:bravo:

i actually wondered about colored pictures from your first post in this thread.

do you have any advice about scanning your drawings (I might as well do it with my own, so just wondering)

:wave:

Zentron

Jun 30, 2007, 18:15

Oh, right :p :blush:

I draw the lines you see, then I colour in Photoshop.

Always scan in colour, that's the most important thing, have the res setting as high as your scanner can go(I usually scan at 1200dpi), making modifications to the size options of course. Then when you've got the image in your colouring program(hopefully not MS Paint), delete the RGB channel, then magenta, change the image to Greyscale, then back to RGB. That'll get rid of any unwanted colour levels, and is good if you use blue pencils for the initial sketching(I don't though).

*O*

Really nice!! You are very talented and I see you've tried a lot of different drawing styles and they all look great!! I hope to get as good as you with Photoshop..I'm on the basics right now...

Zentron

Jan 8, 2008, 10:52

*O*
Really nice!! You are very talented and I see you've tried a lot of different drawing styles and they all look great!!Thanks. I draw in many styles as I am still learning, but I also do it so as to not get bogged down by one way of drawing. Though with fan art, I'm obviously using someone else's type of art, but I usually adapt it to my own preferences.
I hope to get as good as you with Photoshop..I'm on the basics right now...The key thing to remember, is the layering.

Duplicating the bottom 'line' layer and hiding it, then making sure the new layer is always on top(multiply), with all the colours going underneath... I try to keep each colour layer separate, makes re-touching easier, though you do kinda end up with a lot of layers(I had about 7-10 layers just to each character, so yah.. quite a lot). If you're doing a comic as I am here, then place the text and bubbles over the top of the line layer.

XCrisX

Jan 9, 2008, 01:58

Yeah..I could figure out the kind of styles you got inspired from to do your drawings but you definately adapt them and the result is very beautiful and original in my opinion.

And thanks a lot for your help!!!! I know what you mean about ending up with a lot of layers. That makes the whole composition really confusing to me and it gets difficult working on the details and retouching..Still I'm working hard on my drawings and practicing whenever I have the time :)

Jan 21, 2008, 02:00

^ No problem!! :)
I have Adobe Photoshop CS2 9.0...though I also practice with a different version at my cousin's house, right now I don't remember wich version because they've changed it too many times..but yeah..I think that working with the layers is the most confusing part for me, I end with more than 12 layers almost every time...CS2, that's good, I'm using that one!

The best thing to do with all those layers that just keep building up, is to put them into nice little folders. Click the image below!
