Lineart

I am clueless on it and have been interested in doing it... does anyone know of any online tutorials or anything? (:

  • The way I normally do it is draw it (hand drawn) and put it on the computer and go to a site (need to find it for ya lol I haven't gone on there in a LONG time.) and, you can do this on GIMP to or Paint, pick a color and draw the lines on it (around it first) then do the inside colors. I haven't even finished my last one XD

  • I prefer scanning my art. Paint isn't a great thing to use because you don't have a lot of tools and perks. But sadly, it's all I know how to use. lol.
  • I've had my graphic tablet for a very long time ( 2 years or more...) and I've never really had the heart to use it because the first time I tried I failed. I just couldn't get used to it. But now that I've sat down and started doodeling again I seem to have got the hang of it. It all takes practice. <br>Before, I would scan in my hand drawn stuff, but now I'm comfortably doing it straight on the computer.<br>I use OpenCanvas. I'm still on the trial version but if I'm lucky enough, I might buy it.<br>Of course it's not freeware like paint or GIMP, but if you're looking for a program that works just like the real things ( it's does get pretty close) then you can try out the test version =)<br>But no matter where you start drawing, practice, practice, PRACTICE!<br><br>There are many great tutorials on DA on how to do lineart even using just your mouse. =)

  • Yeah... I tried it on GIMP after I sketched a picture and it is just so hard to keep the lines neat and straight!!! (: Thanks for the tips everyone :)
  • Do you use a tablet?<br>If so, try zooming in enough. That way, your lines won't be all wonky ^^<br>That probably also goes for using the mouse lol

  • Use the zoom and resizing tools. Watch the resolution- the higher the better. I have my canvas twice the size of what I want my end product to be to give me more workspace. Remember, the short the strokes the better because it gives you less time to make the lineart wonky.
