Description THIS TUTORIAL IS FOR PAINT TOOL SAI!
A tablet is recommended, most steps will not work without one.

I was going to try to make this tutorial for coloring everything; hair, eyes, skin, clothes... but skin is just too much work D:

I kinda got myself a little overworked trying to put it together, so near the end I didn't get into much detail as I wish I could have.

Anyways, I hope this tutorial helps out ^^

I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean >///<
But if your using color 5 (the purple) you should be using another layer and color in with the marker tool, then the water color tool to smooth it. The purple should only be used in very small areas that need the deepest shading. If you do this and its still too purple, turn the opacity of the layer down until it fits what your looking for

I hope this helps ^^

its ok! ^^ which program are you using? Paint tool sai right? If you go to the "selection" menu there should be an option to "clear". or press "Ctrl + D" hope this helps

It leaves those sharp lines effect whenever I'm done coloring. :/ Not really sure how to explain it.

Kuro-Torii In reply to Midoromi [2011-05-21 03:03:51 +0000 UTC]

make sure you have the select tool set up like mine. the select is probably not covering the entire area because of the way your tool is set up >_< ... if that doesn't work I'm not sure whats wrong D:
