Description
Due to popular demands ,I decided to make a coloring tutorial .To avoid page stretch ,I used flash to make a book like tutorial .I had a lot of fun working with flash, though it was frustrating at times. I checked the tutorial 4 times ,and had 2 friends tested it /correct it for me ,so it should work smoothly .Just a Note. This tutorial is not for beginners ,it's for people with at least some understanding of how digital programs work .This tutorial is very general that means it have about a little of everything .
Tip .If you have trouble with picking colors or shading ,then you should probably try to find some good references on google (cloth ,skin ,shoes ,etc) . It helps a lot .Also picking colors comes with experience, you can't expect to learn it in one day ,again the best way to learn about the different tone combination is to find references and learn from them .
Well then, Enjoy ! If you have any questions about the tutorial , please comment here ,I'll get back to you asap : )
Tutorial made with flash 8
Programs recommended for this tutorial : Paint tool sai ,Photoshop ,opencanvas ,Painter

I'm sorry, couldn't be there. I know that I could paint on Sai and Photoshop, its just that sometimes tutorials jump steps and I get lost. I just need someone to guide until I get the hang of it.

Yep, i know right? x3 i had to get the hang of outlining/linework pretty much myself, save for a few helping friends x3
Maybe message me when you have the time/you're online? c: I get active from around now, then usually carry on at my most active through the first 2/3 hours ^^ Then i either log off, or leave DA on but do something else.
Or i could try my hand at a video tutorial.

Hi there! Thanks for sharing your methods, this tutorial clarified a lot of things to me. But one thing remains a mistery to me: how to blend with CS? I've used airbrushes, and tried the blur tool with no success. Am I missing something or doing something wrong? Thanks and best regards!
