_{surrendertolove asked}:_{Lulu, I made you a tutorial thing about Livestream…. Experiment on your own time is a good idea too. The bottom of it is about the audio stuff, may be helpful. The whole thing may be totally unhelpful too though, as I use a mac and you use windows. *i’msolamefeelfreetoignoreme*

_{yawonderland asked: Hi may I ask how you do the lineart. Do you line it again with another color? @_@
How do you do it? XD}

_{Lineart, i use the Crayon tool (since its softer) and just do it by freehand}

_{To get coloured lineart.}

1) “opacity lock” the layer, and go over with colours

2) lower the opacity of the lineart layer, and it “appears” coloured (<- lazy ass way =D)

I really want it…do you know if it’s still on sale? ; A; I clicked the link you gave + the image but it was sent to a log in page, so I was a bit confused, haha;; And if it’s not on sale, how much did you pay for it? (I found a seller for the artbook…$30…and it’s highly likely that they bumped up the price a lot, sob)}

_{Oh its Sold Out of Toranoana now ^^;;}

_{I bought it for £13 from Toranoana, but adding Deputy service’s commission, and shipping and such, it added up to about £25 or so.}
