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!

Great tutorial, But I'm depressed at the fact that I can't get the shading right. and I'm using magic wand instead (becuase I really hate the lasso tool, it drives me crazy XD;; ) thats the only part of the whole tutorial that compleatly lost me. Sorry. 
But otherwise it's helped me grunches!

that's a really good tutorial, but the FONT! Aweful :S
If the font would be in Arial or times new roman (or other easy-read font) the tutorial would have been great!

Is that with the use of a tablet? or can you get that with a brush on the comp even with a mouse?

This is handy! I don't think my Photoshop came with any instructions, or I haven't found them, at least. This let me know how to use a couple of those mysterious buttons to do stuff I knew SHOULD be possible.

This may be interresting later on. I'm just starting with shading and everything. My colouring now exists out of flat colour and a bit of shadowing. I'll let you know when i get to using your techniques if you want.
