How To: Digital Line Art in Photoshop(not elements) Tutorial

[komikero008]

great tut! :) and what kind of brush did you use? did you adjust the brush presets? thanks in advance

[CaliberMengsk]

@komikero008 I just used the regular soft brush, no changed presets. The key is using a big stroke with smoothing, and then a small brush without smoothing. This creates the ink like effect. It gets thicker in the middle of lines, and thinner at the edges, but keeps a solid line so that it's not see through at parts. It's an amazing effect if the lines are decent.

It would have been a good tutorial if you could talk rather than add everything in damn caption's

I hate these f'ing videos that focus more on the special effects than on teaching you the subject! These people are IDIOTS!!!!! When you went to math class or english, or history did the f'ing teachers blast the damn room with music & just point around?!!! God this person is such an asshole!!

[CaliberMengsk]

@quantumpolice O-o if you read the annotations, they tell you what I did every step of the way so that you would know how to do it. Unless your ranting about someone else, chill.

Umm, I'm kind of new to photoshop, and I'm having some issues with the pen tool.

When I click on a point and then click on another point, depending on the color I have selected, that color will fill itself in between the two points to where I can't see the stuff behind it.

I'd like to use the pen tool the way I see you using it, but i'm not sure if I have to put certain settings on before I use it.

T__T help?

[SpaZMediA77]

@SpaZMediA77 Lol,........ +_+ Nevermind... I figured it out

[CaliberMengsk]

@SpaZMediA77 Even though you solved it, I'm going to say it in case someone finds this on google. After you have the pen tool selected, in the top left of the screen (the toolbar that goes across the top) there are a few icons. You had it set to the shape or some may call solids option. This draws a solid vector based on the color. I had it set to the path option. I probably should have shown that in the video or something. I may just go through and redo some of my videos with voice sometime.

cool vid man!What is the song called by the way?

[CaliberMengsk]

Unfortunately, I don't know the song XD It was one of the songs in the Audio Swap option of youtube. It just happened to match the length of the video, and I like how it sounded. O-o I tried to figure it out by going through some of the songs they have, but I didn't find it again... Sorry. O-o I would tell you if I could remember.
