Neaat! I wonder how does the procedure for lineless art go like, I wanna give it a shot sometime (now that I have a tablet...)
So colorful though, it makes me really appreciate Link's color scheme (and Ezlos)

there's probably several different ways to do lineless, in my case I pretty much relied on only 2 layers and just Transfer down whats on top to the bottom, put the bottom layer back on top, and then work on the next object on the bottom. granted it leaves little room for fixing up mistakes more easily, but at the very least you only have to worry about paying attention to two layers rather than a gazillion, so it's the best method I can recommend for beginners (like me xD).

Lineless art is awesome!
How do you make such sharp artwork like this!?!?
My type of lineless art is nothing compared to this...
Seriously terrifulous Jamesman! C:

well if you have a good tablet and a program like Paint Tool SAI or Fire Alpaca, it's most definitely possible to do artwork like this ~

A tablet I do not have but I somehow managed to get my hands on SAI thanks to a fellow artist. Hmm...seems logical. So far I'm just getting used to making smooth lineart.

I'd suggest going for a tablet for the best SAI experience.

Ah, I see...I will most likely consider it. Thank you for the advice. C:
What kind of tablet would you suggest as well?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
bamboo touch & capture, it's probably one of the more cost effective and actually effective tablets on the market.

I may think of buying it in the near future once I rack up enough money from commissions ...but if I may ask what is the key differences from using SAI and Photoshop on a tablet than on a regular computer desktop? I would like to hear an honest from you cause I really want to become a better artist like you and several others.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well the key difference is a few small things. for one . . . you're actually drawing like a real artist does *SHOT*, and two, in the case of SAI, the stabilizers will not work with a regular mouse, you need a tablet.
and you maybe thinking "stabilizers? what's that?", well to put it simply, it helps you to make slower but sharper strokes. it's something that can help when drawing, especially if you're a newbie to tablet drawing.

Hmm, very interesting...and haha wow. *bricked*
Hmm, how will owning a tablet change the process of drawing?
For example, I sketch on paper. I use a camara to take a shot of the sketch and transfer it to the cpu. For there I open the pic up on SAI and continue the lineart from there, afterwards color it on Photoshop. Will owning a tablet make life easier and simpler from going through all that?
I also understand that you can use SAI on a tablet. Can you also use Photoshop on it? If not, is it possible to transfer the drawing from the tablet to the cpu in order to color it on Photoshop?

I would say it should, after all using a tablet is a lot like drawing on paper, it's almost the same process ~
and yes you can use it on photoshop. hell Bamboo more or less acts like a second computer mouse
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I kinda figured that, maybe I won't have to sketch on paper any longer.
That's great but will I need to redownload Photoshop again? Because I have a Creative Cloud account and I pay for the program each month.
Other than that, I went on Amazon and encountered Wacom Bamboo Capture Pen and Touch Tablet (CTH470) by Wacom...I wonder if this is the tablet for a reasonable price?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
depends on if you really use Photoshop for anything. if so then I guess you'll have to to even use it in the first place. xD
and yes, that is the tablet I am referring to
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I kinda figured something...I now realize that the tablet is not it's own system, but more like a add on to work along with a computer as if it was a mouse, am I right?
Great, I may order it soon but sill must assure myself...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that's right, it's an add-on and not so much it's own system xDDD

Haha, that explains why I was a little confused on what it really was, but do you know of any tablet that has a screen or are those not really necessary??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
there are drawing tablets with screens on them, but those are ungodly expensive, we're talking maybe $1,000 or $2,000 total. You're better off just getting a Bamboo tablet and learning how to draw through that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Geez, I can see why!
Yeah, I am better off ordering bamboo then.
Btw, I even wonder how the detection works when working with the cpu and the tablet...better off looking up a video about it.
Anyways thank you for you being patient in answering my concerns and for the very encouraging advice. Cheers. C:

actually the great thing about Bamboo is that, the square on the tablet is pretty much like your computer screen, so you can aim your pen on the top right and your cursor will immediately move to the top right portion of the screen. so it's pretty damn precise ~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have seen some videos about it, and it is indeed precise. Then again, how would you know to aim where the mouse would go when drawing in comparison to drawing by hand, that's what baffles me. I can't explain that part further. :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
to that I say, think of your entire computer screen like a giant-ass canvas. if you can keep that in mind, then the rest oughta be self explanatory.

Good point.
You just got to use some imagination.
Welp, wish me luck...I guess.
