Description
Whew! FINALLY. I've been busy, but mostly. . .I can just be a lazy arse sometimes. This being the case. I've been telling people I'll make a digital coloring tut for well about a year now. XD Well. . . it's here! Yay!I didn't go into every finite detail of my painting technique simply because that would have been tedium just to read, let alone follow (not to mention the time it would have taken to put it together). What I've included in this tuturial are a number of simple steps and a few tips that will get you well on the way to coloring your sketches and lineart digitally in photoshop. Many of these techniques will apply similarly in programs like OC and Painter.
While some of this might be old news to the more veteran of digital painters, I really hope this can be helpful to those who are just starting out or are struggling with painting on the computer. Give it a try, and have fun!
Much

elements 8 does not have a channels function i have to spend 12$ to get it... on some backwater website x.x that I dont trust putting my card information on ~ =\ meh... i have SAI but... it doesnt have this function D: just the fact i can erase over a layer :>

you can make your layer transparent in SAI easier: open the lineart file and go to layer(alt+L)>luminance to transparency(O)Β
it should work

Ah, much love for this! I'm starting to get the hang of digital coloring, but accents (i.e. blush) and shading still evade me. This will certainly help!

Thank you very much for this! It helped a lot!. But, wouldn't it be better by using "select range" on the sketch lines and then "Edit>Fill>Black" to turn them black instead of the "Alpha channel" process? just a question. Thank you very much : )

This was so RIDICULOUSLY useful! Thank you SO much! -^ __^- i've been drawing digitally for years, and yet, have never used this technique for lineart! It's so great! I've seen other tutorials about this sort of thing before, but they were never simple enough to follow that i bothered to try~ but i just went along step-by-step with your tutorial and SLAMACOW! worked out perfect! Thanks so much! <3 i can't wait to use it!

Wonderful tutorial! Do you just shade with the one color in your paintings?

I have a problem where after I have my masked area for colouring, I can't seem to paint on the colours any lighter. they seem to only get darker and darker, and the white wont show up at all. it seems I can only go onto another layer to add lighter colour. but then that would defeat the purpose of masking the sketch in the first place...help?
thnx

I wanted to thank you very much for this tutorial, the line art tip alone is such a blessing. I use nothing but solid color masks for my layer color so I agreed with a lot of the techniques you use, very efficient and inspired on this newest piece of mine today!

Thank you for the inspiration!

just tought i might add this... go to flamingpearl for photoshop filters and get one call ghost.. its in a bundle of free filters... it automatically takes away the white... instead of making that masking process of yours.. which i find very usefull by the way.

Would you mind telling us what is the URL for that 'flamingpearl' site, please? I couldn't find it with google.
Thanks in advance
