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<

Noob question but, why do you need that extra colored bg?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So that it is easier to notice any colors outside of the lineart.

One question, that never seems to be answered in these tutorials. In your step #2, there's blotches of color everywhere, how did you get rid of all the white covering up his face? Just select/invert/delete?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup, manually erase with the Eraser tool, or use the Polygonal tool. :3

awesome tutorial

*w* <33 I'd sure like to try doing this one day, since I've found a good tutorial for it!

FINALLY >_<
((btw syu, you might want to use the grouping option [ctrl+g]? It prevents the base layer from being erased, and the colours don't go out of the base area either [kinda works like lasso/preserve transparency, so it's easier to draw and clean because of the no extra erasing))
AND HOW ARE YOU NOT AN EXPERT *gonk* ;-; you lie!

*0* OHH?? I never heard of such function before *shot* Next time I must try!!!! Thanks for informing me~! <33333

it's really helpful, but it works only in PS/painter ^^ it'll probably help you much more when you do soft cell~ <3

You can manually erase it with the Erase tool, or use polygonal lasso.
