This tutorial explains how to ink, as in where to make your lineart thicker and thinner, which really can be used for traditional and tablet users. Even if you have a tablet, or if you are a traditional inker this has some things that can help you. It has tips for people scanning in their lineart and some brush settings for tablet ppl. Then it goes over the path tool, and how to use it with different brush settings. NO TABLET NEEDED. I haven't tested earlier versions but I think I've used this method since Photoshop 7 and I've used every version of Photoshop since that version, so it should work for most computers.
FAQ:
Is there some way of automatically making the fade extend to the end of the path?
No, not that I know of there's no way to do this. You can always change the minimum width to a heigher percentage, and erase the end to make it tapper off. Or you can just go through the hard way an play around with the fade length in the brush window. Sorry
Why isn't the fade thing working D:
you have not gone into your brush window (F5 or window>brushes), gone to shape dynamic and switched the brush to 'fade' instead of pen pressure under size jitter. If you have not done this, it ain't gonna work. Also, mess with the fade value (the textbox next to the 'control' drop down menu. : )
I make my tutorials for free, but if you enjoy my tutorials and want to donate some funds for gas, art books and such, I would appreciate it. [link]

Thank you so much for creating this tutorial! I'll link you to my finished picture once I'm done. I find the tablet pen settings to be especially helpful.

I love the section where you explain why certain lines are thick or thin based on perspective, lighting, and tension! I think that's the most important thing to keep in mind to make a picture look good! And your example of how to do everything in photoshop is very well explained! Great tutorial!

Great! But I recommend Easy Paint Tool SAI for inking, cause you can adjust the pressure easy, and it kind of automatically inkts so cool.
But still great, you make awesome tutorials!

when I choose the fade option in brush dynamics, it keeps switching back to pen pressure, is it because I have my tablet plugged in? if so, that would suck because my mouse is broken B(

I have Gimp.2 or something and at the Tablet-less pen pressure, how do you do that. 'Cause I don't seem to understand. I use the ink tool and all, and I did it once, but I don't know how I did and tried for 2 days to do it again, and I don't seem to know how I did, can you please help me?

I don't think i got the fade option right, cuz' i want it to stay thick with no fade in the starting point and then fade afterwards. It still fades in both sides. Can you please tell me what to do? ^^ I know... I'm being pitiful...
