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!

Your tutorials are always the most helpful . I love them. I always keep them in mind when I doodle, since I never have enough focus to stay for more than two hours at the computer drawing (plus, honestly, I don't like what I come up with... *sigh*). But you always inspire me . So maybe I'll finally try something this summer!

joulee In reply to renchan [2005-08-02 02:22:35 +0000 UTC]

I understand what you mean about the two hours thing. ^_^ I find it hard to concentrate on a picture for more than one or two sessions in front of the computer now.... Drawing should be fun, so don't stress about doing more than you want. ^__^ I hope, if you take the time to, you have fun with these tutorials!

renchan In reply to joulee [2005-08-03 19:05:24 +0000 UTC]

rubikscubefreak [2005-07-27 02:33:59 +0000 UTC]

It's very good. The only thing I'd say is missing is that, in the "zoomed in" version, you don't have a final, full version--with the head and everything. Other than that, I'm tres impressed.

KristenPlescow In reply to joulee [2005-07-26 23:37:25 +0000 UTC]

Aww... I don't blame you, though. Sometimes detailing can get tedius and irritating. ^_^
Anyways, you're especially good at it... so I don't think you need to worry about that. XD
