AFTER SIX YEARS OF USING SKETCHBOOK I FINALLY KNOW WHAT THAT WAS FOR AND I FINALLY KNOW HOW TO MAKE MY LINE ART LOOK COOOL!

[@nightgal5497]

THANK YOU for this tutorial! i wish i had found this before i spent like six hours on colouring the lineart with the weirdest technique though... well at least from now on i can save some time!

[@Commandodesigns]

Thanks dude. These super short videos on one trick are immensely helpful.

[@Backinthedase]

Bam! Thank you soo much. This saves me so much headaches haha

[@xdraw6044]

I just started my drawing channel and this helps a alot

[@paulthebukkit]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I’ve used Sketchbook for SO LONG without knowing this. This is gonna make all of my art sooooo much better

[@QDrawsArt]

This is a stellar piece of advice! I always hated redrawing my line work, only for it to get messed up. Thank you so much for sharing this trick!!!!! You're such a talented catoonist and have inspired me to one day come up with a KZbin channel for my own character(s)!

[@sheq2222]

You have no idea how much you helped get out of this issue it's been 2 years and I was trying to find a way to recolor it!! THANK YOUUU

[@cherylboxall7446]

what I do for the colouring is I use a coloured fill bucket on the line work layer and make sure the colour doesn't go into my characters and if it does then I make sure the lines are all connected. Next I take white and use the fill bucket. (I suggest that you take away the coloured layer after you check the lines). Take a new layer and you see you can colour only inside the lines. I really hope this helped you (if you wanted to know) :).

[@Sophie-qi5bh]

thank you!!!

[@NodokenStar-k917]

I had no idea you could do that. I thought that the transparency lock was useless thinking that it didn't change the art. But now, this solved my issue of painting the line-art. Thank you!

[@ideo_art]

A years that I use Sketchbook Pro and draw my line arts color by color... You just open a new door for me and like that, less time on my color selection for my line arts... Thanks!

[@naniakaHinata039]

Oh my goodness you have no idea how confused I was about the coloring until you explained it! Thank you so much! :D

[@nuttawornsujumnong3523]

I've been literally looking for this tool/technique everywhere! Thank you so much! your artworks are awesome!

[@AdrianeRdfjell]

I found your channel for some months ago, and by watching your tutorials my drawing skills has improved so soo much! I love your videos, and Cherry is so sweet:)

[@CartoonH2O]

I just discovered your channel last night and I have to say, you are awesome. I've only watched a few of your videos so far but my god, they are so helpful and the way you describe stuff its just so easy to understand. I'm definitely gonna be using Sketchbook pro more often now. THANKS MAN.

[@InvertedBeans]

I accidentally found this feature existed while playing around with the app. I did not know how I did it and for all my other pieces I colored/shaded them using my own tedious method. I finally decided to look for a how to vid. And look! It’s right there- the best time saver ever.

[@Elsisalittleconcerned]

I'm lowkey embarrassed I never thought to do this before- thank you so much

[@mattybdrawing3144]

Omg this helped me solve a problem that I've had for such a long time!!! Thank you

[@beagllee1436]

[@toni2toni]

[@kibakreations9740]

AHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH I HAVE BEEN USING THIS APP FOR A LONG LONG TIME AND NEVER FIGURED IT OUT ♥♥♥

[@sp-tj9ye]

Thank you for this simple & to the point tutorial. Love from India

[@ArcanaFauna]

Thank you so much! I've been looking for a video on this but every time I searched "How to color lineart" it was always about coloring inside the lineart already created. Thank you!

[@MrTomemac]

Awesome tip on the color selection.

[@Thollis1987]

Thank you so much! I couldn't wrap my mind about the technique!

[@1on1Animation]

Thank you Paris! It was driving me a crazy.💪💪💪

[@Espresso_plz]

Thanks, man! I thought this process was going to be complicated, You showed me it was much simpler than I expected! I'm glad I saw this vid!

[@shadowlink5945]

Thank you so much!!!! ive been wondering for the longest time if this was possible! your tutorial was so easy to follow too!

[@SKR_834]

I've been trying to find out how to color only on the lines for months this was a huge help, thanks you so much

[@Toonboxstudio]

Blue sounds cool! I like that! Break down the contrast in the pictures :) It will compliment Cherry's jade colored eyes too :) Thanks for the tip ;)

[@tisineverfear1490]

[@LoVitOw]

Greetings from Brazil! Damn seeing this i think about the thousand hours that i have spended redoing my lineart in another color or using select tool, thank u man u are a very good man =D

[@LoneLupine]

Super helpful!! Thank you!

[@vizestroowash]

Thank you for this straightforward video!

[@SirSmee87]

Just wondering, is it better to paint every thing on different layers by hand? Is there a reason you dont use the fill in tool? Im just trying to get used to using sketchbook with my new cintiq 22hd. Thanks!

[@GarmanyRachel]

This was so helpful!!! Thank you!

[@tingliasmr]

Throwing this one out there and hoping I get a yes but it is possible to select the linework you've done and change it to another tool? So for example I did my line drawing with the paintbrush and want to change it to the chisel pen. I want to change it to something thicker with a substantial line but I can't see a way of doing it. I tried filling in the background but even with all the lines connected and it locked it just flooded the whole screen orange! lol

[@user-el6qb2hm3d]

So how do you color your line art with your line art staying? I do my line art and then i open another layer and put color on it but the color is on top of the line art. Can someone help i cant colorrrrr lol

[@tabitha6268]

Angel Art move the layer down

[@craigevans4694]

Move the layer down and then lock it.

[@KendallFalk]

lol

[@elitemation]

Move the layer where the color is in down

[@immablonde1563]

Omg ik what you mean!! Thank you guys for answering the question!

[@bootsdotexe]

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!! When I've drawn coloured linearr I've always done it manually from SCRATCH, haha! This makes it a ton easier! So thank you, you're a lifesaver! Or should I say artsaver?? Meh, same same but different.

[@SavanahVLogs]

Thank you so much for this video, this is the most helpful tutorial I've seen for coloring on Sketchbook Pro.

[@ElecElectra]

My question is there a way to autofill like paint bucket to make base coloring easier?

[@spookyspeks]

I did the same thing but it’s only colouring the edges of the line art??

[@lol-sl4oj]

hi! so did u ever figure it out?

[@_melala]

i have the same problem

[@visibletonone.superiortoal2033]

@@_melala press harder or the fill tool will not work.

[@lillianna6067]

check and see if your brush is set to multiply! :)

[@hamsiniravishankar4293]

Did anyone figure it out?

[@philt8322]

A very useful video. Many thanks

[@maximelebars4810]

Thank you.(sorry I'm French).Enfin j'attendais ce tuto depuis longtemps... il était la depuis longtemps, bref.Thank you.

[@Thebes17]

So locking the transparency in sketchbook pro is like clipping masks in paint tool sai or Photoshop?

[@ho3einmousavi893]

hi man, how can I have this icon brush in my sketchbook? 😊

[@d_i_y2024]

Fast forward to 2020. I have a few questions since your technique above, is not working for me. Which version of Sketchbook pro is this? In my background I can only have one colour (a solid background colour with lighting variation) however, you have the bunny coloured in (without the line, in your background above)??? I move layers around and lock each one individually to see if i'm doing something wrong, but the above video is not doing the trick to colour in the lines. Any advice please.

[@Toonboxstudio]

I like the blue idea too :)

[@aleksandrasidheri331]

Thank you, this was very very helpful

[@Toonboxstudio]

No problem :) glad to help out :)

[@Natalie_5126]

Super helpful, thanks a lot!

[@Toonboxstudio]

Im super glad that you now know how to use it :)))

[@weedesignART]

Is there a way to do this in photoshop besides the clipping mask thing ? Maybe a more simple way ? Thanks

[@SailingwiththeLitzenbergers]

Thank you!! Exactly what I needed!

[@Toonboxstudio]

A real selection tool that i can also use to color in. I need a Color blend mode, grouping layers, warp tool. and quite a few more that i cant think of lol

[@Paleo_Pythons]

Omg this is so helpful. I was failing so hard at coloring boruto XD now I can color him properly

[@logijes]

Thanks for this! Been looking for this one for some time now. And very good channel, good job and great work man!

[@GabrielGonzalez-ds6el]

Good job bro. Straight and to the point. Excellent.

[@FAFash-wo9yg]

Thank you so much. Just what I’ve been looking for. HERO 😀

[@irenetravers8381]

Hi I'm new to sketchbook pro. I'm attempting to colour artwork that I have manually scanned in....My question is how do you separate your line art away from the white background (paper) into it's own layer in sketchbook pro which can then be painted? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

[@birdbeak36]

omg thank you so much for this i have been wondering how to do this for a long time thank u again!!!

[@kellys3664]

so easy but a was so confused when i saw people doing it. now i know thanks for explaining this clearly

[@amarlene94]

That was super amazing!! :), I've been wondering how you did that for a while

[@claudiallop9779]

Dude you saved my life with this

[@rubyrwby7559]

so thats what that lock icon was for! thanks Paris!

[@youthoughthiswasachannelbu8188]

ok but how do you get the base color, paint bucket is hard to use cause i suck at ending lines so can you make a video for that if you dont already have one

[@blutoxic2964]

This video was a blessing!

[@jornpohlan3102]

Thank for this great video.

[@Toonboxstudio]

Hey thats awesome! I am super happy that you found my videos useful ;)

[@albear972]

Great tutorial. When I attempt to do this I always end up with a very thin line of white/grey pixels around the colored line art. I then have to color all the borders by hand. Why does that happen?

[@XxShuushiixX]

Thanks a lot! Also for answering my question on lineart :) You're the best!

[@ericstrickland6015]

You did have both layers locked right?? will it kinda of worked. i locked my line art and the layer under it was my color but it went outside the lines.

[@kingdavidthefirst]

Please I need help here. When I paint a light blue color, when I take my brush over it again, the opacity increases, any help on how I can turn that function off

[@Lily-lq7or]

I know this is super old but i recently started getting into digital art and I know the basics but like I drew something then saved it as a jpg but i decided to add something else to it now and i dont have the original anymore. Whenever I try to paint over the jpg with white, the colour wont show up its super light it just gives it like a shadow instead of white..cos I was trying to add white to the hair to give it a shiny effect. I tried moving the layers up and down and even tried multiply but nothing works. What am I doing wrong? how can I paint over a jpg or do I have to do the lineart again?

[@alinageorge2681]

Thanks for the tip!

[@iatychi]

Oh my god thank you! This saved me a headache and a few hours of work-

[@ariiiad1738]

OMG! Thank You soo much, this helps me so much, thanks for make this tutorial!

[@Th3GaMb3r]

First of all!!! What tools to u use to do Outline!! N 2nd of all i lock the transparency n it doesn’t let me color over it!!!

[@Lanshallot]

I might be in a bit of trouble, I tried doing the exact same thing but the color in the different layer kept its absence. Any solutions? Edit: So, I've been doing it wrong and I'm much happier with my drawings when it looks more vibrant(for me). This video is really helpful and I'm so happy to learn from this video.

[@gwendolyndail2249]

So basically for me if I press that lock, I cant color it inside the lines unless its already colored. So either way I still have to do a whole bunch of erasing of my color not being in the line and stuff

[@nicolle6978]

Hi, I lock my line work art and the layer under it was the color but it keep coloring outside the lines! PLEASE HELP

[@Eros_60]

Thank you so much !

[@ladymustang30]

Thanks! :D you are super awesome. And You should make the bunny blue because that the accent color u use for cherry and u use pink on everything else. It'll be a nice change :)

[@Zo-uq2ni]

HOLY MOLY THANK YOU SO MUCH U JUST SAVED MY LIFEEEE

[@maxtheflower9390]

How would you do it for mobile though? Same way?
