Dani’s Videos #11: Digital Ink and Paint
This is a small line and color job done on the computer. I first created my drawing using Adobe Illustrator, then copied it into Photoshop to put some basic paint onto it.
For more information about this process, see my previous posts here:

Dani, I don’t think I have ever posted on your site, but I should have. Thank you for all of these tutorials and reviews. As a current illustration student, I find all of this stuff extremely helpful.

You are awsome. I now know how to ink in illustrator without even screwing around with the brush tilt . those simple little variation settings was all it took. I love this site. Thank you thank you, thank you.

Ver nice drawing. Do you have any tricks for vectorizing the final image with colorfills?

Hi Dani, I’ve got a little trouble with my Illustrator brush.
When I go to “Calligraphic Brush Options”, the only variation options for “Diameter” are Fixed and Random. A few others show up under them, including “Pressure”, but the type is light grey – they’re unavailable.
Any help? I’m using Illustrator CS3 on a Mac OSX Leopard (of course I’ve got a tablet, otherwise I wouldn’t be asking you about this).

I don’t know, Catu. I would guess that Illustrator just isn’t recognizing your tablet for some reason. I could imagine that happening for older tablets, or tablets from obscure brands other than Wacom. If that’s not the case, I would try restarting Illustrator, restarting the computer, or reinstalling the tablet driver to see if that changes anything.

I’m using a Wacom Bamboo Fun, which is a rather up-to-date model, and the glitch keeps showing up whenever I get Illustrator or my computer started, so I suppose I’ll reinstall my tablet. Thanks a lot!
