How to remove color outside the border?


Recommended Posts

Hey!

Can I get some help with how I can remove color outside the border, or how I can make this idea look good in another way?

I tried erase brush tool but it very hard to make it good and takes a lot of time. There has to be an easier way for this.

 

Thanks in advance!

The erase tool is the most straight forward, I think you just need to learn a few tricks, like clicking once, positioning the cursor a bit further along and then hold shift down and click, this erases in straight lines instead of trying to erase moving the mouse constantly.

Use this trick zoomed in so you get better control over where you place the cursor. You don't initially need a big brush just enough to create a gap and then you can erase the remainder more easily.  Set the brush hardness to around 95%

You can also use the selection tools but I can't easily make a selection because your screenshot has grid lines which will traverse the black edges, making it difficult to make a simple video to demonstrate.

… honestly the current, unclipped brush strokes appears to me more appealing (natural, creative, interesting) than a cleaned, clipped version (perfect, boring, artificial). But I feel rather disturbed by the symbol on the right page not being curved with the page / being in the page's perspective.
