Alrighty! So now that I’m back from my sort-of vacation and my hard-drive’s been replaced, I decided to make this tutorial after noticing a friend’s trouble with smooth, clean, single contour lines and figured other people could use it too. For this tutorial in particular, I highly suggest doing it with a tablet in Sai or Photoshop. I have also included a .psd here so you have access to the layers in case you are using Sai or Photoshop. You can still use this without Sai/Photoshop, you’ll just have to use the .png above instead.

If this can help just one person out there (although I’m hoping for many more than that, haha) I’d be super happy. If anyone has other ideas for tutorials, please don’t hesitate to send me an ask, message, or tumblr IM with your ideas!
EDIT: Oh and I’d love to see anyone’s attempts so I know if this is a good tutorial or not, haha
EDIT 2: Oh my god I didn’t know that tumblr fucking shrunk my thing so here’s the full size version of it so you can actually read what it frickin says.
