Description
Basic tutorial, for beginners, and I apologize, it was VERY rushed.Okay so I realized I didn't re-upload my Lion Coloring Tutorial when I came back. So I decided to revamp it a little. And make it a little easier. For those who are either, Technology, age, or English challenged.
I included all the little baby steps inbetween, hopefully it's as easy to follow as I think it is. And hopefully there aren't any confusions. This is how I color. You may have a totally different way, that's fine. I'm just sharing how, over the 8 years of digital art I've been doing and learning different short cuts and what not, the system I'm comfortable with.
You can use it for things other than lions, it's just best suited for TLK style coloring and shading. It's meant for all types of Photo shop, and can be adapted for things like gimp, and other programs with some tweaking.
Enjoy, and pick it apart and use what you want from it ^^ I hope if helps.
And if it does send me a link! 8]
And feel free to ask me any questions you may have. (If there are any typos I apologize, dyslexia is a hell of a disease!
For more tutorials, go to my gallery, I have ones on Lineart and shading tips, anatomy, and Backgrounds!

Very nice tutorial! I think this'll come in handy. :3
Question (sorry if this is somewhere in the tutorial; I looked it up and down, but never found the answer): I saw that when inking, you made the picture larger. When did you make it smaller again?

Well once you've finished the picture, you can resize it to the size you want. I didn't put it in the tutorial cause I figured it was easy enough to figure out.

Nice! made it to the front page too! I like how you include the bit about contracting one pixel. I've seen tutorials that skip that step and I had to go and figure it out on my own! Not that that's bad, but.... tutorials should tell me everything I need to know!

Oh man this will be helpful. Good thing this should work for all Photoshop programs! I have been neglecting a drawing that needs to get done. I have also been neglecting on how to work in Photoshop since I got my tablet. Well I better get working!

Your previous tutorial seriously taught me how to work Photoshop. By seeing all of the things you did I expirimenting with more options, and learned my way around the program. I don't have the same version as you, but te basics included are pretty much the same. You taught me how to create smooth lines, how to color quickly and easily, and how to shade easily, yet still make it all look nice. I seriously don't know where I would be without that help. I thank you so much for that. And this version is just as great.
Again, thank you so much for all the help you've given me, even though it was indirect.

I'm glad to hear I could help. I spent 8 years slowly picking up things here and there (I still am) so figured I'd make it easier for people by showing them what I know.
And hopefully there's a new tip or two on this tutorial that maybe you didn't learn from the first one 8]
