  • you sound like fry from futurama

  • @kingjoeg Thanks King! I think I sound like a ten year-old, so I'm moving on up. :)

  • two inquiries:

    - how did you manage to scan your work in and get the project to literally a white background and black art. regardless of how i import work, it's always a grey background and darker grey work regardless of the paper being white and ink being black. all tutorials seem to start out with this already fixed if there is a fix.

    - ...how the fuck do you have a rainbow menu bar?! want.

  • @gotafacelikemurderx Howdy Face o' Murder!

    If you scan black & white, the scanner gets to choose what stays and goes. If you choose grayscale you do. At first a grayscale scan will look muddy and gross, but if you bring it into Photoshop you can hit adjustments > levels to bring up the contrast. Poof! Magic clean scans. (I did this art digitally though too, for extra clean lines.)

    And the menu bar is an option in OSX, under Desktop. My wallpaper is the rainbow and is peeking through.

  • @WaterMedia How did you get the contour lines to differ in width? did you have to trace it twice to give the outline some style?

  • @mirenlotayo I'm using a Wacom drawing tablet. This allows the pressure of my pen to create the thickness of a stroke. Highly recommended for digital inking!
