Due to my lack of knowledge, I scanned the drawings on paper for Heroes of the Seven Islands in pixels, when I could have done everything in vector format. Now I cry when I look at the 1500 drawings that I patiently ruined over two years ๐Ÿฅฒ

paint bucket and "Threshold" to transform to 2 colors (black and white) before adding colors! I will have a look to Clip Studio Paint too. You could also give Affinity a quick try since it's free. The "vector" thing is a game changer for me :D

Not sure it's a good ELI5 but anyway :D The software I use is affinity (free). First I convert my paper drawing to black and white, then I "transform to vectors". And now wy source is not pixel, and I can choose the size at export time (and it exports with antialiasing but source is still vectors)

Vectors save shapes rather than pixels (squares on a grid). So you can do infinite zoom. And you can either export to vector (svg) that will preserve vectors and infinite zoom, or to png/webp that will reduce to pixels, but will do it smoothly and you keep the source on your drawing software.

Also, I try new palettes! And I should buy a scanner (I used my phone, I think I can improve the source). If you have resources about how to colorize drawings (without altering them)

I also took out a two-year Photoshop subscription (โ‚ฌ20/month) when I was only using the paint bucket tool. Good news is I've learned from my mistakes (I use Affinity to color my drawings, and I convert the scans to vector format).
Original drawing (3.5x3.5 cm, ink on paper)

Ce n'est pas indiscret :) En fait c'est un moteur de jeu maison avec du html+js+css. Donc c'est un site web qui s'est dรฉguisรฉ en jeu (comme c'est assez statique, รงa ne posait pas de problรจme). Je ne recommande pas mon approche ร  ton fils, j'ai fait รงa juste parce que je suis dรฉveloppeur web !

C'est un projet solo
Oui, c'est fait sur papier, pris en photo avec mon tรฉlรฉphone et coloriรฉ sur ordi avec le pot de peinture.
ร‡a m'a pris deux ans, ร  l'arrivรฉe il y a deux gros classeurs avec 1000+ dessins, c'est un peu vertigineux. Mais รงa m'a permis d'essayer le dessin, et j'ai adorรฉ ๐Ÿค—
