Someone translate please.

i second this. it'd be pretty urgently needed :o

Art superiority complex much?

I'm pretty sure that's not what he's actually writing but I never bothered to read it because my kanji library is rather limited

Although I can't dismiss the possibility..

i got the real translation by a friend.
this one is a total fail, also its just done 50%
Its even worse because shii added senseless comments that dont have anything to do with whats actually written there.
thanks!

"magically create a perfect-looking sketch"

You lost me.

Better and complete translation. I'm sorry if I got some of the Photoshop terminology wrong, I'm not an artist...

Also I still can't figure out why the "Dodge tool" has such a funny name.

thanks a lot nanasisan.
thats much more detailed.

I never thought of doing step #3. Nice idea.

I dont understand "color blending the lines" step.

Doesnt he just erase the lines?

I think he starts to blend the color og his lineart to the colors it borders, I.E, the lines aroudn the skin of her leg start to become more like the color of her leg. You see it often in certain style, I believe the art from the artist that did Odin Sphere does that.

Gives everything a sort of hand painted canvas quality to it.

Thanks for the clarification, I tried doing that but it ends up smudgy and low contrast, guess I have to keep trying

If only coloring that well was as easy as doing as said. But the biggest problem is choosing the right shades, light sources and stuff like that :(
