Ahaha, oh God, yes. With me that'll be just 'doing' the paw digits. Sketching is fine, but once you get to the actual 'clean' phase of doing them (regardless of with or without lines), it's such a finnicky thing and I'm never really satisfied with the result, so there's always that bubbly feeling of anxiety when I get to that part >.O As for the spoily-streams, that's been one of my big issues aswell. I mean, every page technically spoils 'something', but I've been apprehensive about streaming working on pages, mostly because I have no tiers that allow for early access to avoid splitting the following. The individual panels thing might be a good idea though, depending on whether or not that works with your actual process.

2019-08-30 08:06:29 +0000 UTCHah, I can empathize about how how feel about the lines. The one thing I sort of irrationally hate/get stressed by is coloring paw pads. I have no idea why, aside from it feels like "ugh I'd be done now if it wasn't for these." I can even do them first and still get that spike of frustration. :P I've been kicking around the idea of streaming some pages while I worked on them-- my only issue right now is all the pages I have ready to go are pretty spoiler-y. I can probably find some individual panels to do, though!

2019-08-29 22:38:41 +0000 UTCReally? I mean, I can see the flat color thing working that way, as I've made that experience myself, but coloring in the lines has always stressed me out on a majorly uncomfortable level :/ Guess everyone functions a little differently in those regards. Any chance we might get to watch you work on a page some time in the future (or anything else, really)?

2019-08-29 15:50:29 +0000 UTCMy pleasure! I wish there was a faster way, but I do admit, sometimes it's a nice brain-dead way I can end my work day if I'm feeling burnt out (same for flat colors.)

2019-08-28 09:52:44 +0000 UTCNo, it makes perfect sense. That's what I do when I apply color to lines aswell. I just thought someone with your experience might have a magic trick up their sleeve X3 Cheers for your time <3

2019-08-27 15:17:29 +0000 UTCHeya! Unfortunately, I don't think there's an easy way aside from recoloring the lines manually (at least, in Photoshop). I start with black inks, lock the transparent pixels, and recolor the lines using a color key. (If that doesn't make sense without visual context, let me know and I can do a quick tutorial to show what I mean.)

2019-08-25 23:03:37 +0000 UTCSo what I was wondering about as an artist; the previous-to-last-step, where the lines go from black to ... well ... not black, how is that done? I've been strugling to find a way to do that, without having to go in and manually adapt the lines to whatever color lays underneath - unless that's just the way you do it and I'm looking for an easier way when there isn't one <.<
