Description warning: this file is HUGE! 8O

This be the new and improved version of a tutorial I did a while back (i think it was 2004?). But I felt that it needed a bit of a face-lift. So a bit of extra details, better design, (hopefully) better picture... 8D

Yeah this was completely random; dunno why I did it. I wasn't bored, jut wanted to do this for some reason... hmm...

Hope this helps! And if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Please ask in the comments, because then I will answer it and other people can see my reply too. But if you feel embarrassed by your question, then ask me via note. Don't worry! no questions are stupid; it is the only way of learning. I ask questions ALL THE TIME. I am surprised I am not yet killed haha

If there are any spelling mistakes, well just live with them. I am too lazy too update such a HUGE file, sooo... yeah XD

Do not be intimidated by the amount of text! It reads quite fast. There were a lot of steps to cover, so don't blame me haha! And not even ALL the small details were added (some things are just common sense man!.... or I was lazy... )

Oh yes...

April is my design, but inspired by the Lion King.

Personally, I like using a dark dark grey for black areas in my drawing so they don't mix in with the contour lines (especially if I feel I'll need the fill bucket again in case I change my mind XD).

Really helpful tutorial though by the way...it explains everything amazingly.

CherryJam In reply to Particularlyme [2011-05-31 16:02:41 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes I agree! I actually also do that... I sometimes draw one character, but then in the end I change my mind, and change the colors to a different character! So I literally just make the black one decrement lighter in the R, G or B value... then I can change the black area's color as I see fit!

Thank you for the flattering words! I am very happy it was helpful

rainbowjellyfishlove [2011-04-03 03:18:24 +0000 UTC]

step 3 didnt work for me.it got all spotted with the sketch color and some loose pixels ? :/

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

CherryJam In reply to rainbowjellyfishlove [2011-04-04 12:03:42 +0000 UTC]

I can't imagine what would cause that... :/

You did draw your sketch in only one color, right? Because if you have different colors, only the one you chose as the background color will be removed... and maybe the other colors that stay behind create the spotty effect.

Otherwise I'm not sure... it has never happened to me before...

OMG thank you!!! Ive been trying to find a way to do some coloring like that... but I can never find anything like that.... um... Do u have a tablet? I would really love one to help me with my art... b/c i suck at colorin... If you do... Does it make coloring art easier?

CherryJam In reply to FauxyDingo92 [2010-12-24 13:28:43 +0000 UTC]

Hey! I am so happy that this helped you!

Yes, I do own a tablet. The truth is, it makes sketching on MS Paint a lot easier, but the lineart and coloring I do with the mouse. Although, tablets make coloring art in Adobe Photoshop A LOT easier (I don't know how I ever managed without one in Photoshop!).

Thanks for the comment!

This is really cool. :3 I usually use MSN for my sketches and then copy/paste it to the program I actually draw with. (Which would be; Easy Paint Tool SAI)

Ah, I remember those days of drawing on MS paint.

Rizafan203 [2010-09-22 01:59:43 +0000 UTC]

I have to say, I'm rather impressed with this Tutorial, I may have to try and use the idea of sketching and doing the lineart on a kind Lion King piece I wanna do inspired by the tune "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga by using Scar and Zira...would save me having to sketch it out on my oversized sketchpad that sometimes doesn't allow for the sketch to be entirely scanned into MS Paint to be colored.

I'm going to take your Tutorial into consideration when I draw it up in MS Paint ^^

GottaTouchTheSky [2010-09-14 21:33:27 +0000 UTC]

any advice on how to not have a shaky line in paint, i'm not very good at drawing with a mouse

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

CherryJam In reply to GottaTouchTheSky [2010-12-24 13:32:05 +0000 UTC]

Well, it is quite difficult to draw with a mouse in Paint, so I would advise you to maybe purchase a graphics tablet (you do get some cheap ones from Genius, it does not have to be the expensive Wacom - I started out on a genius, and it worked fine).

Or maybe you could try drawing with the line tool in Paint. But I can only imagine that to be a very tedious job...

Sorry, I don't really know what else you could do

Hope it helped!

Zagittorch [2010-05-02 16:56:20 +0000 UTC]

Please move this to normal digital art tutorials.
What you have done is NOT pixel art seeing as you have used line tool for the lineart AND shading .

Pixel art is the art of placing EACH pixel individually , with aid of tools such as eye dropper, bucket, etc, but the tool for lining and diving areas is supposed to be the pen or pencil tool, placing each individually.

Please don't let people be misguided to what pixel art is, that gallery is ALREADY full of miscats such as these.

This is just drawing in paint.

Thanks.

Instead of using the eraser to erase the gray lines, why didn't you just select all, cute and paste with gray as transparency?

it amuses me that you use the line tool to line rather than the bezier. |D doesn't it BORE YOU TO DEATH to sit and do all those tiny little lines and stuff? ah well. it's a neat tutorial and the character is cute C:

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

CherryJam In reply to Dinaria [2008-10-18 14:34:12 +0000 UTC]

haha, I find the bezier a bit difficult... I dunno, I feel I have more control and make less mistakes with the line tool haha, actually, I kinda enjoy doing the lineart; at least it goes faster than doing lineart in Photoshop!

But thank you very much! I am glad you like the tutorial (and my character )

Dinaria In reply to CherryJam [2008-10-18 18:21:53 +0000 UTC]

I've heard from a lot of people that the bezier is a bother to them x3 I wouldn't live without it though, it's like my best friend regarding paint. that, and the eraser trick.

most welcome!
