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!

That's it, this is going into my favorites. I never had any idea what the channels and masking and all that stuff is for but now I just learned a fast and easy way to separate the linework from the white in sketches instead of performing the long and tedious task of retracing the lines with the inking or pencil tools.
I know you are not the only one who uses that line separation method, but it was really helpful. Thanks a lot!
