'm so bad at that, i think i'm just going to stick with the stuff i'm good at..

[LondonForever75]

The pen tool isn't as bad a s it seems. There are some very good 3-4 min tuts on here that explains it all. I can use it really well now and it's all down to just watching the tuts.

I gave up on the pen tool then discovered those tutorials, i haven't looked back since and has made illustrator and photoshop 10x better.

[ForcastKarl]

ZOMG! i have GOT to learn how to do this! i usually skip the pen tool, but after seeing this? man oh MAN!

[alexandroschm]

this....is ....PAINFULL

[zephroth]

yeah the pen tool is painfull. however it creats neat strait lines. It is great for work on logo's and other design features you cant aford a wiggly line on.

[gogocartoon11]

Hi grreat video I have cartoon character they are call the eyes i want to make my character dance with me in the middel if you watch my vide you would see thery look human but they are not i

[BlueAuraWolf]

Very talented. And a great idea. I always end up going over lines, then erasing, then repeating the same monotonous process over and over again. I'm going to test this one out. I'll let you know how it pans out. =]

Ciao.

[gino454]

inking with the pen takes mad skill..i can't get the basics with the anchor points and stuff then get frusterated and give up...what is one tip to give me a better understanding to the pen tool

[00SOSNewbie00]

Just practice :)

[yusuftercero]

Gracias tio, eres el puto amo, me has ayudado muchísimo.

[hoyun]

thanks for the nice tutorial. This save me a lot of time dealing with the anchor point. Like before, i was doing the anchors one by one in order, which it's frustrating when the final stroke didn't come out smooth.

[Agente00Minina]

i love your style!

funny dog xD

oh and... thanks for the information!

[RaffnsQ]

Thanks! You just inspired me to start drawing. You make awesome art!

[00SOSNewbie00]

Hello: bscapr, you replied yourself.

This method is good for modulated lines, if you need thin and plain lines you can use stroke path.

Cheers.

[bscapr]

You know you can just stroke the path instead of fitting it to the existing sketch. I mean, your method gives you more control but it becomes insane when your sketch doesn't have big lines.

[YouChoobDude]

btw im newb and i wanna try it

[YouChoobDude]

cool you doubled it!

[willobeen]

great job, but the line width is anomalous. Everything has a nice variation to it, but some areas (such as the spike on his collar) have extremely small lines compared to the rest of the drawing.

[poliolo]

nice tut
