Can somebody tell me how to get another outline around the original lineart like I see in most oekaki pictures?
In return, poorly drawn Yoko.

heres a better example of what I'm talking about.
I know you can do it in PaintBBS, but what about Shi painter?

With great patience, i assume. Mask black and off you go. Or use layer below and off you go.

That is if i understood you right.

Thanks, I'll try it next time.
I never knew if there was some sort of trick to it or not. The lines look very accurate.

1. draw your thing
2. set "soft/blur" tool to 5 opacity and rectangle
3. select entire canvas
4. reverse mask white
5. pencil in background

Hey, I'm a different person than the OP btw, but I'm completely unaware of how to use the masking tool properly. I just can't seem to figure out how it works. Every time I think I've got it, it doesn't work that way the next.

Could you explain the reverse masking part in more detail i.e. what the hell do I click on and then what it's supposed to do?

normal: does nothing
mask: allows you to color everything except the masked color
reverse mask: colors only the re-masked color

to change the masked color, select the color you want and right click into the mask tool.

But then, if there's not already a white outline on your image, how does...it work?
;_; I am so confused. I know I'm being really dense...

Whoa, holy shit I think I just figured it out.

But, then what the hell do you do if you don't want a neato outline? Holy crap.
I need to mess around with this a lot more, lol.

no it's cool haha. the soft tool is what creates the white outline. basically it blurs the black lineart a little bit so that when you reverse-mask the true white, it leaves an outline.

if you don't want an outline then just don't blur it lol.
>> Graph !e9CNOfXxA2
Yeah, I don't know how to do a precise outline here: I just do it manually on a layer beneath.

OP here, it works great for me, thanks for explaining this!

I thought there had to be some sort of trick to it.

her chopsticks are kind of flaccid op :O
(also thanks for the tip, also you can just use fill for adding in your background)

You can also put the image on the top layer, then copy it onto the bottom layer. Hide the top layer and blur the lower one- that way your original picture won't be blurry.
Well, that's how I would do it in PaintBBS. Hope it works!

how about some good yoko please

another question,
can you make another outline around the second outline? and is there anyway to draw a background without interfering with those outlines?I've tried it on different layers but it doesn't work.

multi-color outline:
1. draw your thing
2. reverse mask white
3. blur @ 5/solid rectangle
4. fill bg with another color (orange here)
5. reverse mask orange
6. repeat 3-4

coloring bg
1. before you draw, select layer 1 (or 2)
2. draw, blur
3. re-mask white, but instead of coloring it, erase it
4. draw bg on layer 0

animation is on for a reason, i made a pink outline rather than white so you could see me erase it. hope it helps lol.

obviously there are many ways to go about doing this so i tried to pick one that was easy to follow (though i suck at explaining so sorry in advance)

I feel like a fucking retard, I just can't get it to work. Do I select the canvas with the rectangle tool, and when you say "reverse mask white" do you mean that I should pick the colour white and then reverse mask? I'm very new to oekaki so I hardly know anything about the program.

Don't worry, I'm still pretty new too, I was one of the people inquiring before and being a moron.
>Do I select the canvas with the rectangle tool, and when you say "reverse mask white" do you mean that I should pick the colour white and then reverse mask?
Yes on both, as far as I know. That's how it worked for me.

And thank you to everyone for the advice and tips!

I draw and color the picture on layer 1 or 2, blur, reverse mask white, erase, and color on layer 0? it isn't working for me.

It all has to be on the same layer. Or at least the line art and background.
The soft blurs the lineart meaning that all around it is slightly off-white, so when you remask white, it doesn't include the lines around the lineart.
