To honest I'm still quite bad at photoshop. When I have the image at full size the pixels are really obvious. Is there any easy way to stop that happening or do I just have to go along cleaning up every line?

Only version I have of this. Cover art I did for a band I like as a school project. Original was without text, I threw the text onto this to slap it onto a webcomic.

I don't understand what you mean with the pixels being really obvious.

But there is no one-hit-wonder-click that will make everything smooth. Except for blur, which makes it too smooth.

For drawings like these I would recommend doing it vector-style. Whip up the pen tool in Photoshop/Illustrator or use Flash's line tool.

Got an example?

just wanted to share this cause i thought it was artistic and funny.
In our anatomy class we had the assignment in the last 10 minutes of class to draw a heart and label the four chambers as well as major arteries and veins (basically less than 10 things)

most of the class basically just took their paper drew a heart and divided it into four pieces and wrote the chambers.

At the end of class we were asked to hang them on the board.

I went all out because i'm me.

May I have a scanned version for revision purposes.

[k00lwhip]

when I get it back I'll scan it just for you babe

our Anatomy teacher basically just tells people "why can't you be more like JC" pretty much.
since a lot of our projects are making our own study material and since it's anatomy it's a lot of drawing and memorizing.

Watercolor has to be one of the most fun mediums ever.

Usually I hang out in the Ms paint section, but I drew this in muro (unfortunately required) for the Dr. Pepper contest on dA:
[IMG]http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/097/6/7/dr__pepper_mountain_by_theloneredsheep-d3dh26z.jpg[/IMG]
Some aspects I like about it, and others not so much. I would have asked for critique on it before submitting but the contest ends today. Seeing as I am late, I would like it if you could go to its link:
[url]http://theloneredsheep.deviantart.com/#/d3dh26z[/url]
The reason being that, as I'm sure you know, on dA you need to be seen in order to be seen more (as trivial as that sounds). I'm just asking.

[b]Avoidance[/b]

We 
could sit alone in the room,
Darkness shrouding;
We 
could embrace each
Other with certain simple
Reverence,
Conforming to one 
Another purely on the floor;
Then the room becomes stiff,
The air becomes warm,
We’ll 
never leave one another
but my stomach feels coy
while I stand up in the filth
with my broken mind
dampening your hair 

Poem I wrote, please tell me what you think!

[QUOTE=Detlef;29041344]what canvas size do you draw it in?[/QUOTE]

Ah, too small I'm guessing... It's only about 900 high.

If I start with a much larger canvas but of the same proportions that I want the finished piece to be, then resize the image when it's finished to the size I want, will that keep all the lines smooth? I guess it will.

But it looks bad. All wishy-washy, no definition to the piece.

Agreed.

[Detlef]

No seriosuly you should learn the basics before you go and do it the way you think is most comfortable.

No bascolors makes the drawing look sloppy and the background color comes through creating ugly blothes
you are not intending.
The low opacity brushes fucks up the values, you want it to be a light color? choose the color it should have instead of just
guessing a lighter color and turn down the opacity. it's sloppy and looks bad, but
most of all it's bad for learning. drawing with full opacity brushes doesn't mean that you can't have
pen pressure btw.
Also never use white or black on low opacity to shade it, this is a habit you have to drop.

We are bros that's why I'm telling you this

[editline]8th April 2011[/editline]

Sure you can just go ahead and say "this is the way I want to do it, it's my painting" but that won't get you anywhere

My tablet is broken, it doesn't detect pressure any more :(
