Description
Show us how it's done.Yay I made a tutorial!
Didn't turn out amazing and GIMP (grrr) crashed on me, I only used it because it was easy to cram the pics together.

Oh wow, I'm currently going through a bunch of tutorials... I just wish others are as clean cut and easy to use as yours.
Well done and thank you for the help.

Thanks for putting this together! The layer clip feature of Sai isn't something I've worked with before but I've been doing the same thing the friggin' hard way so I appreciate the hint!

Your welcome
I've found clicking random buttons in programs to see what they do can be quite useful at times, but truthfully I learned that from another tutorial myself.

And that's what makes the tutorials so handy; even veterans (or noobs like myself,) can learn new tips and tricks from each other. So I appreciate your effort expended in the process of sharing. ^_^

The shading part was especially helpful to me. Thanks for the guide!

Your welcome. Shading is a hit or miss sometimes, if things aren't turning out right, duplicate the layer and use Mr. Eraser to solve all your problems that Mr. Waterbrush made :3

Immediately fav'd because this looks like it will help me a lot. I'll have to give it a try when I get around to it. Maybe it could help me not only draw Genesis (One of my OC's) right, but also put him in an animation.
Good sir, I do thank you for this wonderful piece.

Thank you, glad to help others in their artistic ventures, I shall look forward to those drawings and you have reminded me that I need to try my hand at animation.

It will defninitly help with the shading. However, you wouldn't happen to know the waterbrush's equivalent in Photoshop, would you? It's been years since I used GIMP and I can not for the life of me remember what it's special attributes are.

Well I used SAI AND GIMP here, mainly SAI, where the water brush is pretty sweet with a tablet. IN GIMP the water-brush/blur tool is good as well, very good for skies and stuff, though I always had to use a tablet screen or my mouse -.-
Now for equivalency; I'm not a pro at Photoshop myself, but the mixer brush seems to be the closest, but you could just as easily use the blur tool with a little finagling. If it's not up to snuff, like the spacing problems abound when I try to use it sometimes, there may be a plugin brush or something. Another tip, If I might add, is to use the dodge and burn tools, they aren't in SAI and I miss them so much ;_;
The key is fine controlled color mixture between the layers of the base and shadow to produce that realistic shadowy fade thingy to the piece.

This tutorial helped a lot, though it's lack of detail infuriates me. Truthfully, this tutorial is the backbone of my drawing as of now and the reason I use SAI, and will probably be a tad more helpful because it uses initial shading with the darker color, THEN water-brushing; works either way really.

well thankyou for that.
And you appear to be right about the blur tool being close enough to the waterbrush. Haven't had a chance to test it yet, but it looks like it should do the trick.
