Some of you wanted to see a tutorial of my process of coloring so here you have few first steps of my work. After those, there is only a lot of color probing and painting so nothing interesting to see or easy to build a tutorial on. 
 So I hope it will help somehow even a small bunch of you guys ♥

I've been looking EVERYWHERE for the original artist of this!
Today I found you, so I'm faving this at the source and checking out your other tuts (I seem to collect those...)
Anyway thanks for posting!
...Now I just need to find somebody who knows how to convert SAI tuts over to Autodesk Sketchbook Pro (Mobile App) and I'll be all set!
If you're wondering, I found the image months ago but I couldn't find one big enough to read the type, even searching in Google Images, so I finally caved and followed it to Pinterest, which took me to Tumblr, which brought me back to dA ^^'

LadyShallandra In reply to GoldenTar [2017-04-16 20:22:48 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it certainly was!
One reason it took months was because I don't like going through Pinterest for images, it forces you to make a profile just to view the stuff! D: not good.
But I kept getting sent to Pinterest that finally I just caved and made an account. Anyway it had a happy ending, I found a bunch of awesome art!

Merci pour ce document très précieux.

szefowo, ale ten reflected light to jest na trybie warstwy normal czy screen czy luminosity czy overlay czy jak? :'D

GoldenTar In reply to myks0 [2016-03-16 14:28:52 +0000 UTC]

Wiesz co, to w sumie zależy od koloru jaki wybierzesz, czasem lepiej pasuje jak jest screen czasem jak overlay , musisz to wyczuć. ogólnie to kolor odbijanego światła powinien wyjść jaśniejszy od cienia ^^
