My company, Educo webdesign (www.educowebdesign.com) was commissioned to make a superhero character for our clients Mz. Tisa, a Las Vegas musician. I wanted to take this opportunity to slow things down a little bit and try to put together a few of my techniques for creating lineart in real time (mostly, it’s sped up in a few places) I was rapidly approaching and overstepping my deadline, so I had to stop recording on the coloring section because it slows down my computer, but I did manage to grab some video of me laying down flat colors and painting an eye, so I’ll be putting together a short video with that stuff. The brush sets I use in this video are Photoshop Brush Set: www.adonihs.deviantart.com Illustrator Brush Set www.jimro.deviantart.com http www.chrismickens.com (currently updating) Thanks to all my new subscribers!! I love you guys and I know things have been slow, but I’m carving out some time to do some Disney tween caricatures (Jo Bros, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, etc…) because they have hilarious faces and would be great to teach caricature styles. I’m also putting together a Ron and Hermoine fanart to show how to blend photorealistic faces with cartoon style, and I’m going to record the animation process for my website avatar for a flash how-to video. Up next will be a quick Photoshop basics video to show you how I set up my workspace and to go over some essential shortcuts. Listen to Mz.

wuts with the beige background?
@chrisknowsthis i think the problem might be i’m using cs3 which is a pretty outdated version of Photoshop, it works fine as described in your video when i use cs5
@chrisknowsthis …yup
@lenny121 how are you moving it from illustrator to photoshop? Copy and paste?
@lenny121 I like to use smart object in projects where I might need to resize or update the linework and I know I won’t be coloring or blending it. When I’m recording a video and working on a huge file, I rarely use them because the screen capture software murders my CPU and jumping from Photoshop to Illustrator gets a little hairy.
i have this problem that i get a some white pixels around my line art when i move it from illustrator to Photoshop..any reason why i might get this ?
cool why do you prefer pixel over smart object ?
@Hecket All right!
@Scurl123 Thank you! I’m sure there are some that are more efficient, but it gets the job done for me and is easy to learn and improve upon.
Giggidy!
You are Amazing… This has to be the best method I’ve seen so far!
@JewelBthe1 I think she’s beautiful, but we’re all entitled to our opinions

had to give 10 stars, best photoshop video i have seen. great work.
Thank you so much! I had been debating about this for so long. Photoshop is driving me insane. Can’t stand it. Don’t know how to line art at all. I have CS3.
I learned from books (library) and online tutorials – all free. I find that structured classes usually move at a weird pace. Maybe online classes would be good, though. You can learn it completely for free – I did.
You’re very welcome ^_^
This is really important for me. How did you learn to use Photoshop, because it’s really difficult for me to figure out. I need to know if I should get classes to learn the software.
