[Update #3] Finished all the shading on her clothes and lipstick container, and changed the LineArt color on her skin and nails, and have started shading the nails. Kudos to those who can spot which nail is finished.
New tool learned: Free Transform tool with the "switch to warp" mode activated.

What's left to do? A bit more shading on: skin, gloves, nails and hair...
After that, she'll be done!
Stay tuned till next update!

[Update #2] Added in some more shading to her clothes, and corrected some details, such as her belt buckle. It just looks so good, I can't help but want to share my nostalgia with everyone!
New beloved tool: Polygonal Lasso!
It makes adding shading SO much easier,
since I don't have a graphic tablet to draw them in with.
[Previous Update] Added some shading to her lace and clothes, changed the color on her gloves (not noticeable unless u had a comparison) and ah~ my god those eyes! @.@ I'm so impressed with how they turned out that I just Had to show y'all!!
Don'cha just wanna stare into her awesome eyes?!
[/Update]

ah, Eclair ...she's been my guinea pig for my learning how to use photoshop--from LineArt cleaning, to LineArt coloring, and now to actual coloring...cuz her design is simple enough so I won't get to feelin like the project is over my head, yet complicated enough to keep me on my toes, and keep my interest long enough to get her fully colored.

This is what I have so far, after about 10 hours worth of coloring...most of it being spent on coloring the line art itself, and correcting the lines.
Using the Gradient tool is always interesting and fun
Decided to add a quick 2-toned background to the pic, so as to make it a bit fancied up

If you like it, Fav it! I'll be uploading the final product here!
