Comic Coloring in Corel PhotoPaint X4 ?
Heya everyone,
I have Corel PhotoPaint X4 and wonder if anyone uses the same program for coloring their comic book art? I'm looking for the best or most efficient way to to color in layers. One layer for the Black inked line work, then a layer of colors underneath and coloring special effects on top of the inks. I just can't seem to figure out how to make the open areas on the Black to be transparent for the colors to show through but keep the Black a strong opacity.
A little help?
Thanks in advance,
Matt

use photoshop instead.
No need to use an expensive photoshop... Element works fine...
Just scan your inked image....copy the background image into another one that you will give the option MULTIPLY
than...just add layer between the copy and the background and you will color inside the line without coloring them.
Very simple...
Photoshop element is not expensive...like 100$ max.
hope that helps

Yes...i used the "noise" option to get snow in my firts attempt but i was not 100% OK with it.I try to smudge some blue in it.Thx for the reply.
Did you try "noise" textures...a little bit would give your snow texture fine... You could smudge some blue into it with the tools...well it's only an idea lol
Even without it...it looks great buddy. Nice work
POOR LADY must have wicked pokies lol
Just a joke faerydae....nothing more....technically a camel toe is indeed another thing but it sounded better then just 'nice'.
Vectorizing is another step in photoshop i need to consider.I posted my photoshop attempt of your drawing last night.....hope you like it.
just need to separate your layers.... and you'll have a blast and it's very simple after that with PS
I'm not in to Wonderwoman and i don't know her background.
It's also a fact that everybody looks at art in a different way....this was my impression.....nothing more.
