Description Almost a year went by since my last Tutorial...Sorry for that!!
Well remeber the poll I started months ago? Well a lot of things got asked so i decided to do a stap by step again, recording each step I do.
I already did it a few weeks ago but just finished it a few minutes ago. The final illustration will be up on my Tumblr soon (and a bit changed).
If you have any questions feel free to leave them as a comment or send me them on ask.fm

I tried to simplify it as much as possible ;-;
Have fun!

Please do not repost this tutorial!
I also would appreciate it if you won't re-upload/edit it.
I have a tumblr where this tutorial is up as well and instead of re-posting it I would really be thankful if you would replog instead ^-^/
Thank you so so much, hope it helps!

i have two questions, if you dont mind 

1. when you selected your character and it turned grey, did you do make it that colour on your own, or does it automatically become like that?

2. what does the multiply tool do?

Aeodin In reply to akiraxdee [2016-04-08 10:44:06 +0000 UTC]

This answer is for anyone reading this in 2016 or later who is curious about the same question: here is what "multiply" does: imagine that you have two differently colored pieces of transparent plastic, and you put them on top of each other. The effect is that a new color results. The "multiply" setting turns a layer into such a transparent piece of plastic, so that it is influenced by the color of the layer beneath it. In contrast, "normal" acts like you had two completely solid pieces of plastic: so if you put one on top of the other, you'll only see the solid color of the layer on top.

KyouKaraa In reply to akiraxdee [2014-10-13 14:02:47 +0000 UTC]

Sure! 

Yes I filled it in with grey by myself. So paint tool sai is not doing it automatically.

It's hard for me to explain, it's a setting/effect fo the layer not a tool. When you do a new layer above a already excisting one you can draw over the very first one and it turns out darker, you can shade this way without losing the details below.
Argh I cannot explain it I'm really bad with words or describing, please try it out and you'll see what I am talking about.

Do you know a trick how the "Magic Wand"-Tool work again? My don't want to work :/ Even if there is no gab in the line art, it marks everything! ._.

👍: 0 ⏩: 2

Aeodin In reply to Nairuna [2016-04-08 10:47:05 +0000 UTC]

If you are marking everything, then either: 
1. You are not using the magic wand in the same layer as your line art; or:
2. You have a gap/opening somewhere in your line art that you haven't found

KyouKaraa In reply to Nairuna [2014-10-13 06:37:26 +0000 UTC]

Ah yes you need to select the area around your character (the bg) and that invert it. than your character/lineart is selected.

Nairuna In reply to KyouKaraa [2014-10-13 11:06:31 +0000 UTC]

Don't work :/ But I think I found the problem. What "Color diff." do you use with the Magic tool?

MayI ask why you color the LA grey before coloring your flats?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

KyouKaraa In reply to Tohru0chan [2014-10-13 06:39:17 +0000 UTC]

I just fill it in so I have basic color, but the actual reason is that I have it filled in and can select the character whenever I want. This saves time and I won't draw over the lines
