Pen and Ink Tag

While browsing through my tubes, I came across some
black and white tubes and some sepia tones.

They reminded me of pen and ink drawings.

I have done some pen and ink drawings
myself and painted them with watercolor.

So, I decided to try to capture that same effect here.

What you will need:
Paint Shop Pro
Greg's Factory Outlet 2
A black and white or sepia tone tube
Here is the one I am using.

If this tube belongs to you, please let me know so that I can give you credit for it.

First let me tell you the basics of what we will do.

Open black and white tube image of your choice.

Shift + D to duplicate. Close the original.

Add a new layer to your duplicate image.

With the paint brush tool, color in one area of your tube.



Change the size of the paintbrush to a size you are comfortable working with.

You may want to use a small size to outline the area,
then change to a larger size to fill in with.

Also, you can use your eraser tool if needed.

I know, it looks ugly right now but do the next step>

When finished lower the opacity of that layer
till you get a look that you like.



Now, its lookin better, right?

Add a new layer. You may name your layers as you go if desired,
according to what part you are painting next.

Do the same thing on the next layer, choosing a color for clothing, hair etc.

Add a new layer for each new part that you paint.

Lower opacity to your liking.

Ok, that's the basics of what we are doing here.

We start with this:


After coloring we have this:
