Tamaki's way : Pencil lining to digital sketch

hi everyone !!

Some of my friends say is rather difficult to make sketches for coloring digital without using pen tablet. Yes, some friends do like digital coloring but don't have a pen tablet, they use the mouse. 

Sometimes, having a pen tablet but prefer to make a scratch on paper using a pencil (for example, me)

then, this time I will give a very easy step for inputting your sketches neatly into a digital file. 

very very easy way :D 

let's start

1. First, make a pencil sketch on a piece of paper. This's a pencil sketch of mine

*I don't know any of the people who read my blog, then I will for the sake of comfort with "securing" my pictures .. hehehe*

2. Then, scan your images using a scanner.

I would use adobe photoshop for this step. So , open your photoshop ;)

my scan results :

3.  Open your image file. See the box "layers", point your pointer toward the symbol "padlock" on the layer, hold and drag the icon to the direction of "trash" on the lower end.

4. Then , select the color range to clean up the sketch

5. Directing the "eye-drop tool" towards the sketches that will be removed , then point up to a maximum fuzziness. Click OK

6. After that will appear dotted lines that surround your sketch line. 

Press the "delete" on the keyboard, the white color in your sketch scan results will disappear and leave you only the sketch lines. 

press "ctrl + D" to remove the marking on your line.

the result will be like this :3

7.  Right click on the layer and select option "flatten image"

you'll get the result :

8. lighting set the image using the "brightness and contrast" setting.

reduce light to a minimum. repeat this step until you feel the line density is in accordance with what you want.

9. Aaaaaaaand , you get your final result xDD

*PS : If you want a line without a white background (for ease when coloring by putting line on the top layer), you just need to pass step no.7 (flatten image)

You can see the final result of this pic coloring here
