| Marucha said: Transfer is NOT ON. That means No opacity/flow jitter whatsoever. Those should also be at 100% in the toolbar also. See the 'Smoothing' is checked, it will help with smoothing your line, but it doesn't fix everything... basically, the fast and looser your draw, the better your line. Note: Though you could use a 80-90% opacity though for your linework to leave a slight hint of transparency and that could be interesting?... it just depends on the look you want to go for. Your line looks a little blotchy like you were 'feathering' along to create a long line by building it with tiny strokes? It's better to zoom out and tilt the canvas how you using rotation feature to make that long sweeping line... If you have CS5 or newer, you can use the 3D accelerated canvas rotation feature for this. You don't seem to be using a low enough minimum diameter for your brush size in the painting, so if you turn that down, that should probably help you get a whispier line. |
*** Yeah, that's what I thought XP - I'll stick to the pen tool if I need something to be exact.
*** You're talking about the shirt? Yeah, that's exactly what I was doing. I was gonna do it better later, but it was getting late and I had uni the next day.
*** Doesn't doing this repeatedly have some negative side effects? I'm not sure, but when I rotate images using the free transform tool, it usually leads to some artifacts, especially around sharp edges or line.
I read your whole post, thanks for being so specific. The screenshots were perfect cuz the text was kind of confusing XP
I think I have a problem with trying to be too exact. I really really like artwork that looks free and natural, so I don't really know why I stick to doing it my crazy way. I'm gonna finish Ichigo this way since the hard part is over (most important part of anime fanart is the face), but after that I'm gonna try make myself be more natural.
