what's ur DA?

Also! You could just put your layer with the lines on "multiply"....... although that may affect your ability to colourise them

[BadMohawk]

Yo! I have a question! You know that horrible grey shit you see between black lines and colour? Or in a gradient from black to a colour? Well if you select the black you use you will notice that it's levels are - (C-0 M-0 Y-0 K-100) and if you change that black to (C-100 M-100 Y-100 K-100) you will get a perfectly smooth transition with none of that grey shit in between, it's like two completely different blacks! Now i have to figure out how to change the CMYK levels of my scanned lines? Anyone?

[BadMohawk]

I could send you an image of what im talking about if you like? you can kind of see it there in my profile pic...... try doing 2 different gradients yourself with those two different blacks

[BadMohawk]

Hey i got it! Use the "lock transparency box" on the lines layer, and simply fill it with the full black (C-100 M-100 Y-100 K-100) and you will see beautifully black lines with no grey shit in between! Beautiful!

do u have black people skin tones?

You are a life saver with your tutoring. I mainly draw on paper and seldom ink but, now since you have to be flexible with everything I am thankful for your insight.

are you using a wacom tablet? or any other graphic tablet for this image? Because when i do my stuff i tend to just paint everything in manually, its time consuming but i prevents those white lines.

[architectus777]

@lonSinceInsane I use a Wacom. A faster way, is to outline what you want to color, then use the magic wand tool, then make an action that expands the selection by 2-4 pixels, then fills in with forground color. In a new video about coloring comics, I show this method.

[laggerjoe]

hey bro im gonna sound stupid here but when i load the lare pic in and start to select with the wand and shift key and press on the face it is selecting the whole pic and also when i zoom in the pic the lines start to break up, also where can i find the brushes your using..:)

[architectus777]

@laggerjoe I used standard brushes. Hard round brush with size and opacity set to pen pressure. Hard brush with size set to pen pressure. Soft brush with opacity set to pen pressure.

Did you go to select color range, and choose white, and hit delet, so that you have only lines on a transparent layer?

[architectus777]

Did you leave your name and e-mail? If so, I sent ya the brushes. If you didn't get them, please message me again with your e-mail and name. Be sure to check spam, but I'm not sure why my e-mail would go there, but you never know.
