EDIT: Fixed a lot of my typos and grammar errors. Derp.

Oh man, I promised one for a long while now. >.>
I'm not sure how helpful this will be, since its practically a giant progress thing.

This covers the basic use of the lasso tool, and shortcuts of photoshop.

This is really just one of the many ways I do things. For a picture much like my madhatter piece, I use a completely different method. The same also applies for pictures like "Shut up and listen".

Please let me know if you found this useful! ;w; If it proves helpful, perhaps I will make more someday. Feel free to ask questions as well!

Nice work on the tutorial- I already have my own coloring method, but, yeah, still good work. |D

This'll help so many people.

As for line-art, I go traditional and just color digitally. 8D [/flop]

Thanks~ :3
Well, I'm in no way forcing my method on anyone, but its great that you've got your own process going on.

Ahh, I used to do that too. xD I still do actually, from time to time, although I prefer digital since I can work at whatever resolution to make it a nice print.

Loyale In reply to owdof [2010-03-24 06:54:21 +0000 UTC]

I don't like inking digitally because I'm lazy. ;u;

Ha ha.

But yeah, keep it up.

It was pretty helpful. I'm new to PS.and just learning, I also find it hard to just do lineart and doodles on it though. Haven't found the right brush yet, to start out

owdof In reply to Oblivious-Light [2010-03-24 03:56:16 +0000 UTC]

So glad you thought so! ;O;
Photoshop is okay for doodles, in my opinion. The default hardbrushes arent that great at lineart though. ): they arent very crisp.

Are you looking for a good brush to paint with, or are you looking for a brush to ink with?

Oblivious-Light In reply to owdof [2010-03-24 21:50:40 +0000 UTC]

yeah - doodles are alright. it's getting a great line that isn't like.. too think or thick.. that feels like i'm just drawing. no they are not. lol
well.. i think i can try some stuff out to paint with. but i'm looing more for an inking one, yes.

owdof In reply to Oblivious-Light [2010-03-24 22:48:20 +0000 UTC]

Hmm.. I still have not found a decent inking brush for photoshop, which is why I rely on SAI's brushes. :] Corel painter has a good set of brushes though! Very diverse.

Oblivious-Light In reply to owdof [2010-03-24 23:07:03 +0000 UTC]

yeah - That's alright though I'll make do.. or I might buy SAI >>.<< lol
yeah - but isn't it a lot more expensive? Do you know the prices for Corel Painter, and SAI?

owdof In reply to Oblivious-Light [2010-03-24 23:11:23 +0000 UTC]

I know SAI is relatively cheap, but I'm not sure how much corel is.. hmm.

Alright - another friend mentioned somewhere around 50$ but they weren't sure either, cause they didn't buy theirs.

owdof In reply to Oblivious-Light [2010-03-24 23:25:50 +0000 UTC]

Ahh, I see. xD I didnt buy mine either. It was gifted to me.
I'm pretty sure you can download a free version online though! :]

Oblivious-Light In reply to owdof [2010-03-24 23:31:57 +0000 UTC]

haha. yeah Maybe i'll also get mine gifter to me... Won't that be illegal though? OR no?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

owdof In reply to Oblivious-Light [2010-03-25 00:20:00 +0000 UTC]

It would depend on the person who gave it to you, I suppose. D: if they bought it and just gave it to you, then I dont think its illegal.

Then again, downloading music and movies is illegal, yet a lot of people do it. xD

Oblivious-Light In reply to owdof [2010-03-25 00:21:59 +0000 UTC]

Right.. I suppose not.
haha.. more like almost everyone has done it at some point T_T It's too bad really... but no one can stop it.

owdof In reply to Oblivious-Light [2010-03-25 01:13:15 +0000 UTC]

Yeah~ its really a sad thing, since musicians need people to buy their CD's in order to live. xD;
I download some tunes myself, but I always try and support my bands whenever I come across a CD. :]

Oblivious-Light In reply to owdof [2010-03-25 01:15:27 +0000 UTC]

yus. They definitely need the money.
yeah - me too. I always try to buy CDs from my fav. bands and new ones I come across.

owdof In reply to Oblivious-Light [2010-03-25 02:01:37 +0000 UTC]

Thats good! people should be more encouraged to go out and buy them CD's. >: Record stores are becoming an endangered species.

Oblivious-Light In reply to owdof [2010-03-25 02:07:26 +0000 UTC]

haha definitely
No kidding.. there's only like one non commercialized record store, well really two - but only one that has newer stuff.
