Description So it's been...um... a year since A Digital Coloring Tutorial 1 [link] came, and I have finally resolved to finish the thing this summer! Hence, I present to you Part 2: Clothing and Lace. This was done entirely in Photoshop, with a wacom tablet to help. I decided to change the tutorial format from text doc (what the last tutorial was in) to image, since I find that it's easier to read and follow along. Click to read--although be warned--the whole file is about 1 MB.

This tutorial references things I've talked about in Part 1 so read that first if you haven't.

8/10/05 Edit: Part three now available (how to color hair): [link]

I hope this helps some of you!

I like this, I'm going to try this sometime, try something new. okay sorry for bugging but... do you use the smudge tool?, oh and can a graphire tablet be used intead of an intuous and get similar results?

lady-lark In reply to dreama-draws [2007-10-25 02:44:23 +0000 UTC]

the only differences between a graphire and intuos is really the # of additional buttons and the size of the pressure grid squares underneath, the "levels of pickup", the intuos has twice as many levels, so the grid is twice as small. in short the quality of the pickup of the pen(affecting smoothness of lines). you can go onto the wacom site and look it up. . . .oh, and price, that is the major difference, too. . . .

Sorry to bother you with this question, but it says in your tutorial that anything above Photoshop 5 is similiar to what you are using. I'm using Photoshop 4, do you happen to know any tutorials that would work for that program?

I was looking around Deviantart, and I saw this tutorial. I looked at the main picture, and it seemed familiar. Yup! I remember seeing it on Gaia before... great job (with the tutorial and the piccy XD )

emotragedyscene [2006-07-19 04:08:14 +0000 UTC]

This is kind of a random question, but did you get Windows to look like that? Do you have a custom theme installed?
