Got a lot of comments, requests, demands (?) asking me to do the tutorial ( especially for the hair part)

But because of my poor Eng, I had no confident to do. Then some of you suggested me that I don't have to explain much, just crop and paste to show my working processes is also okay.

So I tried, and here's how it turned out!!!

Usually, I have so many coloring styles. For this time, I chose to begin with the most basic one so I hope everyone can understand it easily. (and not too hard for me to describe )

Hope this can help, and sorry if my Eng confused you.

Please feel free to give me the comment, suggestion or question, etc you want to ^^

Thanks so much for viewing!!! m (_ _) m

FAQ

Q : Is this all done on the same layer?
A : Yes. I just changed the layer properties from Multiply to Normal layer later.

Q : I would like to ask what kind of setting do you have your brushes on? or are there any special brushes that you use?
A : No any special brushes, I think it's the default brushes which came with Photoshop ^^

Q : Did you used smudge on the hair to make it looks smooth??
A : Sometimes, but for this pic, I didn't. I used two type of brushes to weigh the shading instead.

Q : Why do you do everything on the same layer?
A : Because the RAM of my comp is not very high, and it will be very slow, if I use too many layers
Anyway, for this pic, I had no need to use, just only one layer was enough.And it's also my style to color in this way.

Q : What does multiply do?
A : The Multiply layer will help you to see the direction of the hair from the pencil lineart when you shaded it at first.

อุๆ สุดยอดไปเลยป่านจัง พริ้งมากค่ะ

ฮ่าๆ ยากกว่านี้หนูก็ไม่มีปัญญาอธิบายแล้วค่ะ
สะดีดสะดิ้งอยู่นาน ไม่ใช่มีความลับที่เทคนิคหรอก (เพราะเบสิคมากเทคนิคที่ใช้ แต่ห่วยอิงค์เลยไม่กล้าทำ กร๊ากกกกกก

บรัชใน Photoshop เวอร์ฯ หลังๆ มันช่วยเยอะเลยนะคะ ไม่ต้องปาดมากน้ำหนักก็ไล่ให้เอง ง่ายกว่าเพนเตอร์อีก
