Artist's Comments

I thought I'd put this up since a lot of people have issues with line art separation...and there are some really BAD techniques out there.

Namely the wand tool. The wand...evil, evil creation...:dead:

So knock yourselves out and enjoy! This is the way I was taught to use at Media Design School, a teriary college that teaches in-depth computer graphic design.

If you have any further questions, or corrections to this tutorial, just send me a note or comment here :)

NB: to view, click download. This is a MASSIVE file, nearing a megabyte.

nice tutorial, i've been just scanning in grayscale and using the levels tool but this seems much more effective

Thanks. Levels provides nice control, but it also, unfortunately, destroys data as it goes; that makes it irreversible basically. Thankfully with channels you can always go back...

Bleh, no offence but I hate those tutorials... so damn complicated XP I scan in Color, save in JPG, and then use Multiply once I've fixed it up a bit with Levels

Hey, this tutorial can come in handy if I have Photoshop. That is, if I'll ever get the program.

That's so handy dandy - I hope to be getting photoshop soon so that will be really useful! :)

LOL...that's the problem. It's so f00king expensive that most people either have a bootleg copy or don't have it at all, since PSP is cheaper by far. If only I had both...T_T
