Description I had so many requests for a tutorial, so here is a step by step process of how I draw the characters in my comics.
As you see, it's rather simple but I hope this will be helpful to you!
And by the way, this is one drawing from my latest Kuroshitsuji comic, like you probably noticed. ^^

That's really helpful! I use GIMP or Corel Paint Essentials, but this is still pretty awesome and it gives one a sense of how you get the awesome effects in your drawings.

Tenshi-no-Hikari In reply to demonfrost [2011-08-24 21:43:00 +0000 UTC]

I use Wacom Intuos3 tablet. For me, it was much harder to draw with the tablet than with a pencil in the beginning but now I'm used to it. ^^

what does opacity lock specifically do?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Tenshi-no-Hikari In reply to NAN-EE [2011-07-24 09:09:11 +0000 UTC]

For example, if you set the lineart layer on opacity lock, you can colour the lines.

Tenshi-no-Hikari In reply to spenxaz [2011-06-02 13:03:01 +0000 UTC]

I use the ink pen in PaintTool SAI, I don't know about a similar tool in Photoshop. In Photoshop I mostly use vectors (pen tool) to do lineart.

If I may...how do you do the multiply + Layer clip thing and the opacity lock?

Tenshi-no-Hikari In reply to Amaya-Redfern [2011-05-07 08:07:20 +0000 UTC]

Those are options in PaintTool SAI...you just have to click them ^^

Amaya-Redfern In reply to Tenshi-no-Hikari [2011-05-07 19:55:19 +0000 UTC]

Do you put them in a layer set? (I'm sorry, I only just started using the program. I don't know where everything is yet.)

Tenshi-no-Hikari In reply to Amaya-Redfern [2011-05-08 07:15:47 +0000 UTC]

Umm no, I actually put them on a single layer. But I'll send you a note with a screenshot to make it clearer! ^^

HikariYamiKage In reply to ??? [2011-04-14 05:28:21 +0000 UTC]

I dunno why, I can never seem to find those things... like opacity lock. Where is it? @______@ And multiply? And layer clip? How do you make the gradient with the brush or will that become obvious once I figure out those other things?
(And I am using Paint Tool SAI, so I dunno why I can never seem to find these things that are mentioned in every SAI tutorial. XD)
