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
, Kelli.**Edit** Why won't DA let us have preview images anymore? It's so tacky! I had this great preview all ready and everything. . .

Thank you *so* much for posting this - especially the tips when it comes to seperating the line art from the background, and creating an area to color in without having to worry about going outside the lines. This is sure to come in handy! Thank you once again!!

Wow, that really is a cool way of painting.
I love that you've described as way that is "quick" and yet still effective. I should try it out, it would probably take a few hours off my my paintings.
I never would have thought about that on the textures. I always thought that they were applied just as a new layer set on overlay or something. D:

Yeah I miss the preview images.
Anyway this is so useful! I never realized how people were getting their lines colored in. I always thought it seemed like it would be a lot more work than it was worth it to just leave the black lines. Thanks so much for this! favorites!
