Description 14 December 2011

I started making a tutorial on cleaning lineart back in August and never finished it. I finally got around to finishing it today.

The purpose of this tutorial is to show you how to prepare a drawing on paper for posting on the internet. You'll need a scanner or digital camera, and an image editing program. (If you don't have a program, look up The Gimp; it's free to download.) The tutorial also includes a section on making the white parts of a drawing turn transparent so that you can color it without coloring over the lines or leaving a whiteish border around the lines.

Here is the finished picture: [link]

Should send this to a few friends. Not sure if they'd really take the effort to, but it doesn't hurt to try.

lol. I remember fixing up someone's image for them once because I really wanted to see it but the lines were so light it didn't look like anything.
