Thanks for this, it was very helpful! I had never thought of using gradients for shading before.

I'm kind of a texture fan, using one for the kilt reminds me ofย tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.phpโฆ
I REALLY remember it from that one episode of Ren and Stimpy.

Can i love you for this tutorial ? I'm derping with inkscape, not with PS, but i'm more than sure that this will help me

Actually, I've started using Inkscape for my lineart because I've found it to be much faster.

Oh man, why do I keep reading tutorials when even the simplest and most well-made still make my eyes cross? >__< (I think I have a problem reading things from screens. Or following written instructions. Or both. 6_9)

Excellent tutorial! I'll have to give it a shot when I get some time.
I use GIMP, though, not Photoshop. I hope translating between the two isn't too difficult.

what if your usin' paper and pencil or a tablet w/ a "stencil" in a comic-y format?

...can you say that again, but with more words?

how would photoshop apply when your using a tablet or pencil and paper?and is photoshop important for making comics in a digital form?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Okay, I'm still not exactly sure what you're asking. You might want to start at the beginning of my tutorial series (here: [link] ). When it comes to the sketch, I do things more or less the same way for both pencil/paper and tablet.
As for comics, if you're talking about using Photoshop versus using MS Paint, then I'd say that yes, Photoshop is important. Programs like Photoshop or GIMP are going to be better suited for comics.

The "highlight everything", although silly, can make a pic stand out.
I think some artists really overdo it but sometimes I use it on comics to make them brighter to look at, usually if I'm not intending to colour them properly.
Does make them look like balloons a tad.

It can work, but I feel that this is one of those things that new artists should avoid at first. It can make a pic stand out, but if everything is highlighted and given the same visual importance, then you get the exact opposite effect.

It's very interesting to see how you make them, i enjoyed the tutorials!
