Line-Art Tutorial

As mentioned in the video, there are a ton of things you can experiment with when doing line-art, from working on white over black (inverted, working on doing lights) to doing textures and materials. So go crazy and have fun!

Here are some websites and artists that can help you find some inspiration:

Edit: There is now a brush smoothing tool on Photoshop too!

Chibisuke x Vyrn

We finally reached the $600 goal a few days ago!!!! 

I shall wait to do an actual mini comic till we make sure this amount of support is actually stable (last month we had a large decline at the end of the month) but meanwhile I thought I could at least do this one page long mini comic as thanks to all the support you all have given me ^^.  You guys are awesome ^^

Also, this way you can see what kind of thing to expect from these mini comics I hope to be working on with you all...

October Tutorial

Which of these interests you more? I shall make a tutorial based on the winner.

(Some themes are too large for one tutorial, so I'd start by doing an introduction or overview first, and offer more in depth and specific lectures on other months).

Note: the "Coloring Line-art drawings " would mostly focus on my methodology to color images and some tips that can help make that process faster!
