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 >__>

How do you get rid of that color that goes outside the lines? just erase it?

If you didn't select before coloring, then yes, you'll need to delete it later. That's why I always make sure to have a selection. :3

y se me olvidaba el dedo que es excelente para difuminar te recomiendo que si usas la herramienta de sobrexponer y subexponer (lupita y manito) ponlas en un % bajo asi no se deformaran los colores

I never worked with version 5.0, but it should have most of the settings.

This is SOOO Helpful!! If I only had a tablet...*sob* But I plan on getting one! And once I do, I will definately use these techniques! I'm gonna down;oad it just so I can hae it for then. This also gave me much better idea on what to put in what layers. Thanks sooo much!!

gabzillaz In reply to Anime-mels22 [2009-08-23 04:33:49 +0000 UTC]

I do all this with a mouse. It just takes some practice. :3

Glad I could help!

the coloring part?! Ooo yeeaa, I guess you could do it with a mouse. Not the drawing part though. You'd have to upload a pic. But still! Now all I need is a drawing software!!

gabzillaz In reply to Anime-mels22 [2009-08-23 05:13:32 +0000 UTC]

I scan the pic and then I do the lineart with a mouse. I use the Pen Tool to be able to control the line. I will upload a tutorial explaining how to do it :3

This is so far the the most helpful tutorial I have found. Thanks so much! I have a Wacom since X-mas and I still can't use it because I get so frustrated! I'm sure this is still too advanced for me (sad), but at least I know more now! If you know any really really basic tutorials, feel free to pass them my way! Thanks again!!!

I get frustrated with the tablet too. I'm so used to work with a mouse that now it's difficult to get used to the tablet XD

No problem!

Hm. You could have explained some things better, but I'm assuming this tutorial is for people a little better at Photoshop than me. :S
Good job!
