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

I'm going to have to try the Alpha channel method... surprisingly enough, I used to so something similar to separate my linework when I used the GIMP, but now that I have CS3, I haven't figured it out.
Great work, thank for sharing!

Love it! This will really help, I didn't quite realize the purpose of the transparency lock and using those warmer gray base colors. This will make things easier for sure

AWESOME ! but but,
excuse me, but for some reason the brushes, no matter how I try, never look like the one you used (step 8, where you began coloring).
do you know a place I can download it or something? I use 7.0.
