Description
Here's a tutorial on how I did the Jedi piece as half of an art trade for *kitsunedajfox.Enjoy it with every fiber of your being! The actual process of cel shading isn't that hard... it's knowing where to put the shades that's the difficult bit. I still have a long way to go before I'm as good as Haruhiko Mikimoto or Satoshi Urushihara, but let me share my mighty knowledge so far!

Well, this tutorial is a nice one, but I wonder something... Cell shading has been created to simulate the manga style,but applied to video games. I mean cell shading is for 3d artist to make like you are playing a "manga game". It's a rendering method, more than a graphic style... Usefull because thanks to this, it is not necessary to draw each movement on paper. You just make an animation with a 3d programm and you render it with cell shading effects, and that's done! And now I see artists who are trying to recreate this style, although this style is just a simmulation of manga. Really, I don't understand. Don't you think it would be more appropirate to call this "manga style colouring"?
However, your tutorial is well done, with clear explanations.

I recommended you watch Dangaioh, Bubblegum Crisis and Battle Angel Alita if you want to learn cel shading!

First off, friggin AWESOME tutorial! It rocks! And Your artwork rocks! You rock!
Second, even though you explained it as clearly as can be, I sill couldn't get the damned lightsaber to look right -_- NONE OF THE TUTORIALS I FIND WORK!!! (Or I just screw them up, which is probably the case here >.<

Is it me, or is Darth Vader donig a river dance?
Corset/Mid section attire on her reminds me of a toned down Shirow style of clothing. We never have enough Shirow cosplay out there. Probably too tricky.
For part two, you should show how to do motion blur on the Tie Fighter in the window.

Shirow cosplay nowadays would sadly involve naked girls being menaced by tentacles. I think the guy's had a nervous breakdown like the guy who drew Bastard! ...it's the only explanation for his blatant porn-drawing ways!

I think it might just be down to copious amount of money and the promise that he can do as much shading as he likes!

3000 times better than the clone wars cartoons!

Indeed... I kind of wish they'd been better drawn. The style works for dexter's Lab... but Star Wars? Hmm...

Woah!
I'll read that again and again and I won't really understand how the hell you did it, but I'll try to learn from it. It's so awesome! >.<

Heh heh... it's just a simple case of putting tones on top of other tones! Give it a go... it's fun.

Oh man, your tutorials are about 110% more useful than other people's because of all the information you pack in there. I'm glad to know that someone else uses refs right beside them when drawing. I always thought it was like cheating or something... But since you're doing it to- it must be ok. After all is Mighty OtaKing! XD *snicker*
I must say as much as I like your colors, I never realized how godly your lineart was, too...

You are a girl of wise wisdom as well as good artwork! Nah, references just keep you on track and make sure you're getting the shape of things right. Most of the poses of people in my art are pulled off by me and a webcam... not those two dodgy girls I drew, though! I wouldn't want there to be two of me, and I certainly wouldn't ever want to get it on with myself!
And yes! Watch the Macross Movie! It's called Do You Remember Love and it looks insane.

I need a full length mirror, or a webcam or something more capable than a makeup mirror for posing for myself. T_T *makes it her next artistic investment right after macross* 8D
*contemplates the mechanics of using herself to pose for couple pictures*

Webcam! Webcam! Haha... if you use a mirror, you have to hold the pencil and paper...

yeah, that's what family is for. I can get harsh when I need a difficult pose...
me:"Hold still." *ten minutes later*
them:"C-can I move yet?? T_T"
me: "NO! D<"

that must of taken you forever X_X;;; But its worth it in the end ^^v

Well, if I ever find myself with any, you can have them! Heh heh. I hope I never do, though! For one thing, I'd forget to feed them, or leave them at Tescos or something...
