I believe Illustrator is the best software for inking once you learn how to use it. I show you the settings to starting inking like a pro. It gives you the best smooth lines in the world.

BecomeArtToday.com will be up soon. You can be turned into art. You can have your face put on any character, including your World of Warcraft character. Or you can get a drawing or painting of your WOW character, or any other game character.

When I make lines with my Wacom tablet it controls how dark the line is rather than the thickness which is what I want. Anyone know how to fix this?

@xmattx343 Go to brush settings and change them. Go to shape dynamics, and set it to pen pressure.

Neil, are you having an easier time inking with your Cintiq as opposed to your Intuos? Because this is still my biggest issue... inking smooth lines. Illustrator helps, but I constantly run into the problem of having to connect a super thin line with another line I wasn't able to stroke in one movement.

Oh, man, so much easier. I might just ink with Painter now.

One of the best comparison videos and setting explanation on how to set brush settings I've seen yet on youtube. I used to ink with PS, to much lagg and jaggy lines and was going to buy Manga Studio, think I'm sticking with illo cs3 for now. thanks

@absn80 jpg are usually terrible for artwork. I normally go png because it gives much much better quality. jpg lowers the quality each time you save it.

@absn80 You could try saving as a png or sadly, a larger file type like a tif. I learned from another video you can rasterize effects(?)> rasterize. Have 300 px selected and select the art sampling. Then you export it to Photoshop and save as png. My line art came out pretty crisp.

I followed the steps,great one!!but when I try to save as JPEG it reduces the quality,plz tell me how to save as JPEG with best quality,no matter what I do quality is compromised after saving..plz....
