Description
Many people have asked me how I color my characters, and now I've decided enough's enough! I've decided to update my coloring tutorial. So here, ladies and gentlemen, is my new and improved DIGITAL COLORING TUTORIAL!!! **Taa-da-daa-da-da-da-DAA!** X3This tutorial will be in three parts. Also for these tutorials, I'll be using 's Becky the Hedgehog for the whole demonstration! Let's give her a round of applause!
This first part deals with making professional-looking lineart and adding in the base colors in PhotoShop 7.0+.
This tutorial is meant to used by mouse users, although I think pen-tablet users are also welcomed.
The file is 900x14400 pixels, and is over 2.7 MBs. This is available in zip file format, since I can't seem to get the file itself to upload - it seems that DA have problems with files with dimensions over 12000 pixels, so that's why it's in a zip file.
Now all you have to is RIGHT-CLICK on the "DOWNLOAD" button and go to "SAVE TARGET AS..." Once you have it saved, RIGHT-CLICK on the zip file and go to "Extract to folder..." You se should find the large jpeg in there.
I hope this tutorial helps you all out with understanding how to draw and color in my style. If you have any questions, just note me, or e-mail me at chrisrgay@yahoo.com .
TUTORIAL PARTS:
- Tutorial Part 1: Lineart & Base Coloring
- Tutorial Part 2: Shadows & Additional Shades
- Tutorial Part 3: Highlights & Finishing Touches
- My Glowing Effects Tutorial

It's cool that you made a Tutorial. I would love to be able to draw like you. However for someone with autisum and learning difficulties like me I found myself getting lost and often found my self confused. You need to make one for dummies.

one small question: the drawing that was used in this... was it made by hand or an the computer?

Do you have a link to the brush or brush pack you used in this tutorial? I can't find it. I used the rest of part one of this to digitally line art, ink, and basic color a sketch, but the brush I used is anti-ailiesed, or aliesed, whichever means that it has different shades around it. Anyway, the lines arent clean. If you could give me a link, it would be MUCH appreciated...

You should do a tutorial on how you draw sonic style characters. I can't do it whatsoever and I really want to but can't find any good tutorials. XD

Hi! This was really helpful for me. Very nicely detailed ^^ But I have a problem which the circle turns out as, um, filled in. How can I change it to just lines?
