Artist's Comments

[link] - download this action first to the DESKTOP, ill show you how to load it (at the bottom) and use it!

:bulletred: Red bullet points are what you should see (as a help)
:bulletblue: Blue bullet points are are the guide

Step 1

:bulletblue: make your sketch or drawing
:bulletred: If its a pencil sketch make sure the major lines are really dark!
:bulletblue: Scan in your sketch or inking at about 300-600 dpi
:bulletblue: If you did an inking, use Black and White Scan, if its a sketch or other, use a Grayscale scan

Step 2

:bulletblue: Open Photoshop and your image
:bulletblue: Click *image* then *mode* then *RGB Colour*
:bulletblue: Click *image* then *Adjustments* then *curves*
:bulletred: You should see a graph with a diagnal line from bottom left to top right..........
:bulletblue: Make the graph into a S-shape by clicking on the line and draging it.
:bulletred: Fiddle around till you get your line art all dark and the distortion to a minimum

Step 3

:bulletblue: Click *window* then *actions* click the blue arrow next to the file *Line Art Cleaner*
:bulletblue: Click *Line-art Cleaner*
:bulletred: (the sub file under "Line Art Cleaner") it is positioned more to the left than the others
:bulletblue: Click the *play* button (a little triangle symbol)
:bulletblue: Click *ok* on the window that pops up
:bulletred: You will get a message to "Get out a big black brush (i use a big pencil) and cover all the lineart
with the transparency locked. see below
:bulletred: To lock the transparency, (it should already be done, but check anyway)
:bulletblue: Click *window* then *layers*
:bulletred: Make sure "Clean Line-art" is the active layer by the little paint brush selection,
:bulletred: Or in CS2 making sure the "Clean Line-art" is in a blue selection (just click the name if its not)
:bulletblue: There should be a button that says lock transparency, or lock transparent pixels, click it, and a padlock sholud appear
:bulletblue: Go and cover the "Clean Line-art" layer in black
:bulletred: You should see all the Line Art in the marching ant selection go a bit darker!
:bulletblue: Select *background Layer* and begin to colour
:bulletred: You will not be able to draw over the marching ant area (the black bits), but you can shade the other white areas

There you go, Good luck!
