Do you seriously expect me to say anything here after that freakishly long tutorial?? I hope not, but....

allright, allright. Done for my friends, who wanted to learn how to use Photoshop but didn't want to go on Deviantart to search for the various awesome tutorials which totally put mine to shame. But hey. I think I tried to include too much stuff in one tutorial, though... hope you guys actually understand it. If anyone even reads it, that is.

Time taken: 2 days
Character in picture used: Kinomoto Saori (c) aria-arissa
Program: Adobe Photoshop CS

Well, that's about it.

Ja~

... I mentioned before that I love you? Did you hear me?

... We SO need another sleepover. And You and Straifu, need to at least LEND me and Reika some Photoshop skills. My CS8.0 is being left dusty and to waste. *sobs*

Remind me before our next sleepover, that I am NOT going to ask Straifu for the PS2 ever. And the XBOX shall be out of bounds.

I want to play with Tablet-kun.
And you have to teach me EVERYTHING YOU KNOW. You damn honour student.

took me an age, it was torturous. but I like how it turned out, especially the new style of watercolour shading I experimented with on the skin...

YOU ARE MY HERO!!!

Seriously, the other, "Basic" photoshop tutorials were too advanced for me! This is prefect!

You introduced things in a logical manner, and, more importantly told us were to find them!! (Most tutorials I've read were like, "Use the pen tool and select the area you want to color." And I was like, "Huh? Huh?? What's a ' Pen tool,' where is it? and how do I select things with it?") XDD

You totally made this easy for me to understand. Although I don't even have photoshop, This still explains the things in my program pretty good! THANK YOU!!

Very nicely done! Explained it all nicely, at least as I saw it. I think even someone with little Photoshop experience should have no trouble with it.
Two whole days? That's a lot of work... also part of the reason I've never made a tutorial, I started one a year or so ago though. I don't have the same level of persistence as you on stuff like that.

aria-arissa In reply to Jio-Derako [2008-01-29 13:52:20 +0000 UTC]

haha... sat through quite a bit of scolding too, for spending so much time on the comp... but hey, things don't get done by themselves. I suppose my friends were the motivating factor. I like to feel proud, like I've done something for them. ^^

and thanks a lot!

You didn't do a step on cleaning...the sketch can still see all the pencil excess dots. Plus...pink shading looks weird...
