I don't know why the link won't stop putting an emoticon in.

Ever wondered how it is I do my pictures?

Well here is a little accelerated video file of my cell shaded style in the form of a sticker or conbadge, the character is the fursona of my lovely girlfriend ~Bairn

The whole picture took about 34 minutes, so your watching it at about 3-4 times the speed (varies).

Method:
This method uses the polygonal lasso in Photoshop to draw the ink and colors. Select the area you wish to ink\color and press ctr-backspace (ctr for foreground color, alt for background) to fill. Some gradient fills were made as well.

I use the polygonal lasso tool because the freeform lasso can be messy and the click-click-click method of the polygon selection meant you can precicly control the thickness and sharpness of your lines very quickly.

In the end I combined my layers in such a way as to remove any effects outside the ink. By clicking the magic wand tool (contiguous and antialiasing turned on) outside the ink layer, selecting the merger color & shading layers and pressing delete any stray paint effects that may cause troubles later are removed, you get left with a lovely contained ink&color.

Other tools were the gaussian blur filter to soften the large shadows and highlights. And the fill-transparent fill tool, which uses your foreground color & transparent instead of 2 colors, allowing more professional cell shaded highlights on hair etc.

You may notice that I layed down a light grey for the shadow fills, and a dark grey for the highlights. For the shadows I turn my layer to 'multiply' which takes out all the white and leaves the black, but can be tricky so don't use too dark a color. Vice versa for the highlights with the layer set to 'screen'.

Any other questions just message me
