To give you painter software users to detailed analysis to share the drawing of girls cartoon illustrations of the tutorial.
Here will be using the Comicstudio Chinese version (hereinafter referred to as CS), after all, Japanese version of the tadpole text is still difficult to understand.
Special Recommendation: "Comicstudio Pro draw cartoon Comics process and Method", "Comicstudio interface diagram and creation flow"
Open CS, menu new page, according to the default settings can be, get a 600dpi,a4 size of the blank canvas.
Select the Pencil tool in the tool panel (Figure 2) and draw the draft easily.
The first detail does not need to be accurate, but the character frame must be set up, otherwise in the later stroke will encounter a lot of trouble. You can use the horizontal Flip tool in the sidebar (Figure 3) to see the canvas flip in the drawing process to make it easier to find some structural flaws and avoid the visual inertia of long time painting.
Finally, the draft will be finished, then click on the Color display button in the Layers panel and reduce the transparency appropriately, at which point the line is light blue and more convenient to differentiate from the next version.
2ComicStudio Draw Line Draft step 2 draw the line
Create a new raster layer and start the online draft. Select the Pen tool (Figure 6) to draw.
If you have the experience of using Shinsui, this step will be relatively easy. No experience does not matter, CS unique simulation pen can also draw a very beautiful lines oh ~ ~ (Figure 7)

It is convenient to use the Zoom tool on the toolbar (Figure 8) to quickly toggle the view size when drawing. General 25% is the most suitable proportion of painting, magnified to 50% and 100% when the details can be depicted. Shrink to 12.5% to see if the structure is biased. 33.3% and 66.7% are not recommended proportions, at this time the screen will appear more serious sawtooth, not convenient to view line quality.
After the drawing is complete, the line may have some more coarse feeling. It doesn't matter, select the draft layer, right button to convert the layer, the raster layer into a vector layer. (Figure 9)
And then use the tools shown in Figure 10 to do a little bit of finishing, you can achieve the thickness of the line, thin, smooth, to stray points and many other functions, very convenient. The final draft effect, as shown in Figure 11, is not very clean and beautiful?

One might ask, why not use a vector layer painting when you start?
This may be a matter of personal habits. But the line of the vector layer is vector, in the painting time will not be as accurate as raster layer (with flash line of the friend should have feelings, CS is not so obvious just); and the vector layer does not support the tip of the transparent color, spring rolls think this is very impersonal design, want to erase lines also need to select rubber Tools, It's too much trouble. And the raster layer just directly in the blank to hold down the ALT key to take color, pen tool can be turned into a rubber tool in an instant, want to convert back to also need only in black place to take color can be, quite convenient.
And then it's the Select menu, "Export" specifies pixel image data, as shown in Figure 12.
Drag the exported PSD file into the Phtoshop for processing. Because the 600DPI resolution is high enough, in Black-and-white printing, the line will not exist sawtooth. However, if it is painted in color illustrations, especially on the PC, the effect will be very poor (serrated very serious) so here we have some small deal with the line, so that it looks more tactful, closer to the effect of hand-painted.
First filter "Blur" Gaussian blur, the radius is set to 2~3 between. Then ctrl+m to adjust the color curve, improve the light part. Then Ctrl+u, adjust the hue (Figure 13, remember to put on the coloring hook), the line to dark red, you can avoid the blunt black line.
When the above steps are complete, remember to reduce the image resolution to 300DPI to cut down some dimensions. If your machine is indeed very strong, of course, you can also paint under 600DPI, but the size of the file can have 1XXM of the huge Oh.
The final result of the line draft is as follows (25%)

3Painter color step 3 painter Coloring
Since the main purpose of this article is not to explore the use of painter, spring rolls are only briefly spoken here.
Turn on the painter, paste the line layer into a new layer, and then change the layer properties to multiply to ensure that the line is not covered by color.
Create a new layer to paint under the online manuscript layer. Choose a textured paper, with the Oilpastel tool plus just add water tool can easily show this soft hue, very simple. After the character color is finished with the eraser will be painted out of color, in the canvas layer with watercolor texture (online should have download) OK, finished!
