Description Tutorial will work in Photoshop 7.0 and up, as for earlier versions, I haven't use them so I got no clue.

beware of huge file size. And, keep in mind, I am no pro, not everything I do is perfect, so is this tutorial. It just shows you how I colour, that's all. You should know some basic functions of PS already before looking at this tutorial.

LOL, a tutorial after 2 years of the first request (forgot who it was from >.< ) and it's becoming a habit... I am starting to forget uploading stuff to DA and keeping everything to myself D:

Here is a tutorial I wrote back in January (I know...late). If you have any further questions, post them in the comment and I'll try my best to answer them. (note it's also coming close to my exam week so it might take me a while sometimes).

This tutorial is generalized to save space and size. If you want a even more specific tutorial on specific parts, I will consider it in the future.

I like the eye-tutorial at the end. Reminds me of Kingdom Hearts,
a few mangas, and several animes I've seen for some reason...

oh god, at first glance i thought you were teaching the shinydesu technique, but upon further reading i'm so glad you are pointing that out. Not only are you teaching what to do, you're reminding everyone what not to do, which makes this tut great.

madcomputerscientist In reply to ??? [2009-03-29 18:35:19 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, I actually think that I like the over dodge/burned pic better than the final result...
Nice tutorial though!

Cindiq In reply to madcomputerscientist [2009-03-29 21:31:30 +0000 UTC]

XDDD Well, I guess some people do like shiny hair colouring. It's just my personal preference that I don't fancy it, that's all haha.

lol This is a fantastic tutorial. Not only is it very useful but it's also very entertaining and well put together. All the font/color changing of the text kept my attention even through the 'boring' parts.

Congrats on the DD!

nice tutorial! it's very helpful...although i'm not really hooked to digital art and does not have a tablet and adobe cs4, I might as well try it! it's also applicable to adobe cs3 ayt? :3 well congratulations on the DD XD

Cindiq In reply to cheachan15 [2009-03-29 21:28:12 +0000 UTC]

It works with basically any version of photoshop, I think, because the brushes I used are very basic photoshop brushes ^^.
As for mouse colouring, it works, but I don't know how well it would work. Have fun colouring ^^
