i just started learning digital art so i made this auto action to help simplify things in my head
i also made a step by step for this, i hope it can be easier for other beginners
(english is not my mother tongue so pardon me if i made any mistakes)
How to use:
> Set a reference and lower it opacity (if you have one- if not you can delete this layer)
Example: mine's gonna be this drawing i made during class before the pandemic
> Sketch
Example: yeah im gonna trace my own work this is just an example - sue me if you care
> Sketch again (if you think it is needed)
Example:
> Lineart
Example: start using the vector layer so it will be easier to correct small mistakes (im gonna be using the G-pen and, for this case, im gonna duplicate the layer to make the blue sketch lineart separated). After you finish, you can rasterize the layer - so that you won't accidently move a vector
> Mask
Example: mask the area you want to put color on. For that, take the [Wand Tool] and click on [Area Scalling], I think 2 or 3 pixels to be the ideal, but you can have your fun trying other numbers if you want. Now, you select the background, then invert the selection, fill in with any color and mask
(invert selection)
(fill in with the bucket the area you want to put color on)
(click on mask)
This separates the space you want to draw on from the rest, you can now put on the flat colors on top of it without fear of spilling
As you can see, no matter how off i am from the lines it wont go further than what was delimited
> Shade
Example: use the [Multiply] layer for shading. Shade the way you prefer, im not here to judge and neither are you
> Details
Example: do some details in this layer for safety purposes and to be more organized - to not accidentally interfere with something you spent time doing
> Highlights
Example: use the [Add (Glow)] layer to highlight whatever you want, or don't, again: im in no position to judge
> Don't forget to save your progress
