Title: Hey all you photoshoppers, wanna help me with a sketch?
Post by: Malor on June 16, 2007, 03:47:42 pm: Right. I drew this picture, and my dad wants to use it on his computer. The only problem is, the quality sucks as usual. I've messed around with it a bit on photoshop, but it still looks pretty bad..would any of you all mind touching it up a little? :) ANyways, heres the image..

Greyscale, color reduction and a couple other modifications.

Post by: Amon on June 16, 2007, 08:23:55 pm: Tried to clean up the original as best I could, but I went ahead and made an inked version anyways. Couldn't tell exactly where you wanted it shaded, so I'll leave that to you.

Pardon the crappiness - I usually am a lot more volumetric in my shading, but I got lazy. Example:

Post by: Dusty on July 03, 2007, 06:41:08 pm: Anyone have a good tutorial on using the pen tool in Photoshop? I understand drawing with it, but I never found out how to varying line widths and such like Amon did.

Post by: Ray Frenden on July 03, 2007, 07:07:44 pm: I draw with a pixel brush at 1200 dpi, 11x17, so I can't help there. The pen tool and, really, any vector work, just drives me nuts.

Post by: Helm on July 04, 2007, 01:43:12 pm: Ray, you could do similar work much, much faster in Manga Studio 3 EX, which is built for this sort of digital inking.

Post by: Ray Frenden on July 05, 2007, 01:47:03 pm: That's what I use. It's a raster brush. 11x17 @ 1200dpi. That sketch only took a couple minutes. :)
