In this lesson we're going to learn a digital technique that allows us to soften our lines.
This makes them look less sharp less digital and gives them a very smooth and professional appearance
and it's looks especially nice when you were binged decides to color the piece.
So on the right hand side of Photoshop you we have the lines layer and the line weights lair.
And this is pretty much the workflow you'll approach a line waiting in you'll do your Finlands first
and then you'll think Aline's way you need them.
Now do keep in mind you can do lines softening in most major digital art software.
So it's not limited to photoshop and it's pretty much done the exact same way in every piece of software.
What we're going to do is take these layers duplicate them so that they're going to be merged so that's
controlled to duplicate them and control to merge them or Joe Kamani you're on a Mac.
I'm going to take the visibility away of the originals and we now have our merged layer here and what
I'm going to do is hit control of on J gang duplicate the merge layer and call it soft to indicate that
it will be the layer that is going to be softened.
It's zoom in here for a moment so we can really get the full extent of this effect.
And what we're going to now do on the soft leather wallet selected is go to the faulter menu.
Blair Gordon Blair and we are going to play around with the Blur's Salada which will literally blow
everything on that lap.
So we take the slot it is zero you can see that everything is very crisp and sharp maybe a little bit
to digital looking.
If we take it really far on the slider everything is very poofy maybe two poofy in this instance.
What we want to do is blurbed enough so that the lines seem to be glowing in a good way.
When we're happy with that can hit OK.
And what we want to do is just slightly lower the opacity on the left so that the soughing if it isn't
too harsh.
Let's take a look at a difference between the soft leather and the stented lands without the softening
zoom and a little bit as well.
Now whether you decide to do this or not is completely up to you.
A lot of manga and anime do tend to do this but it's not always used and it's not a general rule.
However it is a pretty cool effect and that is exactly how you do it.
I'll see you in the next demos.
