I know this is offtopic, but does anyone here know how to clean up colored lineart that's been scanned? My girlfriend is doing it by zooming in on the image and using the blend tool on a very small scale, but it's taking ridiculously long.

I'm SURE there's a better way to do it, but when I try and find tutorials on it, all I can find is how to clean up black&white lineart and then add color after... not quite what I need.

That's probably the only way to do it. You can use the clone stamp tool, too. Not sure exactly what you want though. I'm kind of an idiot, though, so don't just take my word.

VECTORIZE!

fuggedabout photoshop, illustrator is where it's at when it comes to line art. (a wacom tablet doesn't hurt either)

right after i posted that i read the first page,

i decided to do the stephen barnes one shot of drawing, the 1 hour still life with no cmd-z! (ctl-z for you pc guys)

its been about 4 years since ive had to do a timed still life and i never really enjoyed drawing.... until i got a tablet.

this was just what i needed to warm me up for the design work i have to do today, thanks for creating this awesome thread and getting my creative juices flowing ever so early this morning

I bought a new tablet, and it hurt my hand a ton to draw without a regular pencil! I'm supa behind too. I might just do the other one with not a computer

I can't draw to save my life ... let alone on the computer ... but I was wondering if any of you would be able to help me out. My friends and I are starting a supporters group for the Chicago Fire, a soccer team in the MLS. We called the group HUSARIA, click to find out more, because we're a polish supporters group. We are getting a local bar/cafe to sponsor us in getting t-shirts. However we need a logo of a hussar to put on the shirts. after searching google images and google in general for a while, we couldn't find anything good. so what i wanted to ask of you guys, could one of you try to come up with an image to put on the shirts for us. The idea is to have the image of a hussar on the horse holding up a flag with the chicago fire logo on it. the whole image to be white because its going on to a black t-shirt and keeping it to one color keeps the cost down. The image below is essantially what we would like it to look like but the horse a little more up and the flag pointing up.
If any of you would do this i would love you forever and you would get a free shirt when its made.
if anyone has any questions, let me know.
