Description Part 1: [link] (base colouring mane, tail, feathering + colouring & shading eyes)
Part 2: [link] (shading body)
Part 3: This one (shading mane, tail, feathering)

-----~~~~-----

And the final part! Yay! I'm so happy to be done!

Again longer than the previous one Covering shading of 'hair' (in this case; mane, tail and feathering)

I hope it will be helpful to at least some people (and that it makes sense...)

You should try changing the opacity of the lineart.
It should give it a more realistic look

I love it by the way ^^

I do that by now Opacity of the lineart in my current images is at about 15/25%... and in some images not there
In the tutorial it's at about 50% opacity (see part 1: [link] )

Thanks!

Uhm, op twee layers doe je de schaduw en de highlights maken door heel veel lijnen te zetten in haarrichting. In t begin leg ik uit welke brush ik gebruik Na de lijnen, gebruik in een bredere 'fuzzy' brush om basisschaduw aan te brengen, en dan weer lijnen alleen lichte kleur voor de highlights. Als laatste gebruik ik de 'dogde' tool voor shine aan te brengen...

Ik denk nie dat ik t beter uit kan leggen dan dit.

I wish my hand was steady enough to try your way to do draw and shade manes/hair, it looks very nice. Good advice with the highlights though, I tend to overdo it, lol. I like the way you use the dodge tool for that however, I will definitely try that! Very shiny ^_^

I tried it and I like the way it looks, but I still have to be careful not to overdo it

This tutorial is awesome <3
You should totally do one on how you make the white markings, and how to color lineart in photoshop. I'm so new to it, that I have no idea how to do this properly. [:

Thank you! I'm glad you like it

About the white markings (or any markings with clear edges) I use the pen tool to make the shape of them, then make a selection of that shape and colour it in

Lineart I don't actually colour.... I just make them 'see-through' by putting opacity on 50 or 25%

Awesome, I really love the way that you do your manes and tails! It has such a nice, flowy look to it. I'm definitely going to try it next time I've been looking for a good mane and tail tutorial for ages, but none of them have really matched my style.

My one crit has to do with grammar, a few times you say area's, it's supposed to be areas. 's only needs to be used when saying 'area is'...Yeah, very small thing that doesn't even matter
