Yeah
If you have room for your legs at school, you can try this one :
Stretch you legs in front of you, straight, so they don't touch the ground, and hold the position for 30 seconds, then relax for ten seconds, then do it again. Whe you are used to this, you can hold the postion for a longer time.

lineart in an alpha channel is far far better than multiply mode...

nkpunch In reply to SeanE [2012-02-15 09:19:11 +0000 UTC]

This is just for the cleaning of the page, I extract the lineart to color/add effects...afterward with a quick mask.

This is a good tutorial, the only recommendation I would make is to up the size of your tool choices on Photoshop. I can't read them in the standard size this page provides. Even the download is too small to be read. I'd like to be able to see what settings you are using for your work in this case.

Ha,sorry about that (And thanks for the advice, since it's my first tutorial)
I uploaded a bigger version, I think you can read now
(It veeeeery big)

DarwinsDomain In reply to nkpunch [2012-02-14 21:56:12 +0000 UTC]

Oh lol, I obviously didn't make myself very clear...

The rest of the layout on this was fine. The only thing my old eyes were having a hard time reading were the Brush selections and the tools you used on the tutorial. I'm as much interested in those as what you explain or the pictures you show.

As an example: [link]

This is one of my own tutorials...I like to clearly show the selections I make for brushes, and layers and other tools.

Sure thing! I can't wait to see part two (I know how I color, I want to see if there is a faster/better way to do it!)
