This tutorial explains how to ink, as in where to make your lineart thicker and thinner, which really can be used for traditional and tablet users. Even if you have a tablet, or if you are a traditional inker this has some things that can help you. It has tips for people scanning in their lineart and some brush settings for tablet ppl. Then it goes over the path tool, and how to use it with different brush settings. NO TABLET NEEDED. I haven't tested earlier versions but I think I've used this method since Photoshop 7 and I've used every version of Photoshop since that version, so it should work for most computers.

FAQ:
Is there some way of automatically making the fade extend to the end of the path?
No, not that I know of there's no way to do this. You can always change the minimum width to a heigher percentage, and erase the end to make it tapper off. Or you can just go through the hard way an play around with the fade length in the brush window. Sorry ^^;

Why isn't the fade thing working D:
you have not gone into your brush window (F5 or window>brushes), gone to shape dynamic and switched the brush to 'fade' instead of pen pressure under size jitter. If you have not done this, it ain't gonna work. Also, mess with the fade value (the textbox next to the 'control' drop down menu. : )

I make my tutorials for free, but if you enjoy my tutorials and want to donate some funds for gas, art books and such, I would appreciate it. [link]

Nice tutorial (though I got I kinda lost cuz it's a bit wordy). Can I ask, how to simulate/fade brush stroke only at one side and not at both ends?

this is really helpful, now i know what to do with the brush settings

i always seem to have trouble making my artwork neat-looking. i use photoshop CS5 and a tablet, and i tend to draw directly onto the tablet because my scanner sucks (i could scan in my art first though, but i never seem to find time to). anyway, for some reason, my artwork never seems to look neat, and if i really try to make it neat, i end up screwing up because i try too hard. possibly this is because my style is naturally kind of sketchy-ish, which i don't mind, but apparently it brings down the quality of my artwork. do you think you could give me some tips?

can't read anything, gray over more gray and really small font.

I really need to read this because I need help but I can't even read the god damn thing. Really bad choice of text color over background color, bro.

Oh no! The first two "People who used this tutorial:" links are dead - they must have shuffled stuff around.

This is an awesome tutorial - very helpful. Thanks!
