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 >__>

This is really usefull thanks!

Quick question though if you dont have Photoshop CS is there still a pen tool and do you really need it?

gabzillaz In reply to AnnaMay15 [2009-08-23 19:04:18 +0000 UTC]

No problem!

I believe most versions have it. I use it, though I'm sure there are other tools you can use to color or to draw.

AnnaMay15 In reply to gabzillaz [2009-08-24 01:08:09 +0000 UTC]

Thanks again!

I think I dont know if my version has it though..so I may use a slightly diffent method then...

I really suggest you to use masks (vector or bitmap, you can choose), because you can edit your mistakes anytime, not just when your history is saved, and it gives much more comfort.

Well uhm I know this sounds stupid but...what does gradient mean? ^^'

gabzillaz In reply to Hinari13 [2009-08-23 18:39:58 +0000 UTC]

Is not stupid ^___^

The gradient is a tool you have in the Bucket Tool menu. When you have two colors the default setting gives you this effect [link]

Hope that helps!

Oh I don't think Paint Tool Sai has the gradient tool :c But that is a cool effect!

nothing against you, you are a good artist, but this method sure is way too much time taking O.o

gabzillaz In reply to Kibate [2009-08-23 18:23:02 +0000 UTC]

XD No problem!

At first it took a long time to get something done. Now I'm so used to it I do it faster than with a tablet.

To be honest the only thing that takes time is selecting the area o__o

sabia mΓ‘s o menos como colorear en photoshop con esa manera, es decir usando la pluma y la herramienta de selecciΓ³n, pero desgraciadamente eso no funciona conmigo suelo desesperarme usando la pluma xDDDD

bueno de todas maneras gracias x el tutorial tratare de usar esa manera se ve un poco mΓ‘s cΓ³moda ^^
