This tutorial was very helpful and filled with a lot of useful information. I have just started working with a new style of art and this has definitely helped me along the way. If you would like to see the first piece I have tried using this tutorial, it can be found here [link] . Thank you for making such a lovely tutorial available to aid artists like me.

Wouldn't this be considered gradient shading? Ah well, very nice tutorial.

so cool & helpful! how do you get your lasso tool to have really smooth edges? mine always looks pixely...
π: 0 β©: 1
If your lasso tool is selected be sure the 'anti-alias' option is checked, it's visible on the top-menue bar
you can even add a number highter than 0 in that feather: area up there to make it more smooth

By far the most useful and time saving tutorial ever. I have seen it on your site but i was never able to comment/ show my appreciation on it. I would have never thought of coloring like that. Thank you Very much for this wonderful Tutorial.
and to answer the old Gimp question above Yes it is able to lock transparent pixels (similar spot as CS2) but it could be a newer feature since 2005.

Thanks a lot! 
There is a way to make the process a lot faster, instead of working with the locked layers you can use masks, that's what I do for all my newer images and it works faster and is also easier

Thank you I will give that a try. Learning techniques are so fun!

When did you change the colors of your lineart?..... When did you ink your line art in different colors? Did you use the pencil tool? AND...Can you explain what the other outine layers where used for?
π: 0 β©: 1
The coloring of the lineart is described in the last text part, the way I described it there is just possible if you have your outlines on a seperate layer, if scan an inked picture you can clean it up that way I described it in this tutorial:
[link]
the outline coloring is also described in the detail there
the un-used layers there are simply used to mark the areas better and to have a better overview of all the layers, (normally I give each color a seperated layer)

very nice, would this work with PS elements?
π: 0 β©: 1
Possibly, I am not sure if elements offers layerstyles that way, but you can try
I made it with version 7.0, CS and CS2 of Photoshop works fine that way in all versions

Oh wow~ That was a very useful Tutorial~~<3 Thanks for posting it

The cleanness--- and dare I say simplicity of this technique yields such strong results. I want!!
π: 0 β©: 1
Thankies!!
If you merge the layers with the shadings and light and put a gaussian blur over it, you get a almost painted result, which is also very nice, the practical thing with that technique is that you have your shadings on seperated layers and so you can really change them easily.

woa, really nice and thorough tut. I've always wnted to try cell shading, but I'd probably need a tablet.

Thankies!!
A tablet is THE thing! I am addicted to my one

hm...ja das ist sehr interessant, wie andere zeichner colorieren =3 ich mach die schattierung nie auf ner separaten ebene, ich mal immer auf der grundfarbe rum 
aber ist ein tolles tutorial ^o^b
π: 0 β©: 1
Danke!
Generell mach ich's auch so, dass ich gleich alles auf einer Ebene mach, zumindest dann wenn's weich und "gepainted" aussehen soll, dann geht das fast leichter wenn's auf einer Ebene ist, aber wenn die Schattierung extra ist kann man recht schΓΆne Effekte mit den Ebenen-Einstellungen machen, z.B alles dunkler machen, oder so eine Stimmung reinbringen z.B Sonnenuntergangs-artig wo alles ein biΓchen ins rote geht ...etc.

jo, stimmt, kommt drauf an wie es aussehen soll =3
ich versuch beim nΓ€chsten bild mal deine methode wie im tut ^^

yep love your tuts! its the gradient part i have most probs with and i have no patience with pen tools but i will practise and that
π: 0 β©: 0
Whoa, that's dead confusing. You've lost me on that one.
Still, I'll find my own method of doing it. I use GIMP 2, which has a different layout.
π: 0 β©: 1
Does Gimp allow "lock transparent pixels" ? I had it once, but never really did much with it. This is the most practical function of the photoshop layers!!! I don't make any pic without using it.
π: 0 β©: 1
You have a layer, completely transparent, draw a circle in there and than set the layer to "lock all transparent pixels" if you color than on your layer you just color that circle, all the stuff which is transparent is locked, so it allows you to make a gradient over the whole layer but it will only be made on that circle.. = you just can color where ther is no transparent pixel = just where there is already a color.
