I promised I'd do a tutorial or two a while back, but never got around to it. ^^ ...so here's a little colouring tutorial using step by step pictures from Penguin: Nathan

It's recommended that you have a pressure sensitive tablet, and Photoshop 7 or higher to follow this tutorial.

very helpful dude thanks quick question do you tend to use your burn and dodge tools much for tones/highlights, etc? or is it better to just brush in the different shades using your pallet?

how do u make custom brushes tho? i've never heard of such a thing... (then again, i have gimp, which is a lot like photoshop but not.)

Jirakotsu [2009-02-01 19:48:41 +0000 UTC]

Now, I'm trying this out right now! The only problem is, I don't want plain colours! What brush do you use in order to make it look like a paint brush? Custom? If it's custom, oh snap. XD

Excellent tutorial 8D

MaRaMa-Artz [2009-01-13 23:17:55 +0000 UTC]

That's one of the best coloring tutorials I've seen! Very, very useful for you going into details. Others do a lot without explaining most of the things they did and leave it to guessing. @.@

Of course, it also take the talent and patience to do something like this! But know at least I know how to try. Thanks!
