Welcome to CrystalXP! Thank you for the tutorial. It's clear and pretty interesting for me. I wonder what size you scan and open your image in Photoshop. Hope you will enjoy your time here and I'm sure that people will appreciate this tutorial.

I dont know use a REAL pencil

thx    image scanned in 1250x1224x8 300dpi

sometimes it helps to draw something quickly

Whatever... great work man!!!

Thanks a lot 2_7   ! I have been searching for a tut like this

REALLY????!! wow that means you have a tablet or a digital pen?? here in my country they are kind of xpensive (250 US$ the cheapest) so.. ill havr to wait until I start studiying graphinc design to get 1 xD

I think drawing with a real pencil and then scanning in the picture will work as well. I also think that's the way Damballa did it, but I'm not 100% sure.
