Digital Bluelines
I rely on nonphoto blue for a lot of things. When I'm drawing traditionally, I use it to make my initial sketches so my pencils are cleaner. When I'm working digitally, I convert my pencils to bluelines, print those out, and ink over that. But how do I go about converting my pencils to bluelines? The process is fairly simple.
First you need a black and white image, or an image converted to grayscale. To do this, you go to Image-Mode-Grayscale. After the image is in grayscale, you go to 'duotone'. If you have never done this before, it will ask you to create a new one. The settings you want for non photo blue are:
C(yan) 21-25%
M(agenta)-0%
Y(ellow)-3%
(blac)K-0%
This will convert your entire image to bluelines. Now you're just ready to print!
