Description This is a thankyou to all my watchers. After 3 years being asked to make a tutorial, it's finally here lol. Yeah a bit late and everyone has probably advanced past this tutorial level, but i hope it helps some artists nevertheless.

I don't enjoy lineart so I'm using this recent one [link] and re-coloring it different from the original.

This is my full process of coloring lineart. I don't always use this process, but these were the same steps i used when coloring the original which can be seen here: [link]

It didn't turn out as well as the original, but i rushed it as much as possible cause i just wanted to focus on the process and it's the 2nd time to color the same thing. This took me about 6 hrs straight to fully write up and color so i apologize for spelling, grammar or just not understandable cause i haven't double-checked.

Feel free to ask questions!

it helps me so much, thankyou, you are very skilled in what you do
i have a question though- what does the transparent do? as in the locking of transparent pixels?

minties In reply to ah-hin [2010-02-26 01:51:14 +0000 UTC]

If you draw a brush stroke in a new layer and lock
the transparent pixels, you will not be able to draw
outside of that brush stroke. This way you can color
in that brush stroke without worrying about coloring
outside of it.

minties In reply to Deuraz [2010-02-26 01:54:40 +0000 UTC]

I got it from conceptart.org, you'll have to look for it in the forums under photoshop brushes cause i don't have the link anymore.

Hi, i really donΒ΄t understand a thing and im looking for someone who could explain that to me!
In many tutorials they say i should choose airbrush. But what does airbrush do? For me, it looks the same with it or without...

Would love some help... (I use photoshop 7 btw)

minties In reply to Cujjo [2010-02-26 01:56:33 +0000 UTC]

Sorry i am barely active here anymore.

If your still wondering about airbrush its just a brush that can draw very softly and can blend easily if you set the flow and opacity % low.
