Grow Selection Technique For Line Work - tutorial part 1
So another little mini tut (eye candy provided by old art of Amy role playing) – thought i might show how i did the bodice and laces and stuff on the last post “Anticipation”. This is a fairly common practice, but in case any you haven't picked it up before here it is:
Pic 1: so you have some line art you want to edit – in this case adding some straps and ribbons-thingies.A :put a layer above the line art (set to “multiply”) and flood fill it with dark grey (or some dark colour if you wish). B: make another layer (above the grey) set to “normal” and paint your staps, laces etc. Here i used Krita's straight line tool with the brush size sensitivity turned off, but you might you whatever works best in your software, point to point, etc. For the ribbon-thingies i used Krita's weighted brush tool for nice smooth curves
Pic 2: A:On the Selection tab drop down choose “Select Opaque” - that will select all the white areas on the level you just painted. B: Again from the Section menu choose “Grow Selection” - here i set the selection to grow by 5 pixels all around – the amount will depend on the line width you want.
Pic 3 Create a layer below the white lines and flood fill (bucket tool) the selection with black (or whatever colour lines you want). - Here, depending on the programme you're using and the settings on your flood tool the outline might be too soft, just right, or too pixelated-jaggy – fo fix this either “feather” the selecion a couple pixels or play with the flood tool's setting – e.g., in Krita one touch of the bucket usually gives a nice line, but sometimes too soft, so a 2nd touch with the tool might help, too much though and it get's jaggy.
Pic 4: A. Merge your white and black layers. B. Erase the parts you don't want , and C. turn off or delete your grey layer. (Then you can merge all the line work together if you want, colour, etc...)
Part Two of tut:

(BTW, just using this drawing as an example - final version of this pic does not have these added elements, etc)...
