IbisPaint Paint Question for Episode Character Outline Edits

Hi,

I’m just wondering for the people who create outline characters… I have a couple questions:

  1. What brush do you use for the outline of the character?

  2. What size is the brush for outlining?

  3. What do you set the following to:
    • Thickness of Start (please provide percentage)
    • Thickness of End (please provide percentage)
    • Opacity of Edge (please provide percentage)
    • Thickness (please provide percentage)
    • Opacity (please provide percentage)

  4. What brush do you use for shading and contouring?

  5. What do you set the following to:
    • Thickness of Start (please provide percentage)
    • Thickness of End (please provide percentage)
    • Opacity of Edge (please provide percentage)
    • Thickness (please provide percentage)
    • Opacity (please provide percentage)

Do you use light or dark shades for contour? (Please specify)
Do you use light or dark shades for shading? (Please specify)

Any other tips and tricks you can help me understand outlines more would be appreciated!

It depends on the original lines

it varies from time to time for me

I’m still learning but i use dark shades

:smile:

I use dip pen hard. And put on the Stabilizer for sharper cleaner lines!

How do I put stabilizer on?

It’s better to use dip pen hard while drawing outlines!

It depends on the outline but for a better outline increase the size. For eg I take 14.5 to draw the outline!

What do you set the following to:
• Thickness of Start 40%
• Thickness of End 40%
• Opacity of Edge (please provide percentage)
• Thickness (please provide percentage)

I use Air brush normal or trapezoid 20%

ITS at the top. I can send a acreenshot

I found it.

What number do I make the Stabilizer?

Do I turn on Force fade?

If so, what is the length of start?

The length of end?

What shape of fade do I use?

Method: Real time or After?

Drawing tool: Horizontal line, Off or Square?

FYI, this is the size of the outline I’m doing, what size of brush works for this with Dip Pen Hard?
