Just sharing how my layers are set up

Feel free to ask any questions of me at anytime. I absolutely love sharing what I have learned in Photoshop.

While I was watching you draw this, I noticed that it was continually difficult to see what you were doing and the quality of the livestream was pretty low Have you considered using [link] instead of the site you're currently using? My experiences with them have been much better than a lot of other sites that offer similar features

I get to ask questions? Yay :3

You're two shadow layers... what are they set up as? Did you mess around with the opacity?

For the shadow layers all I do is mess with the opacity. I think the bottom layer is set around 20% and then I do another layer that covers that one at around 15%

Ack. You need to note me and explain EVERYTHING to me! I'm a struggling digital artist who wishes she could just cling to her pencils, haha.

I don't understand the color fill layer D;

Im very basic with my layers for color-- I just call it 'base colors' and have all of the colors for one character on one layer. xD

Did you do something special with 'color fill'? Or did you just bucket tool?

Base color would be a good name for that layer!

I use the magic wand on the lineart layer.
Select the inverse. ((and then ususally go to select>modify>contract , contract by 1 pixel))
And then fill my selection with the bucket tool on the Base Color/ColorFill layer

ILLUSTRATOR?!?

I didn't know you could create such art in Illustrator. I HATE working in vector!

Oh no! I would have gone mad doing this in illustrator! This is in Photoshop (CS4)

It is?! It looks like Illustrator! I guess because I has CS3 and then CS5, I didn't know what CS4 looked like.
