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!

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

Mayang.com has a great library, and then there are several galleries here that supply stock images for you to use. I'd browse for stock textures.

Gaaah mayang won't load for me; is there some special upgrade for Safari that you'd need to view it?

That's unusual. Try downloading Mozilla Firefox for your browser instead.

the only and biggest problem I have with this is that my alpha layer turns out just blank white....what do you think I'm doing wrong?

Etoli In reply to songbrezze [2008-01-24 00:28:38 +0000 UTC]
You need to be sure that you've copied the original linework once you've selected it and made the new alpha layer. Pasting it to the alpha should reveal the copied linework if you've made the correct settings to the alpha layer in the little step before pasting.

This is all very complicated and new....I guess I'll have to work at it.
Traditional mediums are so much easier.

Awesome as always. I prefer a blend of masks and selections circles myself. I like earthbending. Just thought I would mention that.
