Description
NOTE : This isn't really a tutorial, but since there are a few people asking me how i did my shadings crisp-like, so i've decided to show how i did it (altho i'm not sure if i did it in this way myself OwO;; ). So this serves as a pointer for those who might want to try and add a bit of these into their own ways of doing it.Warning :This is for those who are a mouser only, and that have the time and patience to do cell shading one at a time. And that for those who love to do raw crisp cell shadings, not the soft-type shadings.
Nothing much to be explained, since most of them are already mentioned. But i'd like to point out that if you are doing the highlight on the hair, you can either do it on a new normal layer or just do it on the hair layer itself (which is why i've eyedropped the original color of the hair so that i can just wipe off the mess for the highlight job with the paintbrush). I usually hates to do new layer since it'll usually cover up the lineart below it anyways. But it's up to you to decide. I'm just doing my part in showing on how i did it.
Cell shading style (no dodge tool involved). If it's too crisp, just use the blur tool at the edges. I love the way it is for my part.
Make sure you know where the light source is coming from so your shadings will look and make much more sense. I usually ignored that rule so do not follow my example if you want perfection (i'm pretty much of a person who didn't really care of perfection and usually did it on instinct).
Now you know why my cell shade is crisp and not that wobbly even if i use a mouse. Kind of. :/ since this is only half of my secret. No trick there tho since it's basic.

Um. I think the tutorial's great its just.. Did you keep your lineart (background) underneath all the colouring layers.. coz if you did how did you manage to not colour over the lineart when you expanded the magic wand selection.
sorry about this Im a bit stoopid T-T

Not a bad method... would help, however, if all the pictures were together to save time. I didn't know it was done so simply... no special effects or anything. ^_^ And it's amusing, the way you never named your layers but nevertheless told the viewers to... "Do as I say, not as I do" works here.
Good tutorial. ^^

do you know that u can extract the lineart from the white BG by tapping crl+alt+1 then ctrl+shift+i then ctrl+shift+j? this allows u to put ur different collour-layers underneath the lineart (much easyer to edit stuff then). . . can come in handy. . . but u probably allready know this!?! ^__^

Here's something useful since you have Adobe Photoshop. After you colored a section like the hair color. Leave the layer selected and click on the options on the top right of the Layers palette (which is the arrow that's pointing to the right), and select new layer and the new layer window pops up. Make sure that the clipping to mask thing under the name of the layer is checked and click OK. You have a new layer with the new arrow pointing pointing to the recent layer that was colored. It's very easy to shade in the color for the spot that was already colored.

Thankyou very much for creating this, it really helped me even though it was really frustrating coloring the same picture 5 times. (Yeah... I had a bit of a hard time...)

I realize that I use the exact same techniques as you do but mine take so much time ToT;; it must explain the whole not having a tablet idea throws it out the window. ^.^;; I usually digitally ink everything before I start coloring. very nice tutorial! gives me a good idea how well you color! *o* I love it.

wow, amazing stuff, and great tutorial, i always wondered how you shaded your stuff! i almost always use a lasso tool when i do the cel-shading style, but maybe i should try the brush tool, your results are always so awesome!

hey this is a great tutorial and you've got a fantastic colouring style like many people have said! well done.. but heres a tip that will help you shave some time off while doing number 7
if you copy that hair layer.. so its in exactly the same position.. and then on the layers tab...click the box with the paintbrush.. and THEN go over the parts that you've already coloured it will only go on the parts that are in that layer... so no mess on other parts of your drawing.. saves time having to rub them out.. and then just press 'X' on your keyboard to swap the paintbrush foreground colour to your background one..(which should be that lighter colour you used i think) or if you just switch it manually to the previous colour you were using with a hard egde then you can get the previous colour!.. or you could use the eraser and just set it so it paints pink if your more used to that tool (just make the foreground colour from white to pink ^__^)..so hope that helps...
