Lineart and Coloring Skin on openCanvas

I was bored so I decided to make a tutorial using my lead character from my manga 'Breathless', her name is Akira. Anyways, It was soooo hard to record and draw at the same time. I was using CamStudio to record this. I was beginning to become really frustrated when I couldn't get smooth lines like I usually do, instead, I was getting hard square-ish lines due to CamStudio.

Anyways I hope this helps you some what.

And if you were wondering, the first song is Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, by The Beatles and the second song is Middle of the Night, by Sherwood. Yepp I am such a hippie :D.

Thanks for Watching!

@VanityPerfection i've been having trouble with my open canvas(1.1) (i've tried 4.5 and had the same problem), when ever i zoom in on my drawings they pixelate(heavily), i've seen in many other videos involving open canvas (including yours) that when they zoom in, it doesn't really pixelate at all, can u help me?

@ICEtheTIGER

It's possible that your resolution is set to too low. If this is the problem, make sure that when you create a new canvas that the resolution is set to at least 2000 by 2000.

so did u use the stroke path techniques with the pen tool

[VanityPerfection]

No, I didn't. Actually I just used the pen/pencil tool. I also used my tablet which was a big help :D.

Maybe it would be a good idea to type down what 'tools' you used in the description :)
