Awesome! Thanks so much! This tutorial really helps. I scan my drawings and even if I ink them before hand, the lines still didn't look smooth enough, but now, thanks to you, they are!!
Thanks again! And keep up the good work!

thanks for the Tut, it will help me ALOT!
also i have a question, if i have multiple drawings on a paper that i wanted to make clean line art, would i select all(part 3 with the magic wang XD) or do them individually?
thanks again.

morbidprince In reply to Lessonguy [2006-04-17 03:25:09 +0000 UTC]

hahaha, you're welcome! :3
Depends if you want to put them ALL in one lineart layer, if it doesn't matter I suggest you do them all at once

Interesting, I might try this way sometime. There are soo many ways to do it, right?

By the way, Step #4, you said "make work math" once. It's ok though, we all make taipougraficle errerrrzz.

Ooo. Awesome tutorial . I have a habit of scanning my pencil drawn stuff and re-drawing or "inking" it in illustrator, but this is much easier and faster. I knew I could tweak it with brightness/Contrast, but I hated having to go in and fix it.. it would take me forever. Now I know how to do it easier and quicker ^^.
