The lines in Painter definetly look all different 0.0 I really like it. Nice and smooth. I do very much love the brushes in corel but in all honesty I cant use them well. Coloring isnt my best ability although I keep trying anyways. I dont know if my problem is layer usage brush ussage or teh way I blend.

ooh~this is really beautiful~

I'm very interested in this character's story. Where he's been and where he's going with such unusual guides... Beautiful lines. <3

I was wondering what that big round thing was... A fish? It's cute ^^.

Nice attention to detail... the fish are really awesome looking. It seems... very deep. I like it <3

Oooh, really cool lineart! I just adore that little boy-figure, hes so cute! ^_^

The spirit guide are really neat too! Haha the fish one kind of tripped me out when I first saw it because I thought the gil plate was a hole. XD

Actually I'm just ending summer school right now, so it would be the best time for me for a coloring contest (which sounds like so much fun btw!). XD

I have a question. o_o

How do you do your lineart?

Here's a [link] to my lineart tutorial, but that focuses on Photoshop and seeing as I did this in Painter it's a little different. I was able to make smooth lines while zoomed out in painter, and I could turn the picture to ink so I was able to handle it a little more traditionally, and a hell of a lot faster.

The main difference is that I used three different sized pens for this. With the canvas size at 5220x7736 my brush sizes were 3.1 5.4 and 8.2. Randomn, I know, but I wrote them down without bothering to round them off when drawing. The 3.1 was used throughout the whole piece to give me a quick sketch first. I then made a detail layer (the tutorial explains what this is) with the 5.4 over all of the main shape lines concerning the three different characters, leaving the fine detail like fin lines and scales alone. Finally I used the 8.2 to outline the whole abstract shape of them all against the white paper.

Oh, and so you know, in painter I didn't use any of the pen tools. My brush was an oil brush (detail oils brush) set to 100% opacity and no depth. The edges of the 8.2 brush was a little soft for my taste so I sharpened it up in Photoshop after so the lines appeared flatter. And the color effect is just a gradation layer set on color put over the lines. Hope that helps (I'm half asleep atm @_@)
