Description Edit: I think I might have paced the tutorial a little unclearly. The book/mag ends when you close the cover. Not before that. Sorry for placing a conclusion in the middle. ^^'

I misspelled 'Celshading'



Note: This is a pretty big file. Patience please. Also, this is a book. How would you open a book, do you think?

While you're waiting, a preview:

- CG tutorial!
- Celshading tutorial!
- Colouring process!
- Hair highlights, eye colouring and other misc stuff!

Anyway, it's pretty much my entire colouring process. It's not much, but I hope you guys find it helpful.

And since it seems to be the vogue these days, hey, people, if you found this helpful, then by all means, share it to the world. I don't license my stuff under the Creative Commons share alike license for nothing you know.

I'd appreciate it if you let me know/credit me before you go do it though. XD

Nice work! BTW, I like your coloring style, now I understand how you do those glossy-looking finishes. It also looks many times faster than my method. I use Photoshop to color.

I'm probably guessing that if I use your method, I'll be able to cut at least half the time I normally use for coloring. [I not going to do that, though

I need to make a tutorial =3

rifuu In reply to GreenVirus [2009-08-14 21:34:03 +0000 UTC]

lol, does it? This is actually a pretty long process, what with all the layers and stuff. It takes about 4 hours per character. ;^;

Goodluck with that! ;D

GreenVirus In reply to rifuu [2009-08-16 09:02:47 +0000 UTC]

The way I do it is by using pen tool to select, and then I fill it in. I do one to five layers for a single section depending on the effect I want to make [metallic, glossy, shiny, matte, leather, etc.]

I also play around with the blending method. Sound complicated? I sometimes get confused.

rifuu In reply to GreenVirus [2009-08-18 05:15:38 +0000 UTC]

I used to mess around with the pen tool when I was still into making sigs and tags and all those stuff, so I'm not that terribly confused. XD

And I do use Photoshop for post fixes so I'm not that out of the touch with the program yet. haha
