These things might be common knowledge and I’m just oblivious, but I saw a tweet with a really neat hair brush and wanted to find out how to do it myself, My Japanese is abysmal and Google translate was no help at all, so I played around, with the help of the OP’s screenshots, until I figured out how to get it working.
The outlines themselves are a part of “Layer Properties,” which applies an outline to everything on the layer that the effect is applied to. I prefer vector layers for lining, but this requires rasterizing the layers to achieve opacity.
Examples of the border effect and achieving transparency!
Effect: outline, tone, color – these can all be active at the same time
Border effect: solid line, watercolor line – the latter replicates the watercolor outline option that is in individual brush settings, as far as I can tell
(solid line option) Thickness of edge: the minimum width of the outline is 1px
(solid line option) Edge color: this is an oooold school color picker, but it can be any color you want
Expression color: color, gray, monotone – I believe the gray and monotone work similarly, except the choice to pick the color range with monotone, but I’m not sure it differs from the “color” options in layer effect?
Vector tools: the normal vector tools that apply to vector layers, rasterized layers lose these options
There’s a few images, so I’ll put the rest under a cut. I’m only explaining the solid line option, and then how to convert those outlines to having what they contain to being transparent.
Dan Fessler’s HD Index Painting Technique let’s you paint pixel art in Photoshop in a non-destructive manner, and lets you use pretty much every tool in a perfectly pixel-gradient fashion!
The article gives you everything you need to try it out for yourself.It’s easy to set up and use, and the results are so fucking cool.
pixel artists everywhere dying just so they can roll in their graves
Tumblr flagged this 4 year old post of mine saying it’s against Community Guidelines. Come on Tumblr, is your system this out of wack because i said a certain word your system flagged?
Even though i got my avatar back thanks to that exploit (It got patched btw), i don’t even know if i’ll use this site anymore. I’ve followed so many artists, blogs and things for so many years and this site just… burned itself to the ground. For one thing, i am DEFINITELY not posting any of my art anymore on this site. My entire art blog is practically flagged but luckily, i backed it up.
Really sucks i can’t host my Patreon polls on this site anymore. Well… i can but everyone left this site soooo what’s the point.
