Description
Now with 200% more Fantasia!Yeah. This is sort of less a cell-shading tutorial and more a walkthrough a picture in which I used cell-shading. |D Sorry?
I hope it's helpful either way.
This tutorial was made using PhotoShop CS. The first one.

What font did you use for the instructions? D: Also this helped a lot, thanks~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You know, I'm not certain. I made this on our computer back home, and I know it's a font I specifically added to the font library. Probably from dafont.com or some place like that.
I think it has numbers in the name... but couldn't tell you for certain.

Yessir - you're seeing the preview for pressure sensitivity on shape dynamics.

where did you get that brush?
and oh my god this tutorial helped so much!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You mean the calligraphy brushes? If you have, I think version 7 or higher (maybe lower than that) of Photoshop, you can "append" the calligraphy brushes by going to the brushes menu and... uh... doing something. Can't quite remember. xD;
But yeah. All of the brushes I used came with Photoshop in brush packs that you can append to the brushes list.

I know now! It's because you're using a tablet!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
...That... that makes a difference? o.o I don't think it does. I'm pretty certain that on the school computers where nobody had ever used a tablet before it was still possible to append brush packs.
If you're talking about something completely different, I apologize. |D

Hmmm
I'm talking about the curved line (brush)
It looks like a regular line but with a tip at the end
like (ithink it's called) pen pressure
Sorry that Im so bad at explaining things
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, yes, that's pressure sensitivity available to tablet users. You achieve a sort of similar effect by turning on "Shape dynamics" in your brushes palette and messing with the step and stuff, but if you're a mouse user looking for tapered lines I'd just taper the ends myself later with an eraser tool, or else try to learn how to use the pen tool.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes 
And I know how to use the pen tool so I'm good for now

Alrighty then. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hmm, I shade fairly intuitively, but a good way to know where shadows go is to study anatomy.
By a "certain part", do you mean like how I selected just the hair later on? You can do that by holding down the "Control" button on your keyboard and clicking on the layer that you colored the hair on, or what have you. Control + click will select everything in the layer. ^_^
If you have other questions or if I misunderstood these ones, feel free to ask. (:

Thanks okay!

Oh, I just draw. xD The "sectioning off" where I make little bubbles to fill in - that's just me drawing. I suppose if you want REALLY CRISP shading you could use a lasso tool. If you hold down alt, I think you can switch between freeform lasso and the polygonal one. That's pretty good for making selections.

Do u use the blur tool to make the shadows blend? When i do that the shadows look dull -.-
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Um, not usually. I generally just draw. If I want to do soft shading, either I'll use a soft brush or I'll set my brush to "other dynamics" which changes the opacity as I draw, so I can layer up the shading for a smooth gradient of a sort?
If I have to do some blurring, I almost always use the smudge tool instead of the blur tool.

JUPE!!! AMAZING!!!
The one thing I learned reading this tutorial was that Fantasia has two left hands. *starts being shot at* AGH!!! I'm kidding, I'm kidding! I learned so much more than that!!! *hides*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
...Oh snaps. I used my wrong hand as reference.
I NEVER MAKE THAT MISTAKE. EVER.
...NO WONDER THAT HAND GAVE ME SO MUCH TROUBLE.
>_______>
...And now I can't just go fix it
because there's an entire tutorial I'd have to fix
DARN YOU HOSHI. YOU PULLED ME FROM MY BLISSFUL IGNORANCE.

Sorry. I just HAD to bring that up. I hadn't actually noticed until you posted the tutorial up and all that either. Sorry for being too slow, Jupe.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
..Well. Thank you, I guess. If I ever have a boring day with nothing to do, I'll go through and fix it. >3>;;

I did something similar to my friend Lauren, too! D= I pointed out a detail she missed and so she was like, "I can't believe I forgot that!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. Sometimes you just forget something really obvious because you're too busy thinking about other details. >3>;;

8D This is the most helpful cell-shading tutorial EVER. I have Photoshop Elements, but it looks like the two programs work similarly enough. Glorious tutorial!
