Description
This is the advanced tutorial, which picks up where the basic tutorial left off.Basic Manga Colouring Tutorial can be found here: [link]
So this tutorial covers several things. Which brushes I use, which colour mode my colour palette is set to, the importance of LIGHT DIRECTION, how to apply textures and basically reveals what a messy painter I am. XD Hopefully some people should be it interesting, though it's very hard to cover all the details so I hope I haven't missed anything deathly important out.
I would like to stress that this tutorial simply explains how I do things. This is just my personal style, and it's not the best style, nor the most complicated and it's not even remotely perfect. I really do encourage people to take some things away from this tutorial and experiment, because everyone has their own unique preferences and I'd like to see people discovering their own style that they're most comfortable with.
I hope some people find this useful in some way.
PS. It's a big file! O_O
PSS. This is also done on a different computer from the first tutorial, so don't mind the change in screen size. XD

Hi Amaretti,
To begin I want to thank you for this awesome tutorial!!
Secondly I want to ask you a question on this:
When I use the Airbrush Pen opacity Flow i don't get the same result as you, it's too smouth (like here : [link] , do you understand me? (I know my english is so bad...)
Also, my colors are more shiny than yours and when I use exactly the same color as you, the shading part is too dark like here [link] :'( ... How can I do?
Finally, I wanted to ask you how do you get this wall texture like here [link] in red ?
Thank you so much if you read and reply to this message, I really don't get it here ><

i think it might be too dark because you need to set the transparancy of the color a bit lower. Doing this actually gives it a lighter color. :]

Thank you for the reply ^-^
Since i've send this message here, i've done exactly what you said. In deed, i've started to found my "tips" for colouring 
Then, have a nice day
