Description
As promised to those who have been asking about my soft cel shading process, here it is.I tried to keep it simple and basic, I'm sorry if it's too lengthy or complicated still~
This tutorial is for tablet users and uses Photoshop CS6. I don't know if it's compatible with other software such as PaintTool SAI, GIMP and the like. ^^'
Finished piece Β
I hope it helps you, don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!

Hehe, it's really a very simple technique!
It's just a manner of patience with all the layers and clipping masks and stuff I use for each color's lighting/shading that can get a little hectic at times.

Awww, you flatter.
I think you can use this method on SAI too if your PS doesn't work, as SAI also has Clipping Masks and filters. ^3^

Oooh thank you for this Rift!!! I shall get to studying! XD
I use Sai though, but I think the same principles and concepts can easily be applied!

Ahh hehe, it was a pleasure to make this Escada, I hope it's easy to follow! <33
I think as long as you have the SAI equivalent of Clipping Masks, you'll be fine.

Yup in Sai you can clip a layer to another so you are only working within that area, should work slick! ^^

Awesome! (I haven't tried out SAI at all ehe, I'm too accustomed to PS - @ )

I tried PS for coloring a few times and got really frustrated so I have stuck to Sai and love it! I do use PS for post processing after I have colored though for filters and color balancing etc.

Ahh, I see!
I've actually heard the same from many other SAI users, they tend to find PS over-complicated in comparison to SAI~
I started out with PS though, so when I tried out SAI for the first time, it was very confusing for me too haha. I actually want to learn to use it because people say it's great for making lineart, but I'm already too accustomed to PS's layout and tools. Whatever works for each artist, I suppose!

Yeah, I think there is a comfort zone that happens when you work with a program from a while and then when you switch to another it can be a challenge! ^^
