My pleasure! I hope it helps your craft!
thank you I found it hard to find detailed info on this process.
YIKES!!! I'll stick to inking on vellum. lol
Do you have a tutorial about re scanning your inks and isolating them digitally for coloring?
Do u do the pencils digitally or do you scan it in to clip studio? Awesome video.

I’ve done both! For this video the drawing was sketched digitally.
This is will save me time and stress! Thank you! Btw can you use water color paper and does your printer scan drawings? Also where do you get Clip studio paint?

Yes! As long as that watercolor paper is thin enough to go through your printer. And Clip Studio can be downloaded as an app, or here’s a link to their website for your computer: www.clipstudio.net/en/?gclid=CjwKCAiA2rOeBhAsEiwA2Pl7Qw6B0sDQ2kIokz-91Ttf-rSIrmUFuL5iVdS1Kp4qhMNw3SWvnI0TXRoChmIQAvD_BwE

@@helioscopepdx6666 Hey I wanted to ask How often does your Printer break down? And does Canon PIXMA PRO-200 (Wireless Professional Color Photo Printer) make a good comparison?
Great video. I just discovered your channel. What software program is that? I don’t recognize it (I use Adobe CC but would love to get away from the expense of it). That was amazing. Liked and sub’d. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for watching and I’m glad it was useful! I’m using Clip Studio Paint. More affordable than Photoshop and very similar.
I thought the whole point of blue lines was that they don't scan, i.e. it wouldn't be necessary to get rid of them after re-scanning the inked art. Or maybe it is a holdover from pre-digital when....they photographed the inked art? I need to read up on this lol.
What was the name of the printer? Does that specific printer only use the non water soluble ink or is that an option of ink you had to hunt down for it? This is a very cool process, great job

Thanks! I'm so glad you liked the video. The printer I use is an Epson Stylus Photo 1400 and I believe it only takes the certain ink they made for the printer. The ink is pretty non water soluble and I've never had a problem with it while using this technique.

@@helioscopepdx6666 Hey great video do you know of any cheaper options for a printer? Can you use a LaserJet printer? Seems most pigment based inkjet printers (non water soluble ) are quite expensive..Thanks!
Your funny haha
