Description
Full View Please!Soft CG tutorial to help people out : [link]
A step by step CG C: I thought this might be slightly helpful for the people who asked how I colour on Photoshop~ I don't usually colour lineart at the end (because i'm to lazy 9w9) but it looks better with it coloured, so i'm gonna try and do that from now on <3 *u*
Steps~
Step 1: Sketch
Step 2: Lineart
Step 3: Base Colours
Step 4: Shades
Step 5: Darker Shades and Highlights
Step 6: Coloured Lineart
The character is new~ She's gonna appear in my manga Fragile later on in the story C: I figured I needed more main girl characters LOL. I'll probably do a ref for the people who might wanna draw her for my contest~ TuT ([link] )
Her name's Mika (said 'Me-Ka' ), btw *A* She's based off my youngest cat, rofl~ <333
Discourage criticism 'cos I know where the mistakes are C: Feel free to ask questions about my colouring process though!
Enjoy ;D

I know this is a completely dumb question but for the colour what program did you use because no matter what i do, i can never get the colours to even remotely suite.... and when i do it takes over 2 to 3 weeks to colour it in via 2 pixel magnification...

Cute! This actually helps a lot ..
But one question~ In the last step, how do you color the lineart without affecting the other layers of color?

Kakimochi-chan [2007-12-09 05:35:05 +0000 UTC]
in step 6, did you change the color of the lineart? or is it someting else, cause it looks different from step 5...

awesome.. thanks for the tutorial! but may i ask...
the lineart.. how did you clean it up? did you use painter or photoshop? did you do it manually, or is there a specific option that allows you to smoothen it?
sorry for the many questions..

Kuurin In reply to 13-year-old [2007-11-03 03:50:02 +0000 UTC]
For the mouse, you can always use the pen tool for lineart C: That's what I used before I got a tablet.
