” is attached to indicate the layer being displayed.

To switch between display and non-display, please click the left part of the thumbnail of the layer. The “tail” layer of sample.mdp is a hidden layer. We encourage you to name the layer as much as possible so that you do not have to know when layers increase. How to change the layer nameĬhanging the name on the layer window Clicking the gear icon of “Layer (1)” opens the “Layer Property(2)” dialogue, change the “Name (3)” there and press “OK”. Please sort the layers several times to see what happens. In this way layers overlap from bottom to top, so in places that are not transparent the lower layer will not be visible. Lineworks around the buttocks are also hidden. The face of the kittens has disappeared (The face data is still left just because it disappeared). While dragging & dropping, the destination of the moving layer becomes blue as shown in (1).Īs you can see, move the “coloring” layer above the “line (face)” layer. To rearrange the layers, drag and drop the layer you want to move to the destination. I tried painting the cat with yellowĪlthough it protrudes a lot, it does not affect the line drawing on the top at all. Even if it protrudes from the line for a while, it can be deleted later, so it’s okay! Please correct until you feel better. If you can delete all “coloring” layers, let’s paint the cat’s image to your favorite color. If you erroneously erase a picture of another layer or draw a wrong line, you can use the Undo function to restore it. If you say “it is too much to erase and it is troublesome to erase with an eraser!”, You can clear the whole layer at once.If you press “Layer” -> “Clear” on the menu or “Delete” key on the keyboard, all the contents of the currently selected layer will disappear. Please properly erase the color using an eraser. Since “sample.mdp” has 4 layers, click the “coloring” layer in the layer window.

Make sure your wrist gets rest and doesn’t get cramped.Usually, it is instructed to make your movements so that the rotate from the shoulder, not the wrist or elbow, to lessen strain on these body arts, and this should work for digital drawing/painting too.Good inking brushes if you want to experiment: pen tagThe default G-Pen and Maru-pen are also great. Combine this with simple, confident and straight-forward strokes, made with a comfortable arm movement. That is the number I’ve usually found to work well with inking, sort of like auto-correcting your lines to be smoother, without slowing the lines down. If your lines are a bit shaky at first, you can try setting the pen stabilizer to 1-5 (up on the toolbar when using brush tool). So it all depends on your preferences too. but right now i’m also working with normal brush pens at 14-30 minimum width, because I am doing a more cartoony, ink pen like style for the lineart. For example, in the brush settings i turn the “min width” all the way down if i want to have a very thin, tapered, “sensitive” or “sharp” look to my lineart. You just have to make sure that it feels comfortable enough and fits your own lining style. The default Firealpaca/Medibang Paint brush is actually decently adequate for this job and is what i started out with when using Firealpaca for the first time before it had customizable brushes. Since it was initially software for photo processing, it is quite good at adjusting colors. It also supports CMYK, the go-to format used for printed works. Since Paint Tool SAI does not support CMYK, the two software are often used together. Photoshop CC is suited for intermediate users, so we recommend it if you know what you want to create and are happy to customize your software. Another similar software, Photoshop Elements, has limited functions but can draw digital illustrations without any problems and costs less than US$100. Support: For some issues, the Adobe support team can be contacted via their official contact form or a chat feature. Although the official website has a community forum for asking and answering questions, these topics are mainly related to design and photo processing. There is not much information on illustration and comics. There are also many books and online websites that introduce Adobe Photoshop, but again, there is little information specializing in illustration and comics.ĭownload the full-feature seven-day trial version from the Free Trial Download page.
