How to Make Anime Lineart Photoshop

Step 1.


First, prepare a sketch. It doesn't have to be perfect because we're gonna change that when we begin our lines. If you noticed, the lineart tutorial will be based on this anime face. Look how adorable she looks!

Step 2.


Now, open up your brush presets. This can be found at the top left of Photoshop. Note* Photoshop CS or Photoshop 7. Anyways, set your brush to smoothing and shape dynamics. This will make your lines nice and smooth. Make sure your setting these optio   

Step 3.


Now, make a new layer ontop of your sketch layer. Call the new layer 'lineart'. An easy way to make a new layer is by pressing ctrl + n.

Step 4.


Slowly, start tracing your sketch. Don't mess up or make a line jagged! This will make your image uneven and loose that smooth quality.

Step 5.


Now, do your whole image and don't mess up! Your anime lineart is awesome! See how pretty! By the way, I added a symbol on the middle of her forehead. Delete your sketch layer to get rid of those red scribbled lines.

Step 6.


Thank God! Those red lines made the image loose quality. Now, look at those clean black lines. Feast your eyes on this beautiful anime lineart! I shall call her Sasha! Lol, or maybe sushi head! Anyways, check out my other tutorial on how to color in
