Description The long awaited, much anticipated, overly demanded and severly overdue COLOURING TUTORIAL is here! *gasp*

What to say? In this tutorial I've described how I do my old colouring in Photoshop, so that you can also use this technique! It's called basic because I consider this my basic (or lazy) colouring style, and I think lazyness deserves sharing X}

So as I always say, please enjoy! I hope it's easy to use, and if anything is confusing please tell me and I'll fix it up okay? Now get drawing youze!

gummybear1995 [2008-02-08 18:55:54 +0000 UTC]

How do you "ink" your character then? I'm a bit confused because it just says ink your character and i don't know how to :S i've been meaning to ask for ages.

It won't download properly for me...
I get to WinRar and it won't let me do anything else.
Any ideas? XD

Sorry I'm not sure ;_; You may have to download WinRar, if Winzip won't let it unzip.

I think you can use a line tool in photo shop or use a ruler.

Question
1.- Do I need a scanner? Or does the image look as cool with a Tablet (Wacom)?

Oh, and BTW, Photofiltre does the same thing, and its free.

oh! so, it's like that yur do yur drawings? kinda lazy and vectorial style? woosh! excellent tuto, Gen. me, i want to know one thing: yu use Wacom tablet, it's that? but for thoses which uses mouse to color, it's a bit long, tiring and not so easy. i say, it's rather for people which uses tablet, or if they've patience, can do with the mouse. i think that yu already have noticed, i use airbrush with mouse. more easy, depends also of the way which yu use it. anyways.
yur tuto is well explained, without comment, it's sure. but he's simple and easy.

Yus! ^_^ Well I use a Wacom now, but I use to use this technique using the mouse. It's tricky but I had okay mouse skills. BUT if you can wait until I put up the advanced tutorial, that one is easy to do with a mouse (serious!) I might make it if anyone really wants it, too.

I hope its the same problem, you got to click "Download to desktop" because it is a zip file, not an image. Give that a go I hope it works!
