Thank you guys for being so awesome
and thank you so much for 400+ watchers!! 
Hopefully this tutorial is of some use to you. Also, I know I didn't type it in anywhere, but this is the method that I use for basically everything except for backgrounds. Just try experimenting with different colours and lighting for different objects and textures, and have fun!

Hello~~ Awesome tutorial! But I have a problem . . . I can't find Mr. APOF anywhere on Photoshop. I have PS CS5, so maybe that's the problem. Any chance you could tell me where to find it?

Ahhh yeah unfortunately the default brushes in the newer versions of photoshop are different (I really, really hate the new brushes... I deleted them all haha) >_<
HOWEVER! You can download the old default brushes, including the APOF right here: www.mediafire.com/download/zsn…

ASFJKLSJDF THANK YOU SO MUCH~ I didn't know that there was an airbrush pen opacity flow brush in Photoshop's other regular sets, so I went looking for it; it's exactly what I've been needing, and this has helped me out a ton! Thanks!!!

I'm trying to draw my new art guided by this tutorial (thank you!). But how do you blend out shadows? What options do you use? Can you help me please?

What do you mean what options?
The brush that I use is shown in the tutorial, and I just use the default settings for it

Sorry, maybe, I explained it wrong ^^'
On the step after basic shadows you are writing "...using Mr. APOF, blend out your shading" and then you show picture with same first shadow, but much more smoother ^^ And you are making it for all shadows' layers...
I just got confused how to do it... with brush APOF, but with different mode or color or smth else..?
I hope I make sense

Really good tutorial! ^^
But I have problem with Airbrush Pen Opacity Flow :/ Mine doesn't draw as yours on this picture. It looks exactly as Hard Round Brush. And brushes that I've downloaded and named APOF look also as Hard Round one...

You're using a tablet right? (with the pen pressure options turned on)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm... I have to check on that one.
So, if I'm drawing with mouse the effect will be as regular brush, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah unfortunately mice can't use pressure sensitivity D:
What you can try though, is lower the opacity on brushes and try painting that way (such as described in [link] ).

I have tablet)) But I never thought it denends on pressure) Thank you so much for help! And tutorial with pumpkin is helpful too! Thanks)

Thanx a lot for this. A lot of people seem to forget how difficult it was when they first began colouring and seem to leave out the important details for us beginners. This tutorial, along with your cel shading one, is excellent.

You draw/color/shade incredibly beautiful lips, without them being *too* beautiful. If that makes sense. XD
