Wow very nice inking and coloring tut. I was struggling using the Live Paint Bucket and you've cleared up so many problems I've had. I thought that I would have to use my tablet to ink characters before watching this. Keep putting out great content.

Great tutorial and cool character! I'm thinking of drawing something similar and animating it into a video. 🤔🙃

[@ollies_doodles_]

Thank you mate! Yeah go for it, that sounds awesome 🙌

[@stefanmuhlig1156]

Thx for the tut sensei🙌 you ever tried Animation to create such a Charakter? Working with the Line Tool is easy too. You can easy cut up the lines you dont need it.

[@ollies_doodles_]

Thanks, mate! I haven't ever delved into animation, but I can definitely see how the characters I design could work for it! Maybe in the future, I will learn to animate! Any software you recommend?
