Description
Watch the Full Free Video Tutorial HEREIn this quick tip tutorial, Tim Von Rueden goes over coloring over your lineart. This has been requested multiple times and I would like to show you one way of going about coloring over your lineart. This can be very intimidating for some, especially those who feel very confident with their line art but feel when they add color, it ruins the concept altogether. So below is a quick step by step that goes along with the video tutorial.
My BIGGEST advice is to be confident. You may have strong lineart so compliment that with even stronger shading techniques. The more comfortable you become with this process, the more versatile artist you will become! Just remember to keep the lineart separate on it’s own layer so that you can lay the base colors UNDER the lineart layer and then create layers ABOVE the lineart layer for coloring!
Citizen members can download the HD video along with the .PSD file from the tutorial!

*Sigh* You make it seem so EASY! I bought a bamboo splash a year ago and I have a very simple program that I struggle with! Thanks for this wonderful tutorial, it's really helpful to people like me who suck at digital art.

I really struggle in this area, because I don't have a very good program like Photoshop or sketchbook and I don't have a computer so I have to use an iPad. So I try to apply tutorials like these into my work with a compleatly different program and it looks sloppy because I couldn't get the anatomy right or it won't let me colour like this. That's probably the most frustrating part of drawing for me. So little people use the same program as I do, but I watched the tutorial and I think your method is a really good one to follow.

I use to give lineart color instead painting over it on a different layer. I've to give it a try.
