Tutorial Inking for Comics, Cartooning, and Manga in Corel Painter By Jared Hodges Think of the line work in any comic book, newspaper cartoon, or manga you've ever read. Odds are, you're not thinking the penciled understructure, but a definitive contour line inked in black. In this article, I will share how I use the tools in Corel Painter to ink comics, cartoons, and manga art.

Most comics, cartoons, and manga use the same or similar techniques for inking. For the sake of brevity, I'll pile all these terms under comics. Keep in mind that while I'm discussing inking for comics, I could just as well be talking about inking artwork of any style. Purpose for Inking There are several objectives the inker hopes to accomplish when redrafting a piece of work, including clarifying and weighting lines, adding texture and shading, and most importantly, correcting and finalizing the art for black and white printing.

Underpainting in Corel Painter - Explore Underpainting in the Corel Painter Photo Painting System (Intro) Historically, an underpainting was used to establish the overall color values for a painting. Similarly, the Underpainting palette lets you adjust the color, tone, and detail of a photo to prepare it for auto-painting. For example, you can darken colors to simulate the colors used in an 18th-century painting, or you can soften colors to simulate the colors found in watercolor paintings. We consider this the first part of preparing your image for Auto-painting in Corel Painter.

One of the new and exciting additions to Painter X is the ability to apply the color of a source image to your under painting! The method below was to choose a source image that contains the colors and tones you want to use. The color and tone for the source image can be applied to our photo to create your underpainting.

Hi, You'll really need to test a number of brush variants to find one that does what you want.

For now, I'll just give you some basic info: For blending, start with the Blenders variants and spend time experimenting, working on a copy of your image saved with a different file name. Then, if you don't like the result, you won't lose anything by closing the image and reopening it then continuing to experiment. I'd probably use a larger brush size and maybe lower both Opacity and Bleed quite a bit. Unless you want the current Paper texture to show in the blending strokes, be sure not to select a brush variant that uses a Subcategory option containing the word "Grainy" in its name. Open the Brush Controls' palettes (Window > Brush Controls > Show General will open all Brush Controls palettes in a docked group).In the General palette, you'll find the Subcategory name. if it contains the word "Grainy" you can click the small arrow to the right to expand the drop down list and choose Soft Cover.
