Description
I would've had a preview pic here if I knew how on the new submitting page. But because it is a PNG file...it no let me... until I figure it out.
For those that do use this tutorial at all or find it useful, please by all means fave it.After a long...long...long time a waiting (and me putting it off) PART FREAKIN' TWO!!
Please do not steal the pictures of Silver.
WARNING: It's alot more words than part 1.
Again...I advise you read it through first before putting it to use. I tried to make it as easy to understand as possible. So those that are super-advanced in Photoshop CS or higher...don't bug me.
Also...I didn't make that change like I said I would in Part 1. If you don't know what I'm talking about...
that's fine and dandy!If there are pieces of this tutorial you do not understand, please refer to Part 1 of the tutorial.

there is not one tutorial showing how to do this with my program because i use Paint Shop Pro8
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's not as popular of a program to use I'm assuming- I don't have it myself unfortunately so I don't know how the tools would translate.

its the same thing as Photoshop only waaaaaaay less expensive and its not available anymore.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
its brushes and stuff are called different things and the settings are different

hey its me again and i just need to ask one more thing from you if you dont mind
for the brushes how do i make the brush tool fad and than brighten? o3o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's by changing the opacity, it's in the same upper bar on top where you can see your brush size and such.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ohhh ok i see now but in your tutorial how did you make your brush like that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
To my knowledge, for the 7.0 program, you just set the opacity lower than 100%. The lower the number the more transparent the color (in this case the brush).
As you go over that same area, the color will become more solid as it basically builds its way back up to being the solid color it normally would be. The lower the opacity number, the longer it's going to take for the color to become solid once more.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
and thats how you got that brush stroke? just by changing the opacity?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you want a varying stroke- go to your brush window ( Window > Brushes ) and have "Shape Dynamics" checked. From there, you basically put the slider for "Minimum Diameter" for how fine or wide you want the brush.
Otherwise, if you're looking for a specific brush, try looking through the default brushes and seeing what works for you.

btw im useing photoshop 7.0 to do this

There's a chance that you may have your selection reversed some how. If that happens again, try going to Select > Inverse and try coloring inside then.

ok ok... ummm and how do i do that im kinda new to this and your thing is halping me out so much so... how do i do that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
On top where it says File, Edit, and all that- go to:
Select > and select "Inverse" when your selection is active. (When you have marching ants.)

HOLY SH** THANK YOU SO MUCH NOW I CAN GET IT DOEN NOW THANK YOU THANK YOU! *hugs you* >w< SUCH A BIG HELP! you are credit to team! >w< but... when over outline with the pen tool over the the black line on my pic on the outline it colors that too o3o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's because you're most likely coloring either ON the outline layer, or you're on a layer ON TOP of the outline layer. Just make sure you're coloring on a later BELOW the outline layer, and you should be good~

XD Dood I love this so much. Although I don't do SA style, I always liked looking at this tut and SA pictures. Well played and still one of the greatest tuts for SA style ever.

^^ It's age doesn't matter on the content, unless Photoshop is not the best art program anymore and the world stopped spinning. XD However, I don't see that coming in the next future so...XP

This was amazingly helpful! Except I don't have photoshop, but I'm sure it will help me anyway XD Perhaps by means of coaxing me out of using MS paint all the time. Anyway, great guide

I CANNOT DO IT!! I wish I could! I love SA Style but I suck at it!

um I don't have pen tool what else could I use

i used CTRL+G but instead of an arrow, a weird folder icon shows up. What does that mean?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're probably using a newer version of Photoshop (not Elements) and the function "Groups" the layers instead of the mask. They call it something else (I forget what)- but it's under Layers > Clipping Mask (or something like that, and it has some odd shortcut for it that isn't ctrl+G).
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
you're right. it turns out that i have to use Alt+Ctrl+G instead when i use Photoshop CS2.
Say what should i do if there's more than one lighting?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
See which lighting you feel is more dominant and put more emphasis on that said direction of lighting.
