I finished inking the last page of FG #1 a few days ago and was messing around and found this REALLY COOL option under Image Adjustments. I found a way to make lineart, be it digital or real media, cleaner and easier to lay flat colors in. If you're a comic artist this might help you greatly I hope .
Thankyou, informative & easy to read.....I don't draw for the web so probably not something I'll use, but I've been going through these today & yours stands out as clear & well written!

The lines actually look sort of "hard" afterwards. Especially at where the eyelashes are, I think it looks nicer with the faded taper. If you get what I mean >.<
By the way, would it be possible to duplicated the lineart, blur it a little, then maybe overlay the new blurred layer over the original lineart (that is now a little pixelly?) Maybe it'll make the lines look less harsh o__o
Just a suggestion, not meant to be offensive in any way in case this sounded anything like that

Yea, you can do that. You can actually just duplicate your lineart before you even do the Threshold on it and set the origianal to mulitiply and just use the converted lineart as your color template . Yea, that's the purpose of the threshold is to 'harden' the lines when you really think about it. But if you go the extra mile and make ALL of your lines super dark, even those tapered edges, you won't notice a difference. It's just really hard to do that with pixels.
This is an awesome tutorial I'm definately going to try this on the next digital piece I do, especially with that use all layers option. I hadn't really known what that was about, and it's crazy helpful now Thanks for posting this!

Great Tutorial! ...i think i'll just stick to the trusty 'Multiply' option for now though (cos all my linearts are traditional media). However the 'All layers' option when dunking will be Very useful!!!! (i never used the dunk option!) but now I'll definately use it along with multiply *has already tryed it out* Tiz awesome!
Thanx very much indeed, Mon-Capitan! *salutes*

Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
