Description
EDIT: Wow! This got onto the front page! Thank you so much, guys, I'm really glad you like it! xDLike it says in the tutorial, a lot of people have been noting me to ask how I shade or colour or sketch my drawings, instead of telling them all seperately, I have made them this!
Its one helluva big file so I do apologise dial uppers! I tried to make it as small as I could ! <__<
Although I did it for those people who were noting me, anyone is free to use it as long as they comment or fave it ^^ I hope it is of some help to you, since I draw like a freak!
FAQ
Did you use a mouse for this? - No, I used a Graphire wacom tablet.
What software did you use this in? - Adobe photoshop CS2.
Can you make this in OC/PSP etc, please? - I'm afraid not. The only software I use is photoshop, I do not have any other method of doing my pics, so I wont be able to make a tut on them.
--------------------------
Please reference to this tutorial if you use it, that way more people can benefit from it! Thank you!
