Description How to draw roan, my way

I had several people asking me how I make roan on horses, so I decided to make a tutorial for y'all!
This tutorial will explain how I make blue roan in Adobe Photoshop CS3.
I'm sure it's filled with grammar faults, but I was too lazy to fix that all, I'm sure you all understand what I mean

This is so helpful! I don't often do lineart, but I needed to do a roan manipulation and this SAVED MY LIFE. Now I can get that art order doneΒ Β

Hi! Although I couldn't get past the part were you add the noise and then smudge it (because it didn't work properly for me) this really helped! Thank you so much!!!!

How do you get the white to go behind just the lines? I can't get it to do that on GIMP....Β

In this part of the tutorial I explain how to make a Clipping mask to do this.

I don't know how GIMP works, but if it can't make clipping masks layers, I'm afraid I can't help you :U
