Thanks, that was helpful. I love how you colour metal.
One little thing though, you CAN merge selected layers. 'Merge shown layers' only merges the layers that are set to visible, so if you set a layer to invisible using the face icon, it won't be merged.
I know this tut is a couple of years old now, so ignore me if you already knew that xx

This is great and you've covered the EXACT problems I am having. I'm using the latest demo of Open Canvas right now but still this is great. You've covered areas I wasn't even thinking about. Thank you so much for posting this!

Nice tutorial =] Very useful but I have a question...
In step three, the rosey colour goes from being very dark, to suddenly blended in with everything. Sorry if I sound stupid by asking, but how did you do that? I just can't figure out how to blend things, weather I'm using the paintbrush/pen tool or the watercolour tool. I can't make them fit together without looking really strange.
Sorry for the dumb question, I just thought I'd ask...

No not at all! All questions are welcome
And I use OC 1.1 as well. All other versions aren't free.
After applying the dark rosy areas, I took the watercolor tool and changed the color to white, which is the transparent color for layers on OC. From there, I blotched out the edges until it blended well with the skin - in a similar way to how I blotched in the skin. If you feel like it's still too dark, you can always use the opacity filter and drop the layer to be more transparent.
Let me know if you have any other questions, and good luck!

Thank you very much for answering my question =]
I'll try it out right now. I hope I can learn how to colour properly. I really like opencanvas, and it's alot easier than using GIMP.
If I have an other questions, I'll definatly come back and ask. Thanks once again!

That's my primary reason for using OC - it's simplistic. I'm primarily a traditional artist, so digital mediums can get really confusing for me. OC's been a blessing.
And no problem! I'm always willing to answer any questions. If you need me to visually detail any of the sections, I'll see what I can do. I made 100 print screens, so I'm sure I could elaborate on many of the steps.
