Description
As I promised to some of the people here, I'm releasing the first tutorial here.This is the tutorial for how to do soft cell shading on Photoshop, based on my experience.
The version of Photoshop used in the tutorial is 6. If you use later versions, names of tools/modes and/or allocation of shortcut keys might be different.
I'm working on Windows, so if you use Mac please change these notations as: Ctrl to Command, Alt to Option.
I just hope it helps you.

Wow, thanks for taking the time to do this, I really like the style you used here.
I may take a few notes from this to hopefully improve my shading and coloring style.
BTW: I wouldn't advise looking at my gallery right now, as I haven't uploaded much of anything to it so you wont see my current style anyway.

one one the most detailed tutorials ever! great job explaining things! i use sai, but this still really taught me a lot. my only problem really is making the first selections for the base colors. a lot of the times, my lines do not touch each other and it's really annoying to make selections because i end up selecting everything x.x
