Description
My old art teacher from when I went to school 8 years ago started to teach her students about digital art which is a new thing in that particular school. She showed the students my art and one of them recognized me from deviantART which was pretty neat! Small world. Anyway!
The teacher asked me if I could come over to the school and teach the kids a thing or two about digital art but because I'm a shy and anxious dude I politely turned down the offer. Then she asked if I could at least write down some tips for the students and this is what I did! Maybe it could help some of you new digital artists get started! These steps are very basic and I never really go into that much detail about any of them but hopefully it can help you out either way!
The tutorial was originally in Swedish but since I'm one nice motherf*cker I translated it all for ya!
Here's another tutorial:

You really are one nice MOTHERF*CKER. (Your words!)
This helped a great deal, since I never really knew how to color correctly, let alone shade!
So, THANK YOU!

just a quick question on line art part do you use pen tool on that part?
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, no I use the brush tool. I don't like the artificial feel you get from the pen tool ^^

can I ask one more question? it's kinda unrelated to the picture.
what does multiply do again to colors. I saw lots of artist after putting base color they use multiply @_@
π: 0 β©: 1
If you put your layer blending mode or brush setting to multiply it will make things darker basically xD The best way to see what it really does is to open up photoshop yourself and then paint on a random color. Then you make another layer and use the same color to paint over whatever you drew on the first layer.
Some people like to shade their basecolors with one single color set on multiply which works pretty well, depending on the situation!

A new Leth tutorial thats simplified for kids? -rolls in that shit like a pig in Dubai- I practiced a lot of my coloring nowadays off your originals and 's, then failed at your glows one so it'd be nice to get an update to try and use. Thanks for sharing Matt! Always fun seeing new stuff.

Finely! A good and simple tutorial which is not on Sai. I'm so happy. X'D
Even if I could take a bit of the tricks on Sai's tutorials, I feel more comfortable when someone do a photoshop tutorial.
Thank you for sharing your tutorials with us. :3

Awesome, I'm sure they'll be able to understand this well! Maybe you could make a separate sheet containing common questions if you won't be there. Thanks for translating, as well!

Question, does this still apply to a mouse user?
π: 0 β©: 2
Its not that mouses are bad but you will see a huge improvement when u start using a tablet.
π: 0 β©: 0
Well the problem with a mouse is that it doesn't have pressure recognition! Aka it won't matter how hard you press on the mouse buttons - it only has one pressure. That's why tablets are a must for digital artists because it lets them draw or paint just like they do with real pencils or brushes ^^

Welp, looks like I' the only one who draws things with a mouse.

Don't get me wrong - It certainly works to use a mouse but it's just waaaay easier with a tablet
