Description
Sorry for the super-bigness, but I wanted to make sure it covered most questions people ask me. XDIt's a replacement for that older tutorial that I deleted a while ago because of its outdated fail levels.
Here's the lineart if you with to follow along:

XDD I was just looking for this XDD And after FINALLY figuring out a lineart technique I been trying to crack for almost five years, I got a couple of things to ask XDD;;
1. Do you do all your flats colors on one layer?
2. About how many layers do your CGs usually take you?
The other thing is that I was wondering if you did do all your colors on seperate layer if you knew you could lock the transparency of your layers, making it a HELL of alot easier to color lineart and even seperate layers without having to distrput much else XDD Especially with your blush teqnique XDD Think of not even having to worry about messing with any of the features besides her face!
XDD I use photoshop 7.0, but I believe this was the same in CS3 that used in college last year... been awhile since I used CS3

Haha yes I know about transparency lock. Personally I like to keep very few layers, since my comp tends to start lagging near the end of some of my pics as is. Plus it doesn't matter much with the CG style I usually use. My layers generally consist of (from bottom to top) flats(including lineart), eyes, shades, blush, highlights

XDD I see... that makes sense ^; I guess I'm used to lags

*Sigh* >: I really want too try this style, but whenever I set it to bitmap it comes out black and white, I can't make new layers and... half the time I can't even draw. X__X!;
Otherwise, this tutorial is very helpful. <3 Thankfully I know how the Pen tool works! XD

the idea is for it to come out black and white. I forgot to mention that afterwards you should set it back to RGB color

Aaaah~ Okay! XDD
Thank you~! ^__^
It still won't let me make new layers, though. o_O (Or draw... XD) It's probably just my computer or something... >>

This tutorial is great! I will try to make a work like this, with photoshop and not with paint shop pro, because photoshop is better.

The pen tool? Holy sweet Jesus Juice!
All this time, I've been doing all my shading by eyeballing it and using different colors.
This should help me tons.
Thank you much!

Anti-alias unchecked?
But that makes stuff all pixely

maybe at full resolution, but once you resize it, it'll look like... well, how all my things look.

Does this work for Pain Shop Pro 8?

k. Then happy Paint Shop time for me later. ^_^ *optimistic*
But wait... I have SATs to worry about next Saturday... *goes away, sad and miserable*

oh poo I read that wrong. unfortunately, paint shop doesn't have something like the path tool to make selections with, so you'd have to use the straight-lines lasso tool to make the selections :/
