TUTORIAL: Cleaning up drawings on lined paper. Removing blue lines from your drawings Skill Level: Easy What you need: Your image, scanned in & ready Photoshop CS (other versions should be similar) Welcome to the first tutorial Many of us draw in class instead of listening to the teacher, and often the only paper to draw on is lined paper. This tutorial teaches you how to remove those blue lines from your drawing using Photoshop, or an equivalent graphics program. 1. Open up your image in Photoshop, I'll assume you know how to scan it in and all that. This is the image I will be using: 2. Go to Image > adjustments > levels. 3. Drag #3 to the left until your background is white & generally looks 'clean', it doesn't matter if your lines look very light at this point. Generally speaking, Moving #1 makes the lines darker, #2 makes the whole image (lines & background) darker to the left, lighter to the right, moving #3 left will make the background lighter. 4.

Go to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation. 5. A great technique for scanning your inked drawings. This is a nice and quick way to get amazingly crisp and sharp scans of your artwork.The scanning process itself is crazy fast and you'll end up with a perfect scan - no need to adjust levels or remove smudges, scratches and noise because of the texture of the paper. And the best part, at least for me, is that the scan itself will be cut out from the background so you don't have to spend time removing it and can move straight on to colouring or whatever you'd want to do.

You can only use this procedure with white or, at least light, paper with sketches drawn using ink, felt tip pens, markers and the like.It won't work as well when you've used a lead pencil or something else that leaves smudges and/or has a faint edge. In step 4 you'll find a quick rundown for people who know their way around Photoshop as well as some final notes and examples of the difference between this scanning method and the "regular" one.

Digital Inking Creating pleasing looking line work on the computer can be quite a frustrating experience for artists who have come from drawing with pen and ink on paper. It’s taken me a few years of trial and error to get to the stage where I am happy with the line work I can now create in software. Since I’m sure many artists have had similar experiences to mine, I have written this article to share my experiences and hopefully help others who may be frustrated with this particular aspect of digital artwork. It goes without saying that you need a Wacom tablet to follow this article. I am talking about hand-drawing lines over sketches, just like “inking” a comic book panel with a brush or a pen.

To keep things simple and get to the point quickly I am initially going to just discuss how various packages handle lines, and then I will discuss the more general aspects of each program later. The first, and by far the easiest package for creating good lines is Illustrator. The Size and Min. Color Scheme Designer 3. Digital Art Served :: Gallery. Sulfur on Digital Art Served.

Once "Rapunzel", then "Rapunzel Unbraided", and now "Tangled", Disney's 50th animated Feature film, set for release November 28th, has gone through many changes throughout it's years in development. One thing that hasn't changed much, though, is the artistic influence of two artists in particular. One was the French Rococo painter Jean-Honorer Fragonard, specifically one of his best known works; “The Swing” which inspired the lush fairy tale world that Rapunzel inhabits. The second is animation legend Glen Keane, who was the original driving force behind the film. Glen's masterfully solid, appealing, expressive and passionate animation and drawings are admired across the globe.

He is currently being honored with a gallery exhibit in Paris and is touring with a retrospective of Disney Art in Australia. Below are just a few of Glen's character designs for Rapunzel, Flynn Rider, and Mother Gothel, along with a glimpse of other visual development art for the film. Early concept art: Brittney Lee. Designer, Illustrator and Animator Brittney Lee creates the kind of charming and effervescent characters that can leap to life in a very wide variety of applications; from traditional animation, CG animation, book and stationary illustration to stunning fine art cut paper sculptures.

Lee's design, draftsmanship and color acumen are particularly evident when her characters are found inhabiting an environment that she has created especially for them. Tendrils of hair play off gracefully winding vines, cascades of water dance around lush curvilinear vegetation, warm sunlight bathes elegant Parisian courtyards. Despite the skillful simplicity her design, the viewer is tempted to linger, not wishing to leave Lee's enchanting worlds too soon. You can witness Brittney Lee's amazing five year artistic evolution on her blog. Tutorials favourites by tamaraR on deviantART. Kanaal van vilppustore. Kanaal van silvertoons.

I've had requests for some sort of expressions tutorial dating back a while now, so I figured, "Sure! I can explain expression drawing...and it'll be way better than all those tutorials out there that are nothing but charts of generic expressions.

Yeah! Just give me a day or two to whip something up... " Um. Anyway, I found all I could really do was try to explain ways to teach yourself...and then add some pictures. 3D Cartoon Painting Tutorial. Photoshop Courses. Tortillion.htm. How To Make A Tortillion A tortillion is nothing more than a piece of rolled paper used as a blending tool. The softness or hardness of the tortillion is controlled by the type of paper you choose to make it out of. I have never liked to use a finger or a blending stump on a drawing because it always looks like a big smudge when you are finished.

I started using a tortillion a few years ago when I was trying a new drawing technique. I looked all over to purchase them and they were hard to find and expensive. I took a few apart and figured out how to make them. These are the measurements I use. Use different types of paper. Start with a small fold in the corner. Once you get the rolling going keep it at an angle. Here is one that's almost finished. The finished tortillion is held together with a small piece of masking tape. Here are three tortillions using different types of paper.

Here is a small example of tortillion blending.
