Hey all! Lazy Sunday afternoon has me drawing some art for the next adventure or two, and I figured I'd post my process for cleaning it up before I put it into the adventures on the off chance you were interested.

As you can see, most of my art starts off as a scribble in blue ink. Instead of using pencils, I remove the construction lines in Photoshop.

I'm using Photoshop CC 2018, but the basic idea will work in much older versions.

I've always wondered how artist got rid of their blue/red color pencil marks, thanks for showing this. I don't use photoshop much as I prefer traditional mediums like watercolor and color pencil, still, I'm going to try this out. Thanks again.

I'm not sure how it's done in, say, comics - I think there may actually be some erasing involved, I'm not sure. The disadvantage of this approach is of course that the original is covered in blue scrawl; you never wind up with an 'original' that looks nice and clean.
