In this video we’ll learn how to make a digital drawing from a sketch made in pencil, as we do in SOSFactory. If you’re a novice in Photoshop i suggest you to practice first with the basic tutorial on Digital Drawing with Photoshop. In this new videotutorial the main news is that we’ll learn how to modulate the lines giving them different weights; with this we’ll get a much more shocking and dynamic result.
The key consists in using the different thicknesses of the lines in an appropiate way, the aren’t rules here, you need to let intuition be your guide. Let’s take a look to this two examples:
Example A: We have a thin line, without any weight differences. Also take a look at the colored line. the result is much more smooth, because it makes the color interior more important. I suggest doing this when you have to use the character at small scales. Here you can see the basic tutorial on Digital Drawing with Photoshop.
Example B: The line is thicker, there are weight differences and also the line remains black. The result is more impressive. The problem when using this style at small scales is that the line “drowns” the volume; at more line weight, less color interior, this way you will hardly obtain a good volume. Here you can see the advanced videotutorial on Digital Drawing with Photoshop.
There’s a third option which is drawing and inking it in the traditional way in paper, and after that take it to Photoshop to clean it and extract the lines. Here you can see the videotutorial on Digital Inking with Photoshop.
There’s also the last option which i don’t recommend unless you’re an advanced Photoshop user; it consists in drawing the lines directly with your digitalizer tablet.
