Description Lots of people have been asking me to do this for a long while, soooo here it is, people. *cracks knuckles* Making that took a long while, geez! *eyes the huge file*

Anyhow. Yeah. This is for photoshop mostly but you can use it anywhere? I haven't bothered to mention how I color in the eyes because, well, there's already a tutorial in my gallery that explains that! :3

What nice coloring methods. O:

My shades always look...not too pretty. I like the shades here because it enhances the picture and makes is shiner. xD what type of grey do you use? And do you lower the opacity down when you're done? :3

This is outdated - I should do a new one, to share with others what I've picked up.

But anyhow! I use a random grey - no specific one. I later often have to lock the layer and color the shades a different color in different place. Like... grey does not look good over yellow s I often use brownish colors for shading yellow, etc.

Daffupanda In reply to Lacium [2010-06-07 15:00:58 +0000 UTC]

Lots and lots of erasing x.x I hate long lines because I need to erase a lot

really? i thought you simply made them in one quick stroke i love your style, could you maybe do quick steps on how you erase? you dont have to, but it would be very nice of you if you did *shrugs*

MadiFluff [2009-10-08 23:30:40 +0000 UTC]

I've been trying to try this way of coloring but on the part with the magic wand thing, when I click outside the lineart it fills the inside of the lineart with dotty lines too. Do you know of anyway to fix this?

You ink with the brush tool? Wow, you must have a very steady hand!

I never thought of doing everything in grey first. I'll have to try out this method!

Ugh. This ([link] ) is what it turned out like X__X
I honestly dont think anyone could mimic something so complicated and beauiful

If i can, im going to use a few things i learned from you and a few things from someone who posted a Disney coloring tutorial. It takes so long to get something good. If i may ask, how long have you been doing this?

Daffupanda In reply to SpiritOfLeTigress [2008-09-20 12:12:27 +0000 UTC]

I think that's pretty damned nice! All you need to do is color in the lineart and boom you're done!

You're free to use it however you want (the knowledge I mean). Coloring in this stylee? Well slowly been learning over the past year or past year and a half.

NekoAiTorankusu [2008-09-19 19:21:03 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha - it's like a dream come true. :B
How-to-makes always take such a long time.. not so much including the time taken to ink and all that.. they're just.. weird like that.

It's so cool to see how other artists make this shizzle... and holy crap! I would have never expected anyone to really color like this! I've only ever seen it done once, but it was fully colored gray-scale, then added color (it was a realistic picture if that means anything..)
