So far, the foreground art—Deke’s face—is infused with color; the background floral art comprises black lines only. Worse yet, if you zoom in, you can see blank gaps between the two. To make everything seamless, select the layer mask for the floral layer and apply Filter > Other > Maximum, which expands the white area of the mask. Set Preserve to Roundness. Then combine the two line art layers into a group, and clip the dark watercolors to the group. Sounds weird, but it works and looks awesome.
- [Male Speaker] In this movie, I'm going to show you…how to group your lineart and then take a piece…of artwork such as this dark water color right here…and clip it to that group…and here's the reason why.…Notice that we have all these water colors going on…inside the lines that represent my face but all…the lines associated with the flowers are solid black.…We also have a problem with some…of our transitions right here.…I'm zooming in by the way by pressing the control…and spacebar keys, that would command and spacebar…on the Mac and dragging and I really want to see…my artwork at 200% and so notice that we're looking…at all these spiky hairs above the ear right here,…on right hand side of the image…and notice that in addition to the fact that…all those flower lines are black,…we have these very brittle edges.…
Compare that to the final effect in which…all of the lines are blenched uniformly.…Alright so here's how you pull that off.…First of all, just go ahead and zoom back out…by pressing control zero or command zero on the Mac…
