Tips for Clean-Up & Presentation of Sketches

- It's far too common to see people share drawings online that have not been level-adjusted or made presentable in any way. Hopefully we can all fix that by sharing some common beginner and advanced methods for presenting your traditional drawings.
Be sure to stop by my instagram, where I post many traditional drawings: / sinixdesign
Feel free to check out my patreon at: / sinix

Sinix got tired of seeing crap on Instagram
And I think Im guilty of this... T_T
Yeah I'm definitely guilty of that 🙄 pnscribbles.deviantart.com
Planning on using Instagram soon so I'd better take his advice soon!
lol
I always wondered how everyone had such clean sketches while mine always looked like they were taken by a potato. You rock dude!
Sinix, I used to use a similar method for background removal, but then found something that works a lot better. It's stupid simple: take a photo of your drawing, then turn the page over and take a photo of a blank page. The two will have the exact same lighting, so what you can do is blur the blank page to remove paper texture, invert it, and add it to your drawing. This will make the background evenly white without losing any details.
Yeah, I actually remember a traditional painter who did a similar approach to capture his traditional paintings. Taking a photo of his painting on the wall, then taking a picture of the same spot without the painting and using inversion. It might have been slightly different, I don't remember exactly. Photographing paintings makes everything harder.
Snix , could you pls share your brush u use in lining
TRẢ LỜI
as someone who mainly sketches traditionally but isn't good at editing... this helps a lot! thanks
You know what Sinix, I'm gunna soak all of my sketches in water, rip them apart and take pictures of them under candle light.
Just for you :D
you're a monster ;-;
Seriously thankful. I'm not sure people realize what a gift this video is, 9 and a half minutes long of straight up gold, saving a lot of time for a newbie like myself googling, running into dead-ends, and generally wasting time trouble shooting image adjustments. This video is also incredible for someone who wants to upload their traditional portfolio but doesn't have a white backdrop with white lighting to color correct. Thanks again Sinix, this was great.
*looks at my own art instagram after watching* oH NO
But really helpful video!! It's easy to settle with the best quality pic you can get on your phone (esp. if your tired or don't have easy access to editing software) but it's nice to put in the extra steps to present your work in the best way possible.
I feel you, sister.
Ashley Jane can u look at my insta and see if it’s crap?
I can't tell how much I am impressed by this video. Incredible job sir.
Sinix! You're blowing my mind. Thank you for this :)

Thanks, Sinix. This was really helpful! Thanks for the great tip!
I caught myself saying ''damn that is so cool''. I never thought of doing this before. This is awesome Sinix, I just thought about some awesome things to make!
Your voice is so deep that it vibrates my soul
Omg, thank you so much for this video, seriously you made my day!! I can finally do great compositions and use my sketches for instagram without look like shiii
Very nice touch with the marker, will definitely use that. Or something like that.
You don't know how freaking grateful I am right now.

This is really helpful, thank you!
WOW. Learnt a lot from your video. Thanks!

Really useful tricks. Wish I saw this sooner
I love that sinix is uploading more, but I miss his streams. they were pretty great, but I can understand if he wants to stop.
Two Sinix videos in 1 week?!
Is this a miracle?
Amen!!
amazing! thanks sir, for share our knowledge!
Thank you, I know how to draw but you just taught me how to get my drawings to look as good online
I love this Sinix! Can we revisit this with tips for the digital age of presenting digital work to clients/social media/video content etc?
I never tought about this. Thx
thanks for this video really helped alot I don't have a scanner and I love doodling in my sketch book and copying stuff from photo to digital
hey! I don't know if you read all comments but I practiced the faces in different angles with your video and what I really can't get right is the neck! It would be a huuuuge help if you could do an episode on neck. also thank you for all you share with us, it is so useful!
this video saved my life
Thank you sinix
hey Sinix! could you please do a video about drawing from imagination? and any excercises you might suggest to help with that! I love your videos thank you so much!
👏👏👏really impressive.
These tips are amazing (:

i only have ms paint on windows 98
ugh omg this is great. i always hated how my trad things looked on instagram
I hope I can thumbs up 100 time, this is pure honey gold
Thank you for the valuable information! I'm bookmarking this for sure. Now I just need to figure out how to translate that into Affinity Photo speak since I can't afford Photoshop!
Magical!
Thank you for the tips.
thx man ^3 super nice video ^3
you're living in 2017 while i'm just realizing i'm in 2000
Thank you so much!
Oh my god. Thank you for this video. Now I can get critique on my art that isn't "I can't see your picture/10"
awesome vid
Is this real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality.
Open your eyes,
Look up to the skies and seeeeeee
Wadwizard ZOL Im just a poor boy, i need no sympathy
wow great video
💕💕❤❤❤💕💕
i just wanted to say that if you're too lazy to go on your computer or if you don't have photoshop, you should try the app Polarr!! it has the gradient option and great lighting features, it's obviously not as good as photoshop, but yeah
You can select your sketch by selection>color range and take the shadows. You get selection only on the your black lines. Sorry for bad english..
alt click for clipping mask NO WAY!! haha I love learning shortcuts like this even after using photoshop for so long
amazing
ILY THANKS
Thank you!!
just a tips if you want to put traditionally looking letters in your sketches
i have a hand written signature that i use as watermark and just set it to darken or multiply
Great video. The photoshop glitching at 1:45 was a tiny bit distracting though.
Sorry about that, I think the video speed messed up and caused that.
Incrivel!
Sir , could you pls share your brush u use in lining
Excuse #1: I can't afford photoshop.
You can do most of these things on any art program.
As for things like layer mask, if you really wanted to use that method, I'm sure GIMP has that
Nice excuse but you can always pirate one. I mean it is definitely ok to pirate if youre a learner and do not make money out of it, I guess on the ethical part you are good to go.
Pirating is not the best solution but it is the only soloution if you want to improve learn some programs and find a job, in which you WILL buy the program :)
Any free more pro than MS Paint programs has layers, layer modes and gradients, and curves and everything you need (I think 'quick mask' can be absent for example in Krita, but in Krita there are "selection masks" and it works the same, I think. Here is a tutorial: krita.org/en/item/how-to-select-areas-with-the-paintbrush-in-krita-2-9/ You can use gradient instead of brush; it is just another layer, but in greyscale). Gimp,and Krita has curves, even FireAlpaca has primitive ones. So, you have no excuses, sorry.
Mitro Pan
Did you just say Pirating is okay?
I'm not scolding you or anything. It was just hilarious to me if taken out of context.
Who actually buys photoshop?
I had a different purpose for my own methods which was to use real media for the line art of digital piece. Those methods could take hours, kinda ridiculous. I did find out however that brighter paper backed with other sheets of paper would improve the initial contrast quality of the scanned images.
Thanks, can we have vid. For cleaning up in digital drawing?
I love the video, but why is all of it flickering, say, between 1:35 and 2:55? Problems with your Photoshop or with the program you use to record?
I feel called out and personally attacked.
I'm suing for emotional damage and trauma. You'll be hearing from my lawyer within 3 weeks.
God, someone just sketched all of my excuses away.
hey sinix!
What pen do you use for your sketching?
Can I do this on procreate? Does it have the tools necessary?
I think in this case, maybe a non-destructive leveling would be better.
1er like j'aime beaucoup tes vidéos
bandwidthzero pourquoi?
Can you use this method in color too??
im so lazy that im contemplating on buying a 1k HD 1080p HQ can digital camera
dude, its a sketch. just take a photo and upload it to instagram
is there a way to do this on Procreate?
Make your stuff presentable! *proceeds to use a crappy smartphone for video*
or just scan it, makes the background white
you just got a sub
A lot of people sharing photos of their sketchbooks don't have photoshop or other digital editing software...
Still almost everybody has a smartphone, so everybody can take pictures. Also everybody has some kind of lamp, which should be already enough to make sketches more presentable
You can get Photoshop Express for free on your phone. With that, you can manually adjust exposure, saturation, contrast, cropping, darks, lights, etc. You can't erase stuff, or do the gradient mask technique, but if you play around with the tools, you can get something fairly pleasing. Especially for sketches.
Finished illustrations, however, should always look very presentable no matter what platform.
Snapseed is free
Gimp and Krita are free. They are everything you need. For quick mask in Krita (there's nothing called like that, but it's still a mask, I think): krita.org/en/item/how-to-select-areas-with-the-paintbrush-in-krita-2-9/ You can use gradient instead of brush, of course.
Krita is amazing and free! It is what I use.
Which software
The fact that he has 666k subscribers😮
can i do this on android?
So many tangents ;)
Woahh he sounds like Jeremy Schaeferr
I see
Papa bless
Any tips for mobile, guys? Can't afford a computer yet. And I don't want crappy Instagram art. Or else Sinix'll screm at me for poopoo posts.
Personally I like it raw
Dont have photoshop
The art version of girls putting hella filters on their pics.
Low key wanna fight him now.
I came here to learn but first thing popping up in my mind when he goes to open his sketchbook ...."is that a wedding ring, aww he must be already married :-( " Haha.
Don't blame me ^^
4:00 am i the only one seeing a face?
what if you are a poor ass student who can't afford photoshop?
Anna Leopardi Try Clip Studio Paint (Manga Studio). It's an excellent program that's cheaper than PS and has tons of great features.
Also Gimp and Krita has eveything you need to do as he said. For painting I don't recommend Gimp, though, only Krita, but Gimp is a little better to edit a photo.
thanks, I got krita a few days ago but I have no idea how it works actually
Yeah, it could look a little complex for first use. But you can get used to it after a while. What brings you the most trouble?
(Tip: don't use all that fancy brushes, just choose all you need (circle and textured, I think) and tag them "Favourite Presets" and in "Brush Presets" change from "All" to tag "Favourite Presets")
Just post ya damn sketches, people just like seeing good art, it doesnt have to look like its freaking digital
Also they are sketches, you shouldnt worry about composition and all this other shit like seriously. It doesnt really matter, like i said, they are damn sketches, draw, take a quick pic, then post you dont even need your computer
christ, calm down, it's just a helpful video :D
nice druggy music playlist btw ;)
Christian Köhn NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN. for real though i just want to see more drawings from sinix and i think he should go for quantity over quality because hes such a good artist.
I kindof agree, but its the artists choice, it does look nice on sinixs instagram, i never realized he cut it all up and organized it.
Honestly im a little dissapointed he didnt actually draw his sketchbook pages so perfectly packed. Also i dont mind pictures of sketchbooks that include evidence of being in a sketchbook. But it this is at least good for when you just cant get a nice photo without a shadow.
Wadwizard ZOL true, true...
