 |
|
Greetings
Maybe this question should go under brushes but i figured i'd try here first. 
I am attempting to color in line art, my first problem along with many that im sure to have is that i need to create a solid bright color....that doesn't cover the actual line art itself.
Im finding that when i mess around with the settings and when i do the first stroke, i get a very weak transparent color, after i take my finger off the mouse and select again over the already colored area it seems to darken with the stroke..........
This looks like crap!...................what am i doing wrong, im sure i need to properly learn some kind of technique....can anyone give me some advice? |

Try making the opacity of your brush 100%.
Then change the blending mode of your layer to overlay or screen or hue or whichever one looks best to you. You can change the bleding mode my slecting one of the options from the dropdown menu on the layers pallette to the left of the opacity field.

thank you
By the way, do you know anywhere on the net where i can find a tutorial on what all those options are ment for? |

The easiest and most predictable way that I have found to color line art, is to make the lineart the topmost layer in your Photoshop file with the blending mode set to Multiply. Colors can then be put on separate layers underneath the line art layer.
The cool thing about this is that everything white on the lineart layer is now transparent (so colors show through), and the black elements always appear as black.
This techniques is best used for any application that does not require specific color separations (besides 4-color process). |
