LineArt & SAI Tutorial: [link]
UPDATE 7/17/09: I added a shortcut to the "Alternate Method" for Preparing the Lineart (And elaborated on that a little bit) to the Table of Contents (The place where all the Red Buttons are in the beginning) This would most likely be targeted to people using Photoshop Elements, OpenCanvas---any Program that does not have the ability to split Channels.
I also added a section to change things back to RGB after the Lineart Preparation. This page is BEFORE the Flats, after the "Alternate Method". Thank you readers for reminding me to put it in
If this tutorial is helpful, please tell other people about it! 
I finally finished it! The file is around 7 megabytes, but I hope it'll be worth the download! I kind of aimed it toward Beginners, but there's a lot of more "complicated" stuff in there too.
Use the LEFT and RIGHT keys on your keyboard to flip through the pages, and then use the UP key to return to the table of Contents.
IF THE KEYS DON'T WORK then just click on the image first and THEN use the keys.
Enjoy!!

Hey, I'm having trouble getting the lines to come up after the part where you invert it and stuff. Is there some reason why when I try the CTR+A and stuff with the gray-scale, it doesn't copy anything? Because I keep getting an error message saying "No pixels were selected".

oh, elements doesn't have the ability to split channels, that's why you're getting that message
You can try to use the "alternate" method instead (in the table of contents

I am scared I will never get this good. And then I will, and go like Oh I'm a retard.

noo! Don't think that way! It's just really lots of practice. Learning how to use tools are just like learning how to use anything else outside of art... just have to keep using them to learn

It's like a record button that will play back anything you do over and over again.

I actually prefer seperating the lineart this way:
[link]
seems to preserve a lot more of the lines fullness, you have a lot more control with the levels beforehand..
Great tut though ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, it's basically the same thing without the levels
thanks

Yeah true dat!! you don;t have to worry about RGB mode and the layers trying to auto-flatten either this way..... love ur tutorials, thanks on behalf of everyone ^^!

Can Gimp be used for this too? I prefer to use Gimp since I don't like paying over $1k for a copy of Photoshop.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A lot of the technical aspects of the tutorial won't match up with Gimp's, but I hope that the artistic side (knowing what to shade, where to put the lighting, etc, will help with any program that has a brush tool ^^
