ok, ive been going around a cuple forums now asking ppl how the hell i ink something properly on photoshop and im getting responses like, oh you use the pencil tool n click this and drag it around n then fill this path, n crap like that. and no one is actually explaining how i do all this stuff, ive tried teh things people say and i either cant get it to work or its plain impossible n they are talking crap

SO, i figured if anyone at all can possibly help me, then it would be my good friends at the OM forum!

if anyone can tell me anything about how to ink on photoshop and how to actually get it to work in any detail, sometime soon, i'd greatly appreciate it, im just seriously stumped now

hope sum1 can save me

Generally, with cleaning up in photoshop, most people recommend the ridiculously painful to learn Pen tool. I believe that is what you were originally refering too It works great if you have the patience and a high tolerance for failure. The pen tool isn't as hard to learn as it is to get a sense for the way it curves and draws lines... and even still, the similated pressure works like a turd on a stick, so if you're trying to make a drawing that has a lot of line variety, you might be at a loss if you don't double up...

Anyway, here's where my feelings split. I personally ink everything digitally in photoshop and illustrator. I lose out on line control, but I gain in percision, editability and the lines are perfect. Drawing perfect lines with your hand in real life isn't exactly easy to do and if you ink digitally, you can forego a cleaned up drawing on paper, and work straight off the rough, but digital inking takes quite a chunk of time if you are unused to it...

In Photoshop, straight on digital inking is done conventionally by using the Pen Tool on layer, tracing the original sketch on a seperate layer, and using the "Stroke Path" command to make the actual line... Of course, it sounds easy till your first 3 seconds trying to use the Pen Tool... which is like wrestling with a giant snake... Well I hope this helped a little. Still whether to take the digital or physical route is your choice in this matter.

Unless I have to learn it, for now, I'll stick to traditional ink pens. Inking by hand also helps practice general art skills like hand-eye coordination.
