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

finally, the most user-friendly tuituorial I've ever met.
Thank you for doing the tutorial in pages, instead of 1 big long tutorial, which is hard for me (or most of us) to see..

Don't worry Dimez; people won't magically turn into an Amaretti just by reading through these tutorials. Part of what makes Amaretti so great is his ability to know which colors fit together and create the right mood, placement of shadows/highlights etc. These are things that can't easily be thought through a tutorial, you've got to find out for yourself.
Anyway, I really appreciate the work you've put into this, Amaretti. I sure picked up some tips that may come in handy.

I'm guessing you must've developed a new style, because if not, I don't think that it's wise that you came out with a tutorial, especially you.

i agree.......soon we shall expect to see alot (more) people coloring in this style. but it is nice to know how he does it

Anyone who can copy this style exactly has already figured it out and done so. I don't really see the harm and letting people have a closer look.

So you're ok in encouraging more imitators? Besides, at least before they had to work for it.

You honestly think I should take it down?

Oh no, I wouldn't want to be the type of a person to tell another artist what to do (and get flamed by their fanbase). I'm just saying, although you consider your style one that's very easy and known already, I think you do a good job of it than compared to others, and if others see how you do it exactly, not only do their imitation of you get better, but you don't stand out to be unique (anymore). An artist's style is what makes them different, and in your case, probably more popular, especially to the Naruto coloring/fanart world. Get me?

Yes, I understand what you mean. But I think it would take a lot of skill and experience in order to take what is shown in this tutorial and apply it in all cases. If you don't have the skill and experience... no matter how in-depth the tutorial is, you'll never quite manage to take the style and make it your own. I know this because I looked at a lot of good tutorials in my early days as an artist, and despite having all the right tools and programs, I couldn't so it quite as well as the original artist.
It's hard to explain, but a lot of my style now depends on my level of skill and experience which is something that cannot be taught in a tutorial. I can show people the technical parts, but what makes a picture good or bad is which colours you choose and how you apply those colours... and this is completely arbitrary from person to person. I can show people how I did it in this picture, but it changes from image to image.
If someone has the skill and experience to truly emulate this style, chances are they already have a preferred style anyway and wouldn't need this tutorial.
At least I hope so. Developing new styles is bothersome.
