Reiq's Corel Painter Tutorial- Line-art Part 1/2

[GreenMonkeyToaster]

Is it possible to turn the picture around without having one of those fancy cintiq tablets with the screen? Like, if I draw on traditional paper, I'll always spin it around to easier make the desired shapes/lines. Can you spin the canvas around in PS?

[wvhoblol]

I will try Painter for my linework now I think. I've always used PS, but this makes me want to try it.

[marcos13vinicius11]

why didn't you do everything in photoshop?Can't I do this with the photoshop brush?

[babiifrshj07]

@marcos13vinicius11 you probably can. I think he just wanted to show how to ink on Corel painter, but that's just my guess.

[wvhoblol]

@marcos13vinicius11 You can use PS to do all this, why couldn't you? He said he just prefers to use Corel for inking. A brush is a brush is a brush.

[YukiKishii]

Can anyone please explain the first few steps that he did? To make the pre-drawn lineart fade out and become a very light blue like that I mean. Please don't be mean just trying to learn.

[SEKOPASA]

@YukiKishii He is fading it out with lowering the layer opacity, and the blue thing happens from hue and saturation adjusting hue.

[venecochick09]

@SEKOPASA But why does he have three layers though? I mean one layer is the background and the other one is transparent......is he not supposed to copy and paste the original image to the other layer??

[MrEvilcannibal]

how do you rotate the image like that :O that would be so handy can someone get back to me on that :D

[babiifrshj07]

@MrEvilcannibal there's an option on the left hand side (depending on which version of Corel painter you're using) it looks like a 'refresh' button.

[AnimeLuver4778]

tablet or mouse?

[artstylejoe]

Does anyone know how to rotate the pen or Calligraphy tool in Corel Painter11?,,

[miarowson]

what is that song in the background? I'v heard it before somewhere. . . . . .  oh now I remember it was the song Torvill & Dean used in the 1984 Olympics. It was a great video. wonderful song.

[KyokoFujita]

She very beautiful. Lovely work. :)

...actually, it's a bit strange how she slightly reminds me of Pi from .hack//G.U. (except her hair is high pig tails). :o

[dg17quintero]

hey estaria bueno q alguien hiciera na de estas en español!! y de paso me resolviera una duda! como hace para q el traso quede en algunas partes muy grueso y otras delgadito??

[chachaandpowpow]

What resolution are you working at in painter in this video?

[amandapanda740]

I chose colored pencil for my medium, but that tool seems really pixelated and not pressure sensitive like my other tools such as my oils. It's not my resolution, because I have completed my sketch with shading quality and fine lines. Is this an issue with Corel? I am working on an Intuos 4 and using Painter 11. I am having difficulty also with getting that nice solid flowing curve when inking. Generally speaking I have a pretty steady hand, but my lines look weak and shaky! Any suggestions?

[miraxterrik]

How have your lines all those nice tails that narrow toward the end? I always have thick lines without tails. Is your tablet so much pressure sensitive? I only have Bamboo, but with that, i cant create anything like that. Or is it another setting? I'm working with PS, but i'm sure it is possible to have these tails theer as well, i just cant seem to figure out how:( And i dont want to use the damn pen tool, it takes forever with te curves and all.

[amandapanda740]

@miraxterrik It has to do with your pressure sensitivity. I have an Apple, and on my dashboard, if I go into my settings menu, at the bottom of that window there is a place to adjust settings on your tablet. Adjust the sensitivity on the slider bar there. If you up the sensitivity that should help unless you have a problem that doesn't have to do with a computer setting. You can go to Wacom's website as well to see if there are updates that could fix your problem.

[iHitLowest]

I only have Photoshop. Is drawing on it not the same as drawing on Corel Painter? :S

[calabaza001]

Hola reiq muy buen tutorial pero me gustaria saber a que resolución trabajas para que no se pixele y que pasa?? cuando el pincel que ocupo para hacer la lineart se pixela ... apreciaria mucho un poco de ayuda con eso.

Cariños Reiqws

[xSheinx]

@calabaza001 Me pregunto exactamente lo mismo. Reiq, qué resolución usas para un dibujo standar?

[JP1desu]

@xSheinx Creo que al principio dijo que coloca su dibujo escaneado sobre un lienzo tamaño A3 en Adobe photoshop

[dg17quintero]

@calabaza001 una imagen se trabaja a no menos de 300 dpi no se si era eso lo q preguntavas! xD

[GlinkoPlayman]

Funny thing is what i get the program after watching your pictures ;з

[Dablewable]

thx for uploading tutorial lol noobs like me need a place to go to learn :P

[PencilScratch]

00:32

How do you resize the picture without having it cropped.

[MrLmaoalexx]

Do you use a tablet?? I dont know if I should get one...

[Solidzak02]

How can I get smooth lines like that. mine are always jagged. It sucks

[calabaza001]

Hola Reiq, tus ilustraciones son hermosas y estoy recien ocupando corel painter X y tengo problemas para poder calibrar los pinceles sobretodo para dejarlos como tu en el tutorial ... q tengo q hacer para que mis pinceles no se pixelen :/????????

[Mikugumii]

Gotta try this program ^^

[Kasen717]

Hi, what type of tablet are you using? Do you ever draw directly onto photoshop? How long did drawing directly on the tablet take you to learn/master?

[lunatorra]

@MiSSxEMS lol completely missed my point, so nevermind.

[lunatorra]

@MiSSxEMS Its probably wrong because you're saying you'd prefer a creator to be anything other than what they are, which is insulting. Its like saying "I wish you wouldn't be yourself". Saying "I dont like his artwork" would've done the trick!

[iPROzFiction]

@MiSSxEMS Ah :D Just because someone draws women in an unrealistic manner, presented in situations you don't approve of, shouldn't mean it's insulting or degrading. I believe Reiq creates what HE wants to see, and that's all personal preference and has nothing to do with you or women. Doesn't mean he expects women to be something they're not, it's just what he likes... And that's EXACTLY what artwork should be about... What YOU like, not what everyone else likes and what will please them.

[lahhtoota]

How do you rotated it up side down???????

[F0B3Y]

for the brush are you using liquid ink? everytime i try using liquid ink the lines are not smooth and come out big

im using a wacom tablet not the ones that acts as a second monitor though.

if you could tell me what settings of brush you use it would help me a lot :) thank you

[goulter1985]

@F0B3Y I think its the cover pencil hes using. If you play around with the grain I think it should come out pretty smooth. Also just have paper set to plain paper, not canvas

[Phantasticc]

How'd you get the lines of the color pencil to be so smooth? Mine's tend to be pixely.

[sphelps1989]

which corel painter do you use m8 becasue i am looking for right softwere to do my artwork aswell ; )

[iiimissyouu]

uso photoshop, cuales son los valores de pincel que usas?

[TheMeowx]

are you using a tablet?

[SHiTJuFro743]

@MiSSxEMS so whatdya say, friends?

Cuz we really cluttered up the comments section of this video lol.

[SHiTJuFro743]

@MiSSxEMS lol, yes, i see the difference. :)

I'm not one to say NICE TITS btw, I usually trip out on how he draws the faces before the chest area.

(Because that's what i have the most difficulty drawing about girls)

Sooo..... size D, huh?

JK

[SHiTJuFro743]

@MiSSxEMS Well, if you've seen the life art work he has on his website and are still stuck on what you see, then sure, i don't care, see art how you want it. It's open to interpretation after all.

Agree to disagree....?

Agreed

[SHiTJuFro743]

@MiSSxEMS rofl, i had a feeling you would take it that way. :P

Big boobs on a drawing are fine.

(And you would know they are bad because of some sort of back problem, perhaps?)

Have you notice that he doesn't just do these comic book looking drawings either, he has 'life' drawings too.

In those the girls are usually less cartoony, more realistically proportionate, and don't have giant breasts.

Check those out before you criticize all his works.

This is more like sexual PRAISE of women,btw.

[SHiTJuFro743]

@MiSSxEMS Not entirely. I actually understand where it is your coming from. I've seen some japanese drawings on here where the sexual extremities of the girls drawn were grossly disproportionate.

I guess what I'm getting at is that you can do a lot worse than REIQ. I also understand that bodies aren't as perfectly in tuned as in drawings where imagination takes hold, but you generally don't want to draw boring, slightly chunky girls either....

REIQ is pretty middle of the road.

[joselito9502]

hey amigo..............haga uno en español para que yo pueda entender

[SHiTJuFro743]

@MiSSxEMS Some works of his are less....raunchy than others; but i still like what he does a lot. Even if it's the ones with topless chicks lying down on a sofa with her legs open. Although I'm not too big on his drawings on the JigglyGirls site, I still like his work. (sexual cows might be pushing it a little, i am a guy...)

A lot of my respect for him also draws from the fact that his work is what I'm learning from when it comes to drawing female body.

[blackredJazz]

Hi Reiq!

Video tuts are very good and helpful especially that I'm migrating a bit to Painter from Photoshop.

I have a bit of a problem in Painter though, every time I'm rotating the canvas, I just accidentally tap the stylus a bit and then it returns into normal view. The same thing when dragging the canvas around. Is there a way to disable the "return to default view" when just accidentally tapping the stylus on. Hope you can rep to this, BIG THANKS.

[Hunnker]

Hey dude! Amazing video!

I have just a few questions for you:

How do you rotate your drawing? & Are you using for inking a predefined brush or you created one for you, and if so, can you tell me the settings?

Thanks a lot in advance!! And keep doing videos so useful as this ones!!

[G0th4ki]

hola, can you tell me your brush configuration? i downloaded the program and dont know how to put it :(

[frostmare11]

just got wacom short while ago and nice work on this one ill be posting my work here soon since I didnt use a scan drawing for my work. drop by and let me know. I use a different style of work.

[j0angel]

Love your drawings and sketches. Please keep them coming! Gracias.

[mannamation]

Do you get any lag when you rotate with the wacom? I tried rotating in PS CS 4 and the brush would lag so much it would be impossible to work. I am running a high powered AMD with a high speed gaming video card from Radeon 5600 I think. I would switch to painter if I can use the rotation effectively.

[blackredJazz]

you make it look so easy but when i start doing it the output sucks

[SHiTJuFro743]

why can't reiq do more art like this.

i was all O.o when i saw his hentai. kind of disturbed that that's what he does for money.

[reiqws]

@SHiTJuFro743 Everybody have a dark side... and cookies.

[SHiTJuFro743]

@reiqws haha, i suppose so.

Keep on doing what your doing man, it's great. I'm learning to draw girls like yours (except just with pencils).

Peace, and much love

[blackredJazz]

@SHiTJuFro743 uhmm. . .yeah, you're that was a bit disturbing, OH well! This tutorial of his is one of the best so I really can't complain as well.

[SHiTJuFro743]

@blackredJazz hahaha, yeah, i actually am teaching myself to draw like him. So i was like "wtf, you had that drawing with clothes on before, now it's covered in jizz!"

but i got over that.

[TheGeckoNinja]

@SHiTJuFro743 youd be surprised at how many artist have to resort to that kinda art to make money, because its the biggest money maker as an unemployed artist

[SHiTJuFro743]

@TheGeckoNinja Yeah, I can see how that makes sense. If you ever see it for yourself, you'll be all o__O too. Because a lot of them will have characters in another drawing, except now also with a bunch of freaky sex toy stuff, weird demon things, a bunch of dicks, and are covered in jizz. If you haven't seen it yet, you should.

[TheGeckoNinja]

@SHiTJuFro743 oh ive seen it, ive even drawn it XD

like him i do commissions and most people who commission me ask for weird stuff like that....mainly sonic characters >_o

but thats the price of a starving artist

[117ty]

@SHiTJuFro743

Hey man, it's a business just like anything else. Besides, compared to some of the other freelance hentai artists out there, Reiq's stuff is pretty tame.

[BeautyFromTheBeach]

My fill bucket is all messed up. All my lines are closed. So now every time I try to fill in this one circle..The WHOLE page turns black..This never happened before..So what do I do?

[reiqws]

@BeautyFromTheBeach check for open areas or the setting in the top menu.

[FMAFMAFMAyaoi]

thoses lines...so beautiful...what brush is that? D:> I don't have that! I can't seem to make my lines so...smooth. ;-;

[Rdenairius1991]

is this photoshop?

[JMDurden]

@Rdenairius1991 No. It's Corel Painter.

[sybercat6]

@Rdenairius1991 Corel painter.

[kwratster]

so did u do the original pic on the tablet or did u use a scanner so scan it on the comp.

[Sieg2k6]

What settings do you have your Cover Pencil at to make it ink so nicely?

I cant seem to get mine the same. XD

[ravedragon]

since he's using corel painter, the brush i found to use is: theres two boxes in the upper right. left one should be colored pencil. right one should be cover pencil. two different things the options for the brush i have is: dab type;circular. stroke type:single method;cover subcategory;soft cover opacity 100% espression pressure. then i went to edit, pref, and brush tracking and made sure my brush was workign correctly. if anyone has a better setting , do share =]

[animeorcarina2]

YOUR GOING TO FAST HOW CAN THIS POSSIBILY BE A TUTORIAL

[HaKuBoMb]

this is only mouse movement?

[ShinobiElite1]

ever since i saw your drawings i was hooked, i have been working day in and day out to become as good an artist as you are, though it's been an immense struggle and almost frustrating couple of days, i will keep going until I can draw as well as you, you are truly amazing and you have my utmost respect... thanks for being my inspiration :)

[SHiTJuFro743]

@ShinobiElite1 have you seen his work on jigglygirls, it's a bit different.

[mhollis1989]

do you know how to lift line art with corel, like to get just the line art and a clear background?

[chrismcraven]

Do you use a tablet or a tactil monitor?

[MassFragment]

damn reiq, you are ultra badass.

[mrpixelator]

I've been doing art professionally since the 80's (mostly digital) and you sir, are goddamned GOOD. My hat is off, thanks for an informative video.

[SuddenAttack3]

isnt this photoshop

[kitsunechan90]

@SuddenAttack3 no. this is corel painter. Photoshops ui is different looking and alot less cooler.

[kanenav]

wat rosolution do u use?

[reiqws]

@kanenav paper A3 Resolution 300 dpi :D

[beyo2120]

@reiqws so...you do the line art in corel and them the color in cs3? what bvrush stroke are you using to cfolor on colored pencil like the outline?

[EDDIEinWAR]

@reiqws im new at this, how do you make a "paper A3 Resolution 300 dpi" i have corel painter 11 and when i go to "New" and all i get is "ppi" and "pixels by CM", but no dpi option :(

please help me

[khimeraQ]

Thanks for the lessons. I just got a Wacom and Corel Painter and I was surprised you used the same program.

[Beemanq]

Hi. I figured that lots of you here are interested in art, so you maybe someone will be able to help me. I have a major issue with pixels when inking my drawings. I have used photoshop, corel, SAI, even Autodesk Sketchbook and every time the lines are either too jagged or too blurry, there are some problems with pressure too. I have Wacom Bamboo.I've tried smoothing options, various resolutions and nothing seems to help. Does anyone know how to fix it? Maybe it's a graphics card issue?

[kitsunechan90]

@Beemanq I set mine to 2000 x 2000 to ignore this issue..but, when I zoom out at certain points it has jagged edges, just because technology is dumb haha. I dont think it would be a graphics card issue. Also, in photoshop, do u draw with the pencil tool or brush tool? Only thing i can think of that would be the problem is the pencil has pointy jagged edges while having a soft brush is blurry. Also the resolution could be the problem. setting it at 2000 by 2000 on pixels should do the trick.

[Beemanq]

@kitsunechan90 THAT TOTALLY DID THE TRICK! Thanks!

[kitsunechan90]

@Beemanq No problem!!!! :D!

[melody0714]

isn't that just tracing??

[PantyToaster]

@melody0714

No. Every artist these days for digital art will make a sketch before doing solid ink so that they know what they will do for the final details. Then they often ink- following along their sketch to make it less scratchy and more color-able, and altogether refined. 'Tracing,' means tracing someone else's art. Inking is deepening and furthering solid detail to art before adding color--- usually.

[reiqws]

@melody0714 I think it's called inking since it's my drawing in pencils that I'm inking.

[TheMasscox]

@melody0714 (<.<) i see wat u did thar. :P

[nightcrawler55]

@melody0714 chasing amy?? XD

[ihopeutubedies]

how do you rotate the picture?

[reiqws]

@ihopeutubedies press E in Corel Painter.

[talicadk]

@reiqws u know how in Photoshop ?

[fuaxe]

@reiqws Is this Corel Painter X?

[mskiara18]

I wish I had a Wacom :( It's much harder since I don't have a mouse. It'll make drawing so much easier for me.

[hlnl56]

@mskiara18 You can get a smaller Wacom for around $70 and maybe even cheaper on Amazon.com. It's a great investment.

[mskiara18]

I've been looking around for one ever since I made this comment for one that price. I should check out Amazon to. Thanks for the tip :)

[DeathsEdge0900]

@mskiara18 get a bamboo wacom there not that bad on price

[mskiara18]

I'm planning to, I found one that's a decent price. Thank you though. :)

[jojosjuaninha]

@mskiara18 u mean since u only have mouse, yeah i know what u mean, after i get my intuos 4 large, ill never again live without it, its like a boyfriend lol

[yukisamaakatsuki10]

Primero hay tenemos que dibujar a mano para luego scanearlo y darle color con el photoshop? lo siento... apenas soy una principiante

[tutospol]

Eres español, verdad? Tu inglés es mucho más que correcto, y mushisimas grácias por el tutorial!

[gretsus]

la tabla le da mucha ventaja , yo uso una genius comun y corriente y es un poco mas dificil , de igual manera gracias por el tutorial me ayudo bastante! :)

[WindsRemix]

hola como estas, tengo una pregunta de donde descargaste el corel? o.o

[leadmare]

Wow, that's awesome :D I still have a long way to go before I can do perfect and flowing lines =P

[punkpunk123321]

why is your line perfect and my pencil has squars thingys .... it doesn't go straight .

[mysticwolf2015]

Where are you from?you have a unique accent!!I like it!!

[smallsam52]

How are you rotating the canvas fast like that?

[evilmurderproduction]

wow

[StanleyArcane]

Corel Painter looks way more fluent for line art! photoshop is too restricting, even with a wacom imo

[AnniBelialSigurd]

Very helpful thanks for uploading this =)

[DrJayroy]

Reiq could you let me know the settings for your cover pencil?

Like, size, opacity, grain, resat, bleed, and jitter?

The video resolution isn't good enough to tell just by looking at the video.

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work.

[gothicanimeangel96]

did you say you where using the coloured pencil? mine doesnt look like that at al, it looks all grainy

[YourDarkAccomplice]

LOL men and their "big breasted" fantasies. -.-;;

*sighs exasperatedly as she tolerates the shallow intent behind the lovely artwork*

I think I understand the program mechanics a lot better now. Thanks.

[AutumnLeafiffy]

do you like corel painter better than photoshop for coloring and lineart?

[MrSyerthrix]

so, you're always using the brush? not any other tool for line-art?

[tabicat91]

This isn't really a tutorial.... just a watch me be awesome and amazing.....

Cuz there's no way I could do that lol.

It's incredible, you are very gifted.

[YouMangArt]

what settings did you use on the cover pencil?

[mysticwolf2015]

How do you make the lines so....not shaky and wavy.....mine are always like that...and I use a Wacom tablet too!!Any tips?PLEASE I NEED HELP!! Also,You are an amazing artist!!I wish you luck!

[Izaac7719]

Reiq, the lines are very clean in this picture. What size is the canvas? I usually have my canvas at around 12" x 18", and when I zoom as close as you do in the movie, my lines are slightly fuzzy/pixelated. 

[Ginazx]

Omg this music was in nodame cantabile (i think ?_?) -random

[015berto]

wow! youre great!

you can use your mouseeven in the corel?,,, so fast?,,

[TheGuasimo]

lol scanned on photoshop jajajajajajajaja

[TheCaptianLexi]

What size pen and what pressure settings are you using on your tablet? :D

[gennak2200]

Are you using ordinary mouse for that?

[reiqws]

@gennak2200 Wacom 12wx 

[dermis89]

@reiqws yeah thats very good. though where the hell does under 18 person get the money for it :D

[TemariNara97]

[SEZwho94]

He's using Corel Painter

[mamorimas]

hola reiq una preguntota a cuantos pixeles de resolución recomiendas exportar el psd para el entintado digital de una ilustración?. Por que muchas veces se me traba mi compu y se pone muy lenta.

saludos!

[punkpunk123321]

wooow your amazing ..... your brush is like perfect .... how did you make your liner stright without cracks?



[emobeater16]

what is the music playing?

[dajapa]

can u dowload brushes for photoshop elements 6.0 ?

btw was that fullmetal alchemist soundtrack 0.o

[wenchang13]

Hey Reiq. Amazing work and inspiring tutorial/ Just a quick question: I know you use Cover Pencil to do digital inking, but in many places I have discovered people recommend the Scratchboard Tool for Digital Inking, what made you go for the Cover Pencil instead? thanks!

[SerenadeTheCity]

how can i set up the pressure sensitivity for my wacom tablet? it wont work!

[dajapa]

@SerenadeTheCity hmmm this happened with my tablet too. Just uninstall ur wacom program and reinstall it, perhaps that's ur prob

[spidereine]

im downlaoding a trial for this now, to give it a go :D thanks for making ^^ what brush did u use for the lineart?

[sephonica]

You can separate the background layer just by select all then float.

[NVOClothing]

alguien me puede decir que lápiz usar para hacer las lineas como lo hace reiqws?

se ve que las puntas son finas y no muy pastoso.....gracias se los agradecería mucho.......

[lixandrocordero]

@NVOClothing si esto fuero a un tutorial el lo explicara, pero solo es un show off...asi que ni te esfuerzes...nada de datos tecnicos.....

[hackerMCS]

podrias hacer este video de como dibujar con corel painter en español porfa....

[Jigsawlacrimosa]

I have a Genius G-Pen 560 of 4.5'' x 6''... my question is How good is a Wacom tablet that mine? or Are the same?

Sorry for my english i speak spanish jeje.

Tengo una Genius G-Pen 560, mi pregunta es ¿que tan buena es una tableta Wacom a la que yo tengo? o ¿es lo mismo?

[elangelx]

@Jigsawlacrimosa eres idiota o que ?? .. nunca se comparan .. una genius parece de juguete comprarada con una wacom !!!

[baricot15]

@elangelx  :D Yeah!

[Jigsawlacrimosa]

@elangelx gracias chavo pero necesito una respuesta no ofensiva digo... ya que estoy pensando en comprarme una y necesito que sus diferencias aparte de la sencibilidad y todo eso jajaja pero gracias

[sporonkubik1]

@davidvmarques1988

Thanks a lot :)

[sporonkubik1]

Probably a ridiculous question but how do you rotate the canvas fast like that without going to edit etc...

[Blokheadz]

i have both the corel draw and wacom bamboo tablet.. trying figure out wat settings for my tablet to draw and paint

[sporonkubik1]

You need corel painter not corel draw. corel draw is vector software and for graphics more than painting.

Corel painter X usually is distributed with wacoms, it's similar to what he's using which i guess is corel painter11

[Pinoymak]

hard learning at the net wew

[bottledscarab]

Could I ask what version of Corel Painter you're using? I used to have Corel Painter Essentials downloaded when it came with my Wacom tablet about 5 years ago, but I wasn't sure if that version was even considered a good version to use.

[kaybabe254]

Yeah this is my question too. I want to get a Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet, which comes with Corel Painter Essentials 4. Can I ask you if you liked your version? I want to be able to sketch on a program, and then color in my sketches to make them look more realistic. All my computer has in Paint, and that's a joke for coloring. I want an at least adequate Photoshop-esque program without spending hundreds of dollars on actual Photoshop.

[Moncheir]

Hey I just got the Corel painter and I was wondering how you got your lines so smooth. I used the covered pencil to sketch but my lines come out very "pixley" What settings did you use to get your lines like that?

[utterlyherolike]

Rezise it.

[Kakutachi]

how do u turn the canves like this?

[popsmith511]

whut tablet did you use?

[Takrezz]

@popsmith511

wacom intuos 3

[founder3]

Forgive me if this is already posted. But, what type of pad do you use? Wacom or some other type?

[cloudyskye06]

Around 00:05 it say "Hardware: Wacom Intuos 3" =]

[founder3]

lol, knew i would miss it somewhere, i was combing the comments for that :P

[MrChikkooo]

can u tell me where is the tracing tool plzz
