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!

Woo, nice tut. I've tried to draw lace a couple of times recently and it sucked. Well, didn't look very lacey at least.

so can I refer back to it easily.

Nice tutorial!
Cloned patterns are much less bother to add some lace in quite large areas (like on Freya's chest), though, but of course they do not have that 'hand-made' feeling... can be useful though, if you don't want to spend hours filling an area with hand-drawn patterns!
