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!

i know but... i need a program cause i dont have one so, do you know how i could get one?

You could go on adobe.com and get one but they are increadibly expensive to buy. If you know someone in real life who can copy one for you, you can get one that way

Ive learned alot since the first time i used this and now i have a uick tip for you and anyone with photoshop. One, for other people, i have Photoshop 3.0 and it has ALL of these functions so chance are, unless you work with one or two, youll have it two! And for shivia, a quick tip that i learned that helps your shading look even better, simply take the blur tool and set it to aroun 9-15% strength and go over any shading seperations that looks too hard or pixel-like once. I found that messing around with the blur tool into shading helps once you find a method that works for you. Still a WONDERFUL tut though!
