hey, i know it's a stupid question, but how do you set the line art to multiply?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you look on the right side where you see the tab that says layers. You have to be on the lineart to do this but that drop down menu that days 'Normal' click on it and select multiply. that will make the white turn transparent while out it going away.

i have no idea and it would help me a lot

Click on the layer have it locked to just the pixels you have down and color away.

You need to make the colors darker or lighter depending on what direction of light your going.

Beautifully done! That helps me with shading, but now (unfortunately) I have another question. How do you figure out where to put the shading with the light source?
Sorry for my stupid question
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pick a direction to have the light coming from. If it helps make a cheesy sun on another layer so you know where your light is coming from. Once that is picked chose if the light is gonna be behind or more infront of them. =3

Great tutorial, very helpful! Of course, it would help if I had the 'real' Photoshop instead of Photoshop Elements, but...
It's a superb tutorial for someone who has decent knowledge of Photoshop. Great work!
By the way: is that Daisuke Niwa from D.N.Angel? If not, it certainly looks like him!

Wow. I can't believe that I guessed it - when I haven't read the manga in such a long time. Great illustration, though.

Great tutorial! This should work on photoshop 6 right?? P.S. Why does Daisuke look so sad?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It should work. Possibly some of the tools used *IE the brush I think is either brush of pencil not all in one* are either marked differently or named differently. So yea.
I really dont know. I was gonna do another image to him but never got around to it. >^^<; If you had asked me 3 years ago I could have told ya but I dont know why I did that now.

Nice tutorial, could be helpful.
A suggestion though: Try to go into a bit more detail. You give absolutely no detail on how to shade or what tools to use. I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but this tutorial would be much more helpful if it had more detail to the instructions.
BTW, You're a really good artist/CGer (Cell-shader).

Great tutorial, but my GIMP program doesn't have a window showing all the layers, or maybe I just don't know how to view it...
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I dont know. Photoshop its auto in coming up. May be look around in the main frame bar *like the one along the top for me* and see if there is something there similar to view or just flat out windows.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
ignore my last comment, I finally figured out how to make the layer window appear. Now shading will be SO much easier.

I've just brought a new tablet - and had no idea to start - i thought you explained really well!!!! I'm no pro at PS, but I think I get it!!!

Great tutorial you got up here. It's also easier for me to figure it out as well since I have a mac too 
Also

I didn't find this helpful at all, because at no point did you say HOW you apply the shade. You just went over all the obvious things.
Right now, i use the polygon tool to draw an area i want to shade and then fill it in. But i'm guessing you are just using the paintbrush to draw on the shade? If that's the case, my hand isn't stedy enough and i'll have to stick to how i'm doing it.

Love your Tutorial! 
I've been trying to cell shade but I get all the base colors and layers to lock them off and from there out with the shading I'm oblivious. I don't understand how to get the crisp, straight, points, and such with each shade... I thought it might be the pen tool but I'm like "@____@"

This is very helpful and it will be of great use to me in future. (i.e., when I get a new computer because mine just died and manage to install a recent version of PS on it.) *laughs*

I can't shade for shit...I hope this helps me....It looks real good, thanks for putting it on here!

i said it was a good tutorial but you never mentioned it was just for line art. so maybe you should have put Cell Shading Line Drawings as a title and not just cell shading.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
The whole point of this before was from lineart you had.

I am very confused about the layering...How do you seperate each part of the character and make seperate layers??? God, see? I dont even know how to SAY it.
Hmm...this is also Photoshop CS...can you do the same thing on PS 7.0?
Sorry, I am just really confused

Great tutorial, though now i am sad cuz i did all the things, and thought it would say how to make the shading good eg. Like where the shading should be on hair... that was what i was looking for lolz great tut anyways
