Description WARNING: File is quite big. D:

Requirements: A workable mouse/tablet, Photoshop 7 (other versions should be okay too, since there's no fancy function used)

I skipped the Hair/Eye tutorial, because I didn't have nice pic/lineart for it yet...So tutorial on cel-shade first, this is more of a walkthrough. Hahahahaha, my explainations are so vague...XDDDD; Anyway, enjoy, and feel free to ask questions. I'll try to answer, if I can. Just because I do this, doesn't make me an expert...>o<

So did you use mouse for this? Also, where can I download that program? I'm still a newb but I'm using Paint Tool SAI. I also use mouse so it's super hard for me. But since you said I could use that tool, Polygonal Lasso, I'm wondering if it would even work for me?

You've to buy it. You could use GIMP instead. It's similar to Photoshop (functions & all), yet it's a freeware!

i know its gonna sound stupid but....what is cell shading?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

serpentstones In reply to saintvulcan [2009-08-17 14:00:29 +0000 UTC]

It's shading used for anime and manga that uses separate tones instead of blending together like a digital painting

With the hair shading you go outside the lines of the hair and on to the face. Then how do you get the face color to show without the hair shading color?

AznV [2009-02-26 17:02:21 +0000 UTC]

Do you just erase the parts you drew outside the lineart with the eraser? ^^ (My hand is too shaky T_T)
