Description Warning: big file hehe

So that's it, my third tutorial \o/ the others are a bit old, I've decided to make a new one ^^ I couldn't detail more because it would be HUGE, and it's already very big ._.
If you have any question, just ask me ^^
And always remember: "practice makes perfect". As the perfection is unreachable, we are forever practising.

PS: I use the brush tool for the lineart.

opening a wip? that's strange. Do you save it as a photoshop (PSD, PDD) file? I maintain my layers when saving in this format .-.

You know, I haven't done that, I only have saved it as JPG which I know is a single flat, and then as SAI but that never opens, I'll try those thank you

when you finish your drawings try to save them as PNG because I think it's better than JPG (and the png file will maintain the transparent background if it has one)

Once you've got to a point where you're going to edit it in Photoshop (just for that one step) you can A) Save it as a .psd file. or B) Merge all the layers together and save it under a different file type such as a .Jpeg

I believe they use the latter in this tutorial as I notice it looks as though they've got it all to one layer in both the photoshop part and the last Sai part.

English peoples can understand a 5th graders writing and most non-English speakers are ABOVE that level.

I've never seen someone apologize so much, it's not a good look on such a talented artist! It's like apologizing for displaying 'poor' work. If your work is shit, then do not show it, but seriously, your work is magical!!! \o,o/ Another tip. Try to leave out excessive 'chit-chat' just stick to the steps of tutorial.

It's because I don't like making english mistakes and it bothers me, so I apologize...
Ok, thanks for the tips :3
