Description KUDOS TO YOU WHO READ TO THE END
AHAHAH man I have no idea how to make a pretty looking tutorial sorry //cries

But anyways yeah... this is my most recent method used to colour the last several pieces I've submitted. The 2012 PP SS, Reve's Sheet and MS : re:clay stg 02 are the ones that use this method. The other times maybe led to it, like the outfit meme. Everything else used a slightly different colouring method, not the "select area and colour" method I'm showing over here AHAHA

Uhm, if you have any questions feel free to ask

Done on several people's request for a colouring tutorial. When asked... most referred to my current style and not painty style so haha here you go.

Tools: PaintTool SAI. (airbrush, brush, pencil, layer modes)
I basically used 22 layers (2 sketch layers included)
Usually for coloured sketches though I only use like 3 as a whole AHAHAH //CRIES

YEAH OKAY UHM YOU CAN SEE THE FINISHED PIECED OVER AT MY TUMBLR : [link]

ENJOY . . .

The character I drew was chosen via random by a certain Zia who was mingling in chat even though she was sick HFF HFF HOPE YOU GET BETTER YO. This is Yen Yang, the offline ver of Zishuu : [link]

Camilla69 In reply to ??? [2013-01-03 00:47:35 +0000 UTC]

excuse me.I'm still newbie at using SAI.
so,where can I find "Block Fill"and "Cell Shade"?
and why there's no shade mode in my layer? ._.
it's confusing me -_-a

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ldn483 In reply to Camilla69 [2013-01-03 00:52:47 +0000 UTC]

Errrrr no that's just me naming the method LOL
Block fill is basically solidly putting the colour down 100% opacity where you want it
Cell shade is uhmm... sharp shading, it's not blendy but uhm yeah you can google it
LMAO uhm if you're using the fan translation... er it probably is called a different mode Im not sure what, but it's darker than multiply

I supposed this was for more advanced users;;; //cries

Thank you!

Nice work Fal. ^^ So you use the select tool a lot huh? I think I'd just work slower if I used that thing. I just wing it when I shade. The eraser set at a low opacity works wonders for getting the shapes you want.
