Yup! I finally did one of these tutorials. It's not perfect, it really just showing how I convert something from traditional to digital through Photoshop. Kinda neat, and for all of those wondering how I draw, this should help.

Cool! Did you know if you draw your sketch with pen and scan that set your sketch layer to multiply and make layers under that and you can Color under your sketch... saves time from making a lineart... something new I figured out

[FeatheredSeclude]

No, I did not know that. Mostly cuz I don't really use pen. I always tend to mess up somehow, mostly getting startled, pushed, etc. So, I normally stick to 0.5mm mechanical pencils. I'll probably try that sooner or later?
I normally just trace the line-art using my tablet after I scanned it over. And yes, I do use many layers. This pic was like 16 layers for the .psd file.

Same I always screw it up you can do it with pencil too just make the contrast darker

[FeatheredSeclude]

Just uncomfortable using a pen. It really stinks when your pens decides to explode for unknown reason, and flushes 8 hours of works. Many censorships follow. I always mess with contrast actually. Like all the pics I upload. I gotta up the contrast to get it to look right, and not all grainy.

Exactly! Haha
