Profile Oekaki Tutorial

Postby King of Crows » Fri Mar 15, 2013 8:27 am

So I know a lot of oekaki artists have been getting asked how the heck they manage to make the canvas "vertical" or "profile". I decided it would be best for all of us if I just made a tutorial :)

Now just in case you haven't done this yet, you'll need to go here and set your Oekaki version to ChibiPaint v2.0 for the canvas to save like this!

Step 1: The Rotate Tool
The rotate tool is what you'll be using for this! It's pretty simply. It's that funny looking thing next to the paint bucket in the tool box:

So, select the rotate tool! Now, this is where it gets very easy!

Step 2: Rotate It!
Now you'll want to grab the upper left corner of your canvas, and, using the rotate tool, pull it to the RIGHT (clock wise).

Pretty easy, right? Now for the final bit to get your canvas vertical!

Step 3: Time to Draw!
You'll want to pull it until it's completely vertical and the edges of the canvas are all COMPLETELY straight and flat! Once that is done you are all ready to start drawing on your vertical canvas!

Make sure you save it in that orientation!

Hope this tutorial could help you guys out :)

I tried this, but for some reason, it wouldn't save vertical.
No longer active. Sorry. :\

*face palm* Okay, sorry love, it seems I forgot to mention that you first will have to go here and set your Oekaki version to ChibiPaint v2.0 :)

Then it should work properly, if it doesn't than let me know exactly what you're doing.
