Description EDIT:: Well after reading through it again I am now aware that I was absolutely clueless on what the heck I was talking about on most things (like DPI). As well, my grammar was horrible back then, no wonder I kept getting low grades on my English papers. Anyways, lets just say this tutorial doesn't go into the technicalities of Photoshop. Yes, that's it.

I swear, if I ever do something like this again, I will force termites to eat my brain: D:

Unless I am entirely bored, and I want to do it....like today...

Anyways, for some of you who asked for a tutorial, here is some of the basic steps of the process I take to prepare and start coloring my sketches.

Keyword is "basic." It does not go in depth into every single step I take to create something. Like where shadows should go, or where light reflects off of certain areas. Simply because my brain started controlling my actions and made me become lazy around the very end. As well in this tutorial, I am assuming you know some of Photoshop, so if some of the things seem vague. Oh well!

One more thing, if any of these steps seem familiar to you, possibly because you have come across a tutorial that mentioned the same thing, it's probably because I have come across the same tutorial and learned from it.

I know I came across quite a few, but some that I can remember include

and

Anyways, suggestions and comments are welcome. And if you have any questions, please don't be afraid to ask.

All enjoy!

Hey Emipuchucha.

Sorry you can't understand it, I don't know Spanish so I can't help you there.  This tutorial is pretty old anyways so I wouldn't recommend you learning from it anyways. Sorry. :/

Wow. That's interesting that you only use the hard round brush. It looks like you have a lot more texture in your CGing than that. I'm impressed.

I'm sure there are many more steps to creating that texture than there is labeled. Actually, it seems like I left a whole chapter out when it comes to CGing a piece. So many things I left out, forever to be kept secret by the artistic master mind. ;D

Ahh, what? I don't know!

W . o . w. Great tutorial. But but I always wondered, wat /is/ CGing exactly?

LindseyWArt In reply to xxx-fancy-xxx [2006-06-09 23:50:58 +0000 UTC]

It's short for computer graphics. Basically coloring or creating something with a digital program,
Photoshop, Opencanvas, etc.

It doesn't load for me either...I want to see it...

LindseyWArt In reply to Arcandreams [2006-06-09 03:13:09 +0000 UTC]

I think I fixed it by reuploading it. Before it wouldn't load for me either, but now it does. If it still doesn't then is has to be on DeviantART's behalf. Sorry.
