This tutorial will guide you through the entire CGing process that I use- from the pencil sketch to a completed smooth and colourful image. You don't have to follow every step, but it's all here, just in case you want to know ^_^.
The image that I'll be using is called Theme-girl (because I don't have an imagination). She was worked on throughout the entire tutorial, so you can use her as a guide and see what is being done at each step. Good luck and have fun!

Tutorial 1: Preparing line art for scanning - cleaning up your pencil image Tutorial 2: Scanning your line art - scanning and cleaning up your line art image Tutorial 3: Preparing your scanned art for colouring - creating a transparent line art layer Tutorial 4: Colouring your line art - Disneyfy your line art with flat colours. Tutorial 5: Shading your line art - Use paths to get a smooth cel look. Some tips on using these tutorials - If you have to hold down two (or more) keys at once, I list them as first key-second key. So ctrl-a means hold down both 'control' and 'a' at once. - If you want to skip some steps, there's a section called "Starting point" at the beginning of each tutorial so you know what each tutorial requires. - Don't forget Ctrl-Z (undo). It is your friend :) Back to Wendy's Web
