Description
Artist's CommentsAlrighty well...first of all I'd like to apologize for two things. 1. my sense of humor was dead for this one so dont expect a funny story inside haha >< 2. because this is crap and I know its crap but um....I'm posting it becuase hopefully someone can make use of it.
I want to state right now...I know for a FACT my means of coloring with a mouse is tedius. Most people just freehand it but I have really unsteady hands so I had to rely on this method. For people using a ball mouse this tutorial is especially geared at you. I know they dont move nearly as smoothly as a laser mouse. So have a look. Its a method thats definitely not for everyone but you might learn a few useful things anyway? I hope.
I'll repost the 2nd half of this tutorial very soon. AND YAY! Only one more tut to repost and then I'll be done!

I haven't been able to use this tutorial to its full effect, not having really good lineart to test it on, but this is the only lineart and coloring tutorial I have ever used that actually works. I get on my knees and kiss the hem of your garment in gratitude.

Hey I just wanted to say how helpful this tutorial was to me. In the beginning, I sucked at coloring. As in, whenever i colored anything, it looked like a three year old child had randomly thrown paint at it. Colors were out of the lines, the colors themselves were horrendous...
So. Thank you so much for making this tutorial. That Shift-trick thing. was amazingly helpful! Now at least my coloring is decent >.<
So again, thanks a lot >.

I haven't coloured something with a mouse in so long... but when I did use a mouse I could never do anything like that!

Coloring with a mouse it tedious as hell. i think i did it maybe 3 times then gave up. -.-;;
But the way you show here is much quicker than what i use to do.
I do have to say - laser mouses arent that expensive. i got one for $10 and it works much better than my ball one. >>;;
