Description My tools:
Photoshop CS4
Wacom Tablet
Mouse

As far as I know this technique works for Gimp and Sai as well, but as I don't own these programs... well, I don't give guarantee on that.
What I can guarantee is that it works without a tablet as well, though it will make your life 10x easier (I use this technique with a mouse often too, so YES it does work.)

I'm open for questions concerning this tutorial but if you want to know more about how the different functions here work, please go and search for another tutorial here on DA!! There are tons of them.
And if you have advice of how I can make my tutorials better or more informative, feel free to tell me~



The promised coloring-tutorial Sorry it took so long to do...

Oh well, hope it helps you out.

Thanks for the tutorial!! I've been using Photoshop for a little while now, but never figured out how to do the shading part more efficient, clipping masks seems to be the solution, haha! Thanks bunches

chairitsu [2012-03-01 21:24:19 +0000 UTC]

I've been having the worst time in the whole world trying to learn cell shading. Simply looking at pictures and reading things to get them don't work very well with me; I usually need to see it done in real time and have it explained.
You've taught me a lot! I feel a lot less frustrated with learning this. You've taught me something wonderful! The usage of clipping-masks will forever change my life! Thank you so much for this! I look forward to your future work!

I'm going to try and make a picture using your tutorial, but I have a concern. Is there any extra step I should take for Olive-toned skin to make it look just as good? This is for a pic I was requested to do, so I hope you answer soon.

Despite being on the old side, it's one of the best I've found on this site when searching for GIMP tutorials.
