take soft brush with a low opacity of the same color as the shadow and sweep over the lines to make it look less sharp and more blended from light to dark

what program are you using?
If some sort of photoshop where there are layers you want to have the Line-art layer on the VERY top of all the layers listed, and then the coloring layers all have to be underneath that top layer so that the colors stay behind the lines instead of over them and all around

This is lovely, but the thing is, I'm really struggling to learn Photoshop cause most tutorials just show you pictures and expect you to know how to get from stage to stage - I can't figure out the steps between. Do I need a certain opacity? Certain brushes? It's stuff like that. I just don't know what to do.

most artist tend to just show the tutorial on how they do their style to show the process, but leave it up for the person looking at the tutorial to figure it out for themselves otherwise there would a lot of the same techniques out there and art would lose its originality if it was shown EXACTLY how the artist does it.
I made mine straight forward
Very long I know, but I hope it helps you a little more

Fair enough then, I just wanted you to know cause I often get frustrated by ambiguous tutorials as a new Photoshop user and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

haha I dont blame you Im in the same boat for some relistic tutorials haha Its all pretty much figuring out your own style so your not completely copying the style of the other artist thats all

Great! But one thing...How do you get your lineart so....smooth? There are no tutorials on that, and I'm always stuck using the shaky brush tool.

One question...how do you make your outline look so neat and clean? When I try going over mine, it looks shaky and messy. How do you get your lines so smooth-looking?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha for one thing, I have a tablet, so its easier to draw curves if you have a steady hand in general. but believe me it isnt easy for me either haha I usually have the pressure on so that I can taper lines off into a point, OR put alot of pressure to make the line fatter x.x still takes alot of time to do, just need patience is all

I have one question
What is CELL SHADING?????
I keep hearing this in tutorials but I can't figure it out, unless it's not from Photoshop.......
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha Well, in step 5 thats the example of it ^^ lol its just flat shading that makes the picture look more 3D-ish and shows where lighting hits
hope that helps
