I’m an old hand at photoshop, but I never have been able to figure out how to make my drawings done with ink on paper look nice in photoshop. What I would like to know is if you can import simple pen work or pencil work and create nice finished Ink Work like in Comic Books using photoshop tools.
My usual routine is to scan in a drawing, then crank up the contrast to get rid of the paper and smudges. I then paint color on layers above the drawing layer. This works pretty well, but I feel like the scanned in pen lines are too cruddy. I want lines that have varying thickness, and I want to be able to create them in photoshop. I feel like when I try to make really thick lines on paper, they ink bleeds a bit and then looks cruddy when scanned.
I’m looking for advice, website links, magazine articles, books, or whatever. Unfortuntately the search terms are so vague that it brings up a bazillion hits when I just search the web.
thanx
