Description for colouring clothes if you wanna learn my crappy style @ V @;;

instructions for each step:

1. lineart; i think this should be self-explanatory

2. base colours; colour in the lines with whatever you want

3. light shade I; take a shade of the original colour and place strokes on the clothing where you think there would be a shade. depends on where the light is for your picture.

4. light shade II; blend the strokes that you placed in step 3. i often use the water brush in SAI for this, but any blending brush works. for my current style, i tend to blend one side of the stroke and leave the other side with a sort of sharp looking edge. you can see the transition more clearly in the extra section at the bottom.

5. dark shade I; similar to light shade I, except you just take a darker shade and place strokes in the darkest areas of the clothing. this would naturally have less strokes than the light shade step

6. dark shade II; do the same thing from light shade II.

and voila, you are finished! i don't normally do it, but you can add highlighting to anywhere you'd want to have it.

extra section

left: shows the blending of the shade strokes

right: explaining how some areas of shading that are closest to the light can be the darkest

i hope this helps q V q;;

I really like the way you do the blending with one side of the stroke and leave the other side with a sort of sharp looking edge. That looks so cool. Oni dis is awesome.
