Description
For my new watchers. Many are still asking about screen shots >u< please take a look at this first! Thank you!!*Many people asked for an anime screen shot tutorial so I wanted to share this again ^^
It's finally done! As you can tell, I had to add some of my humor in there otherwise this was just a boring ' step one, blah blah blah ' guide.
I need some rest now, if you have specific questions, please ask them in the comments and I'll try to answer them to the best of my abilities.
Please download OR simply FULL VIEW the guide so you can see everything in detail!
Here's the final outcome:

how can you get the specific fitting anime cell shading color pallet for the fake screenshot? I can never see to get the right shading colors for fake anime screenshots and qll

I'd recommend making a palette using the eye dropper tool to get the effect. I actually use ton of overlays and effects to get it to look the color I'd like in the end

JADE just a question, how do we add the two bars to make it look like an actual screenshot? xD

I make a new layer then use the rectangle tool (it's dotted) and make a rectangle on top and fill it in with black. I do the same for the bottom

Most photoshop versions will have that blur effect which is the main reason I use it.
It is stated in the very first box that I use CS6.

Ah, missed that, wasn't as obvious as it was in the middle with a dull tone. I would use the Luminous Mode for the highlights though, as it looks more 'sparkly' and more neat XD

Ah people do things differently! I don't use overlay or luminous for highlights for screen shots

I love your tutorial, but for me it's for tablet pros only, sadly. Well, I hope you can create more tutorials in the future!

Shouldn't be for tablet pros, it should be for intermediate users

I know. It's just that for me, it's not for mouse-using users. Well, I hope you can have more tutorials coming up soon!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah I see what you mean. Yeah, I can't work with a mouse. I don't have that much patience, hehe.
I love making tutorials so perhaps!

Neat! I've been wondering about how people do this for a while now.
But most of all - HOW DID YOU GET THAT CROSS CURSOR??? Or is that screenie from Photoshop? Because if it's from SAI... no matter what I try I've never been able to find a way to get a cursor that isn't either the default arrow or a 1-pixel dot.

It's from the crop tool and I screen shot it by accident
