Description EDIT: Wow! This got onto the front page! Thank you so much, guys, I'm really glad you like it! xD

Like 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!

That was really helpful (although the text is really difficult for me to read). It shows me how little I know about photoshop - I've been doing EVERYTHING manually. I'll try to make use of this tuturial when I start your commission. Your Glimmer character looks great! Thanks for sharing!
