Description Full View for tutorial

Basically I decided to make a tutorial for who got me photoshop CS2! Thank you SO MUCH. But you don't need that program to use this tutorial. Really, it can be used in any program from photoshop 5-CS2. You can easily adapt it to other programs too if you need it. Anyway, I hope you find this useful. I didn't want to give away the final picture completely, which will be posted soon

Enjoy

EDIT: I forgot to give it to you If you want to use my original sketch, [link] here it is for you

Did you take out the white yet? Just use the magic wand and to take out the white background (hold control and shift at the same time and you can select multiple areas). You'll then be left with just the lineart. THEN lock transparent pixels and color it black.

Maaaah I am poor and therefore I only have a mouse to work with. -_- I've found that some techniwues people do using a tablet also work with using a mouse. Only it's WAY more time-consuming and somewhat harder. But the calligraphy bursh halpes ratify that somewhat.

Also, I am VERY poor, as I only have Photoshop Elements 2.0. I know, I'm so bad. Ah well. PS still rocks. XD

Hey there - I'm here on behalf of a site called Coloring Dragons ( [link] ) that is essentially an artist's community. We're looking into setting up a tutorials section made up of hundreds of different artist's cheats and tips and would love it if we could include this one amongst them! Obviously you would still be given 100% of the credit for making it and there would be a link included with your name to any internet gallery you happen to own so that even more people can see your work in action. If this sounds good to you then get back to me and we'll sort out any questions you may have

thanks for the tutorial but its really not as easy as you say it is. You go through the tutorial mighty fast as if we have done this before and there are no tips as to what size the brushes should be and such so it's really quite hard to get anything remotely similar to what your final piece looks like

Maybe you should spend more time adding very detailed information.

It was fun to try though but I was pissed at the end result since the tutorial is not as detailed as it should be.

thanks!
Did you use a tablet when you did this? Or did you just do the mouse? Either way, you did a great job!

I know that tablets are better than a mouse, Can this still be done using a mouse, without too much trouble?
