what program are you using when doing this? I've used several different programs, but haven't come across one that I like yet. The one you are using it looks you can do a lot more then the one I'm currently using.

It was very very helpful Kyou, thanks!
You say you're not good at anatomy, but I don't think that's true. For me (I also draw long legs and a really shoujo-ish manga) you have the perfect manga character anatomy. Yes of course, human people have a different anatomy, but for a manga it's really really good!

subtlerebellion [2013-12-29 21:32:34 +0000 UTC]

Great tutorial, thank you! I love how you add so much color to your drawings c:

And I also like the fact that your lineart isn't so neat, it contributes a more "artsy" loose like style to the picture. Great job!

It probably isn't something I can master any time soon, but I can just stare and suck it all in with massive amounts of appreciation nonetheless C:
Also, I'm always impressed with your color choices. You seem very bold about mixing very cold and warm shades of different colors from the spectrum. Keep up the great work! x)

Cassamara [2013-12-29 20:16:22 +0000 UTC]

I'm probably the dumbest person viewing this, but what do you mean for each color you are using a new layer? As in Every. Single. Color. Or a layer for the base, layer for shading, layer for lighting, etc...
