THIS IS DIALOGUE IN THE VIDEO

Hai guys! in this video I will help you guys with your lineart! This quick tutorial for beginner artist to make their lineart look clean! I will try to explain what I know bout it.

 

This is first tips before we start!

Get ready to smash ctrl + z button! Because we gonna make clean lineart ofcourse! And bind the size of brush to make easier it not necessary but I recommend it!

Second, don’t use a Black color . Use dark color instead like grey , dark blue , dark purple and so on. As long not black.

 

First let me show how clean good line art looks! Lets use banana first for example! We can change some boring banana to delicious looking banana!

 

Remember u need to know how to play with the thickness of the line! Thickness can resemble if the subject is heavy or light , far or near and hard or soft! If u can see there some place I make it thin and some line is thick to resemble its hard and smooth part. Its also make your lineart not boring to watch!

Also, u can add detailing! Line and spot is a common thing artist use to make detail! But don’t make it too many cause it will look crowded but some artist love to make it more detail so it your choice.

 

Please enjoy watching the process

 

Anndd its done! Our banana is ready eat! Um I mean its done ! the lineart haha…

 

Now moving on to make a lineart for character.

Firstly, we need to make sketch of our amazing idea . Just use any brush and be free to do the sketch! No need to make it detail. As long u can see the shape is fine!

Next , after we done with the sketch. Its time for long and hard process. The LINEART ! get ready soldier!

 

Remember to know which part need to thick and thin. For example when the line meet line its more better if u thick the meet between of the two line.

 

Next tips I recommend u guys to flip your canvas often to see if your lineart is okay or not I mean its look weird if u flip so u need to adjust it.

 

Now we make a simple shadow for it!

 

Extra tutorial on quick color . First rasterize your vector layer. Then use the wand tool. Make sure your line is connect and leave no gap. Then, if your area scalling is uncheck pls check it and put on 2 or 3 . make sure the line in on your lineart cause there the color will be applied. Usually 1 to 3 is fine for your drawing. Next click the double triangle for invert the selection. Then make a layer below the layer and then make a mask . Then click the paint bucket on top for fill. After that use a paint bucket to fill the color. pls make sure for multiple referring u click the first one.

 

And were DONE!

 

This is advantage if u use vector layer. First, click the square icon to open edit function.

 

First, U can change the color of the lineart without change the color using clipping mask anymore.

 

Next , we can change the thickness of the line. If suddenly u feel want to use a thin line u can change using this.

 

We also can change the type of brush we use.

 

Next, we have correct line function.

 

First u can control as u can see all the line have an anchor point.

 

Second u can pinch the line. Yeah u can stretch the line like I did and u hold button ctrl so u can edit by anchor point and can move it as u wish

 

For the third is for simply your vector line means it decrease your anchor point in line.

Next u can adjust the width of your lineart . There is more easier to make thick and thin line using this brush. U can change how thickness u want and u can change the brush size.

 

Last tips reduce the screen brightness because we spend a lot of the time look at the screen and remember to keep hydrate! No need to rush doing the line art and enjoy the process. This is my advice there is many kind art style in this world there even art that didn’t use the lineart so don’t get stress over it just u do u and have fun doing it! Keep practicing and take care of yourself!
