Aww, well, I'm very glad :3 And no, I don't mind at all if you use my drawings as a reference, so long as you say in the description that you were copying a picture of mine (which maybe you should add in). Copying is good practice

Dunno, mine turned out too blurry.
You know when you use the circle fuzzy brush and just start coloring and it usually end up looking cheap? that's kinda what mine turned out.
I'm staying away from the blurr tool for a while now.

I don't use the blur tool much at all. I just use the air brush to get the main shapes and colours, and then a fine brush to do details.

Cool, now i can add this to my reference collection ^^ I'm pretty much a noob in drawing and colouring animals, so this is really going to help me.
That's a really well done wolf

the smooth effect the fur has after each step... does it just turn out like that or is there something i have to do after airbrushing...
im probably confusing myself and you but.. im an amature and have never done anything like this before... 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it just turns out like that because you airbrush it on slowly and gradually, rather than in big blobs (the big blobs are just there to show where I airbrushed).

great tutorial ^^ did you use the smudge tool at all ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No. I generally don't like to rely on it, so I won't use it very often.

really great tutorial..!!!
and the whole wolf is on only one layer?
if yes, dont you destroy the furstructure you did in the steps before with smudging?
and excuse if i overread something
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you.
Yes, the whole wolf is on only one layer, but sometimes, I will put different parts on different layers, depending on the circumstances.
No, you don't destroy any structure previously - you build on top of it.

The location of the brush pressure settings depends on the program, and not every graphics program will have it. In PS, brush pressure is up at the top. It says Brush: (shows brush) and then Mode: (Normal/Multiply/Etc.) and then Opacity: (percentage) and then Flow: (percentage). This last one, Flow, is your air brush pressure.
How to blend things in? You don't have to blend things in afterwards - you blend as you paint, because it's an air brush. What I was showing in the sequence of six boxes was WHERE/HOW to paint. The three big bottom boxes show you the WHERE/HOW, but NOT how it actually looks. I airbrushed in those areas with my air brush pressure set low, and it "automatically" blends as you paint. My picture never actually looks like those big bottom pictures - I was just trying to show where I painted and with what colours.
Also, I'm expecting I don't have to walk you through EXACTLY how to paint. Typing "You press down with your pen/click the mouse, and then drag it to create a line, and use strokes to fill in an area with colour" is really, really, really tedious, and I'm hoping people don't need that kind of baby-step walking-through. If you do, you'll need to look for tutorials aimed at beginners, or consider taking an art class, where you can receive individual instruction on how to do those things.

I loved it! but I have one question... how do you get the colors to "blend" when coloring/shading the wolf? (I mean before details)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!
Sorry, the step-by-step pictures with the "blocks" of colour are misleading. DON'T actually paint the blocks like I have. What the blocks are showing is where you paint, and in what shapes. If you use an airbrush (a hard or soft (soft works better)-edged brush set to very low pressure/flow), paint in a manner illustrated by those blocks, it should "blend" by itself. Because the colour comes out so gradually, it's very easy to control, and it has a tendency to blend itself.
Does that clear things up a little?
