This tutorial is great :3 I hope it will help me improve *.* Really...my ability at Photoshop is laughable

On a side note...how do you manage such beautiful lineart? I would really like to learn how to do it... A few tips would do, or if you're planning to make another tutorial...well I would request lineart...

XD you know, i cannot do lineart, either! i just draw my picture then retrace it on another paper nicely by either tracing paper or using a light box. (i don't like tracing paper so i rarely use it) then i just scan it in, adjust the brightness and contrast so that the black is fully black without it looking sharp. thats it. every now and then i go full out and use the pen tool...but that thing you really need practice for and its a major pain....so i stopped doing that. XD i don't know how to draw using a drawing wacom tablet.....eheheh, stillll working on that. i can barely write using a tablet.

just retrace your picture very nicely without smudgng it and scan at 300dpi and adjust the brightness and contrast! easy!

Oh bugger XD So then you're really good at inking. I always end up ruining my drawings whenever I try to do that.
Are your drawings very big then? So your marker won't bleed over the small details?

I should really get a lightbox myself XD Giving it a try wouldn't hurt.

I never really ink my line art. its all in plain pencil! and my drawings arn't much bigger then the size of a manga. occasionally i do manage to draw something big...like 8 inches tall and 5 inches wide....but i do tend to draw kinda medium to small sized. when i scan it tho it turns out big. i don't use pen for my lineart because i mess up EVERYTIME! my hand shakes slightly and the paper i use is pretty cheap...its literally crap paper. (NEVER BUY RECYCLED PAPER!!!!! NEVER NEVER NEVER!!!! it'll piss you off) if i do use pen i don't retrace it on a new paper... i just ink it directly on the drawing, then erase the pencil marks. I don't use anything special...just a regular 0.5 mechanical pencil and plastic eraser. getting a light box can indeed be very helpful when retracing pictures to prepare for cg. only problem is that it is bulky. there are flat light boxes but i'm sure they cost ALOT. if you can't afford a lightbox, tracing paper works just as well...just don't use any kind of ink on it because the ink doesn't dry immediatly... it takes a few seconds which is long enough for your finger to accidently smear over it. i would suggest learning to draw big, tho. less mistakes should you mess up.
