Description Well, this is not really a tutorial (I don't have what it takes to make a tutorial -__- ). But then I can't name it another title since it's too long. My friends asked me how do I usually draw and color an art. So this is actually my effort to answer the question.

Looks simple huh. Lol. Maybe I am really bad at explaining things. Oh well... But this is how I draw my arts, most of the times. There are still other ways for me to draw/color an art, but this is the simplest way of all others (might post the other ways if there are demands).

NOTES:
*Normally, I place a piece of paper under my right hand to avoid the art from being dirty.
*I use more than a shade of color for shading parts (I mean different shades of a color).
*Rubber has more use than just rubbing off the sketch. If the colors are too dark, I'll use rubber to make them lighter/smoother.

Sorry if it looks blurry. I did try to edit the brightness and contrast though. Anyway, I hope this answers the question asked by my friends. Sorry if this sucks.

<3 Hehehe. Good that it does! ^__^

Oh, I had the same problem years ago. Perhaps you shall try to photocopy the artline and color. Then you won't ruin/spoil it accidentally. <3 And I do that, even till now. XD

Hmm, maybe you shall scan and post it for others to comment about that, my dear. <3 Sometimes it may not be as bad as you think.

It may be difficult at first, but once you grab hold of it, I'm sure everything will just click. good luck nya~ anything you want to ask, please feel free to. Try my best to see if I can help. <3

Wow, I was wondering how you colored like that too~ It's not a very detailed tutorial, I see that, but it is still very nice to see how you color. ^__^ I should try to color like that sometime!

I think it doesn't count as a tutorial (because i am not qualified to make one... XD ) Hehehe~ Lol, it'll take a long time (many told me that before) if you follow my way of coloring.

Lol. I take awhile to color even without like that. @_@ I still love your coloring.

It might take awhile for me to actually post up something with coloring like that. @_@ It's so godly I don't think I can color like that~ And no problem~
