[magnetos]

hi people i have this program and i was wondering where i could find some black and white sketches which i can
color
i want to learn it because id like to scan and import my own art on the web

but before i buy a scanner i d like to know how paintshop
works first and if it is any good

thanks

you can paint up one of my designs if you like. As long as you post back your finished one, if anyone else fancies painting her up! Post back and we can turn it into a competition.

If you need a higher quality jpg let me know.

[magnetos]

by the way did you use a drawing programm to do that or did u draw it by pencil?

[crazybonkers]

She was drawn with one of those clicker pencils, the ones that technical drawers use

[xtraterrestrial]

Nice pic you are a good drawer

[magnetos]

well its not too good
but am not very familiar with paintshop pro tools
so this is my first attempt

i dont know how to properly get rid of the picture countour
so i blur it

[crazybonkers]

I have just finished these two… thought it might give you some ideas

[magnetos]

thats very nice Crazybonkers
although more cartoonish then mine
can you tell me how did you do it?

i mean i cant get rid of those pixellized lines which make the countour of the picture unless i blur them
could it be because you use a higher resolution jpg ??

I used photoshop, the same image as you used. I colored her in on different layers set at 80% transparency. Then when the rough colors were Layed down, I flattened the layers and adjusted the brightness and contrast (this helps smooth and blend the line of the drawing.) Then on other layers I add shadows and more details… if you would like a .psp of the early stages of the coloring… let me know and I’ll provide you with a zip… it’s a fairly big file though.

[magnetos]

ummm i didnt even know you could color using different layers

yes i would like that zip the size isnt much of a problem
i am on dsl
thanks CBs

[crazybonkers]

OK give me 15mins and I will post the zip

[crazybonkers]

Here it is the psd…and not the psp I said earlier http://members.madasafish.com/~roger...azygirl003.zip
This is the completed picture split onto different levels

thanks CBs

i spent 30 minutes on it adding a little shodowing
(notice i am not a professional artist nor i ever took any art course ... )

she looks more sexy eh?

[crazybonkers]

In side photoshop you can use the Lasso tool to isolate individual areas of colour so when you air brush or blur… the effect will be restricted to the required area and will not effect any other part of the picture. Also the magic wand tool is good for removing the white parts of the original drawing leaving you with just the line.

Good job with the picture…the more you try the better and easier you will find it.


and yes, she looks more sexy... what a girl.

[magnetos]

thanks for the tips CB
if you have anymore black and white sketches or if anybody knows where i can find some please let me know
