Description
Here's a little something that people have been asking for. I hope it helps :]- I always keep the brush mode in 'normal'
- The brush tool is the only tool I use for this.
- Keep in mind that I use a layer for each different color.
- Flats are made with the Opacity/Flow at 100% and it's usually the lowest layer, start working on top of that on new layers.
- I use the default hard round brushes.
- I usually keep the Opacity/Flow at 20% or lower. It's obvious that it would leave a really light, semi-transparent color, but you must go over that certain area over and over for a more solid color.
- The eyedropper is optional, I only use it to get the color I want when referencing from a photograph.
- I use a Wacom 12x12 Intuos2 tablet for coloring.

I just wanted to drop by a 'thank you' for this. I just did a self-portrait using your tutorial for a school project final. Sure as hell saved my arse because I didn't know shit of digital painting. So yeah. Thanks, man. (:

You're not only talented, as well as help others! Thank you, this is for sure a reference in my future. Just one question: is this kind of stuff related anyhow to your daily job, or is it some kind of hobby?

So the stroked path stays? I would think it would be deleted at the end....I want MORE on how you go from the photograph to the stroked paths. Do you just do the lines freehand?
??
