Description Damn, this is big.

Super big.
It took longer to upload it than to do it.

I'm doing this one first because more people requested it. But I will do a lineart tutorial too.

Hope it helps!

Elisa belongs to me. Please don't use without permission.

*edit*

1) I made a mistake. The option is not "Combine Visible", it's "Merge visible".
2) The program I'm using is Photoshop CS3.
3) For those who asked, I did this with a mouse. I know it looks difficult at first but with practice coloring one character with this technique can take less than 15 minutes.

Para la gente que pregunto, si me queda tiempo, lo hago en espaΓ±ol.

Sorry for the edit >__>

Much like I try to do my colors! Except that I don't have the artistic talent, nor the time to practice to achieve that level of skill

This is an amazing amount of help, thank you!

I like your Spanish PhotoShop! I used to have it in Spanish before I began to notice that I didn't understand some of the words (I took PhotoShop lessons in English) and that I had to change the language. T.T

But this is really amazing and detailed. I'll definitely use it!

SpikeTheFistMan In reply to ??? [2009-08-23 14:03:38 +0000 UTC]

Mehh, pen tool for shading? I think its easier with shape dianmics-brush (and practice). Sure, the results are sharp/clean/smooth, but editing all the anchor points until we get the shape we want just takes foreva IMO = A=

Whatever, your style is still awesome, great tutorial 9/10
