How do i use a thin and cleaner looking outline, AND be able to color it in more efficiently? I have a 2 pixel brush with a 2 pixel dual brush set to overlay to make it sharper, and while it does look good, i can't fill it in as well as i can a 4 pixel brush with a 4 pixel dual brush overlay

Like, here's an example of the brush i whipped up with a quick doodle using my touch pad


Looks good, but when i go to color it in on a layer below the lineart...


You can see a lot of the coloring spilling outside of the drawing, and the brush isn't opaque enough to hide parts the fill can doesn't fill in

Which means i'd have to fill in where the fill can can't, and that would seem unnecessarily time consuming when there might be a better way of doing this

A similar thing happens with the 4 pixel brush, but it's not apparent nor a problem i have to correct because the brush is too thick and opaque


And here are the bucket settings for the 4 pixel brush


...and the settings for the 2 pixel brush


The tolerance setting for both brushes is one value before fill color takes over the entire canvas to ensure that the fill color fills in the outline without having transparent pixels between the outline and the fill color, and All Layers is enabled because the white background layer helps how the fill can fills in

So i need to change my methods if i want to use a thinner brush, but i'm not sure how i can do this

i think it's the anti-alias setting

What program are you using?

i think it's the anti-alias setting

It's actually somewhat better with AA, but it's as i said, the 2 pixel brush just isn't opaque enough

Here's what the two brushes look like


It's not opaque enough, but i can't seem to get it to be opaque without looking gross or blurry, so i'll try messing with the brush options some more and see what i can come up with

What program are you using?
Photoshop

try using a larger brush like 4px and a much higher resolution

I did that when i drew dr_pepper's character, but i don't draw on large canvases much, and the one i used for that picture is 1600x1200, i usually use 800x600

use the pencil tool and turn off any anti-aliasing on the fill can

Dont use the fill can on a single layer. Fill cans are for plebs. Good coloring comes from painstakingly lining out the color layer below the lineart. You can fill that layer instead, but it may leave slight artifacts at the edge if it isn't a smart fillcan (forget you Photoshop, why cant you be smart).

yea this is what i do on paint.net
you can be a little messy if you wanna if you don't mind erasing the color that escapes the lines afterwards
