EDIT 10/05/2015: Fehnryr suggested an amazing site for editing your traditional art pics if you want an alternative from photoshop & softwares. Use www.ribbet.com/ Β to raise contrasts, make colors pop and make your pics as great as the real life drawings! Thank you Fehryr for the suggestion!!

Β  Hi Picolo, I have a little problem with photoshop, I would be so happy if you had any clue on how to fix this...
(it's german but I hope that won't be an issue if you compare it to your programm)
As you can see the white line at the bottom looks very different to yours, and I really can't draw smooth lines like in Paint Tool SAI. They are always edgy like that (and it's a 100% because of the programm). Do you have any idea on how I can change that? I mean are my settings different somewhere?Β

Thanks a lot for this! I lately decided to go more into inking/black-and-white, so I will consider what you wrote here .
At the moment, I go over my sketch with a very fine pen, erase the sketch (which results in the black lines lighting up, which I don't like), and then I go over the drawing and add "weights" and variations to the lines.

So my sister is a professional photographer and her favorite days to shoot photos are cloudy days. When it's sunny it's hard to control brightness, and your colors with be 'blown out' or corrupted on screen.Β

How can I ink lines well in Photoshop WITHOUT using a drawing tablet...? I use a mouse to draw for now, and this tutorial seems to cater to the drawing tablet crowd...

Thanks for this great tutorial! I recently started playing with traditional inking and the issue with pictures losing "soul" when you ink is definitely a problem I've faced. So thanks for the super relevant tips on how to give your pictures more variability! ^_^

I use krita, its similar to photoshop and it works pretty well. the only difference is that I have to use stabilizer on krita for lineart. I would use photoshop more, but I graduated.Β try krita and see if you like it!

The artist of the manga Claymore, Yagi Norihiro, also suffered from the problem of stale inking, his solution was to make a copy of the artwork in it's sketched phase, and then compare it with the inked version to see what could be improved to bring the life back into it. He speaks of this in his interview, which can be found in some of the manga's latest chapters. www.mangahere.co/manga/claymor…

See, you explained the weight of the line as well as gave tips for how to ink; this is what tutorials usually don't do - or they'll give one or the other. The exercices yo ugave at the beginning will be helpful I swear!
