This is a part of the next comic page. I just wanted to show you guys how I usually draw on paper and then scan them in for colouring.

The steps:

1. Sketch with a cyan colour pencil on paper. (or you could sketch digitally and print them out, make sure the lines are 100% cyan)

2. Draw over the lines with a mechanical pencil or ink (whatever medium you prefer for doing lineart.)

3. When finished, scan it.

4. Open in photoshop and do Ctrl+U and you should get the Hue/Saturation panel.

5. On that panel click the drop down menu on "master" and use Cyan.

6. Drag the " Lightness" bar all the way to the right. The blue will dissapear but the pencil will stay!

7. In case the blue lineart turns grey, it means its not 100% Cyan, do not worry. Just go back on "Master" on the Hue/Saturation panel and drag the "Saturation" bar little to the right,
until the blue is really bright cyan. Then repeat step 5 and 6.

8. Now it is time to make the lineart darker. Use Ctrl+ L (Levels stab) to adjust your lineart. If you don't know how. Check my older tutorial:


9. In case you live bits of yellow, use step 5 & 6 again but instead of "Cyan" you choose " Yellow".

Hope it helps :) Its a great technique for those who can't afford a lightbox table!

I adore this method. Sometimes if I'm really ballsy I'll ink it with my fineliners and then scan in Photoshop.

I got lucky once at this small art shop and found blue lead for mechanical pencils. I haven't found them much since; I'd imagine maybe drafting supplies might have them?

Awesome! :D I use red pencil (I just like red lol, I did start with blue back when I began university though) and another method, but it's awesome to learn about your method, as it's one I had previously not heard of! :love: I hope it helps loads of people, and I'll have to try it sometime! :)
