Okay, didn't know that. XD Jinx sid your boyfriend was stalking her, then she said Erayon was stalking her, so I figured they're the same. Either that, or Jinx is reeeeally popular. O.o But Erayon's such a cool name! XD

RANDOME HELLO! Guess what? I'm doing wallpaper requests! I'll edit ome pictures of you and stick 'em together and make a wallpaper for you! If you want to see the ones I made for myself and Jinx, they're here: http://s220.photobucket.com/albums/dd274/DragonGirl1136/

Well, I actually don't use Photoshop for the smooth lineart. well, I use it later on, but the actual lineart isn't dont in photoshop. It's a bit of a process, so prepare to read a lot. ^^

I start with a sketch, it doesn't matter whether it's on the tablet or scanned in. I take it to Photoshop and make it big, maybe

300% of what it will be when it's finished. There's a reason for this. Save it as a .bmp file, then take it over to Paint. Do your

lineart with the curve tool. It takes a bit of getting used to, but it makes nice smooth lines. Make sure to do it in a color

that's nowhere else in your picture.

Save it, and take it back to Photoshop. Use the Magic Wand tool to select all of your nice smooth, pixely lineart (I can give

you a screenshot of the settings I use to make it easy if you want), right click, choose "select inverse", and then press

"delete", then deselect. If you did it right, you should be left with just your lineart. Use the bucket fill tool to make it black (or

whatever color ya want). Now, here's where the settings can go a few ways.

If you want smooth, sharp lineart, like in this picture, http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-628333.html, use the bucket fill tool to

color it in, then use the magic wand to shade. Then, resize the image to whatever size you want it to be (a trick I use is to

get out the magnifying glass and choose "fit on screen", then look at the zoom percentage and use tha number in the

resizer). Save your image as you normaly would, and put it up!

If you want slightly fizzy lineart, like in this pic, http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-638655.html, there's an extra step you need

to do before you do the coloring. Use the magic wand tool before you color and select all of the lineart. right click, and select

"layer via copy". Now, take the new lineart layer and use the gaussin (I know I spelled that wrong) blur filter at a 1.0 pixel

radius, ONLY on the duplicate layer! Then, duplicate the duplicate layer a few times until the lineart is nice and dark. You

should have kept the original pixely layer beneath it, just do the coloring on that one like I said before.

That's how I do my lineart! It may take a few tries to perfect the technique, but the result is worth it! If you have any

questions about anything, just let me know and I'll do my best to explain!
