I've been looking for something like this. You've simplified it enough to seem do-able for a newbie like me. Thanks so much!

Since I self taught myself with observation, I do MANY things entirely different. I use the dodge, burn and blur tools a lot for shading. Oh I haven't found out how to have multiple layers in one specific layer. Or maybe my version doesn't have the option? I have Adobe 2.0 But your tips give me some inspiration, I'll have to tinker around some more

Haha, my techniques are self-taught too. ^___^
I've been using photoshop allll by myself for about three years now.
You'll eventually find that dodge and burn tools don't deliver results as good as making a color pallete and shading manually.
Adobe 2.0 may not be able to make layer sets. O.O I've never worked with that version before. I'm only familiar with 5.0 - CS. O.<

hm, yeah, 2.0's insufficient D< And i do agree color palletes are better but burning has been fun

Your tutorial is great help, but I stuck in background erasing... You didn't stated clear how to do this T_T Or I'm just that dumb

Ooh, I see what you mean. xD Sorry.
Just erase it with the eraser, or paint it in white.

Okay, thank you. I guess I missed something in Photoshop 7, but I guess I can't make such a brush like you made... T_T Is this option available only in PS CS?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, you can configure a brush like that in PS 7! That's the first photoshop I ever used, so I know what I'm talking about.
If I remember correctly, you can open the brush palette by pressing a button-type-thing near the upper right corner of photoshop.
I found a screen cap and circled it for you~. ( [link] )
And it's smooth sailing from there.

Erasing the background? You mean, getting rid of all of the white around your lineart sketch?
Look at step C in the scanning portion of my tutorial.

I've never thought of using colour wheels before. I'm gonna come back and favourite this as soon as I have 112 devs. (I'm funny about the number of favourites not being more than the number of devs... like it is right now.

Thanks!
o.o.... that's a good idea actually. I think I'll pick up on that habit, too! (I've got 15 devs and 14 fav's so far~.)

Nice tutorial! I like the use of the color wheels - that's something I hadn't tried before, and it does look incredibly useful! Thank you!

It's interesting to see how you colour, especially since you do it so well!!! And such a pretty tutorial it is!
Heh, I colour my pictures SO differently to this, still, to each their own eh?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
To each their own, indeed!
This is just something I've developed over time~. xD
Thanks fer lookin'!

You're welcome. I definately picked up some handy pointers here, I shall try to add some rosyness to the cheeks of my next colouring victim, should be fun

Only problem is people like me dunno where to put shadows in, what shape to make them etc. guess you pick it up over time, I haven't yet

It's best to use a reference picture sometimes, if you don't know about those things.

That's why my parady pictures are so much better than my made up ones
