Anyone here knows how to clean and color a drawing?

I don't know any better than you but I want you to know that we're in this thread together, bud.

You mean like scanning it and opening it into photoshop? Redrawing all the lines and the colour it?

Like this?

The real simple way?

Use brightness/contrast tools on a black/white pencil drawing until you cannot see anything but lines (and maybe a few stray dots. You can use magic wand tools to select the outline(s), invert the selection, and then clear to get a pure outline that can be colored in.

Another way to do it is to use a series of curves to follow the pencil outline, and then merging these curves into a raster layer. This has the advantage of producing a consistent thickness outline around the shape, though it requires a little more precision.

Coloring in, at that point, can be done with fill tools (I don't recommend) or by making a new layer that blends colors in (darken is a good option.)

Yes, but with less awesome.

Jesus Christ, Bluhman, your signature is bigger than my window.

ed: Fixed one of the ultimate grammar sins that I committed.
Also, flogged myself for doing such things.

I actually thought it was yours Fruck...

[Archem]

Jeez, resize that sig.

I never use sigs that big!
Usually mine are something stupid that Lucas said on IM.

Grandy, you make no sense.
