Description
PLEASE NOTE I have not used this method for six years and do not recommend it anymore. It was interesting, but it's hardly intuitive.I finally finished up the colour dynamics tutorial I had promised, now conveniently available as a Christmas present from me to y'all. Thanks again to Maddy for showing me what the hell paintbrush colour dynamics even are, and to Wicked Sairah for commissioning me.
Enjoy, and Happy Chrismahanakwanzakuh!

I didn't have a tablet and stil managed to create an alright illustration. (Doesn't have the pressure effect for shading but setting the brush style to Multiply created a similar effect).
Thanks for the helpful tute!

I don't actually use Photoshop, but GIMP - yet by following your advice, I realized the program actually had those functions too!
This might come in handy... Thanks for the tutorial!

Good tutorial! Some other people are marking stuff that really is more like a B-roll of their art as a tutorial(usually including a lot of bad spelling), with explanations that don't deserve to be called like that and skipping SO many steps you can't help but feel like an idiot.
But this was really good! Thanks

This was a great tutorial to read through. I have always struggled with advancing myself in Photoshop coloring. This will help out a lot, I think. I'm going to incorporate this tutorial's instructions into the next colored piece I do and we will see how it turns out. Thank you for sharing this. Very informative and very helpful. (Regardless of how old it may be.)

Very good tutorial.
I have learnt a new thing such as the lock transparency, different method for the shadow and highlight.
However, I don't understand with the colour dynamics.

Interesting style...I can't wait to try it out. :3
I usually pick separate palettes for each colour...this seems a lot more simple and equally, if not moreso, effective.

Yes, well- I haven't used this technique since *looks* 2005 for just that reason.

Oh, wow, that's...a long time. 8D
I'm trying it out now - certainly not a technique for beginners. Hard to get used to...but it looks really good when it's done right!

Still looking for a shading technique I'm happy with...this is definitely something I want to try!

OMG this technique is something I've always wanted and didn't know it exists (I specifically mean the colour dynamics). Thank you so, SO much!!!

press to lighten... press HARDER to darken!? I must try this... until now all I ever used color dynamics for was to add texture :#

Sweet baby James. This seems more helpful than some of the other tuts out there.

Awesome tutorial, I'll need to try this style of shading and see what I come up with.

This might be a stupid question, but is color dynamics available in Elements (specifically elements 3)?

Using CS3 - and a Tablet.. can't seem to get my "color dynamics" to work, at all.. even on a multiply layer with color dynamics on (and shade dynamics off) - when I use my pen, it gives me a solid color.. I've experimented with it a ton, and it doesn't seem to.. well, I can't figure it out. XD

Awesome tutorial! I've been trying for ages to learn how to color my drawings without a tablet. This helps a LOT! Thanks so much!

How d'you mean? This is pressure sensitive, so I'm pretty sure it would require a tablet, unfortunately.

Hi! I have a question.. I did like you said in the toturial but when I "locked the trancparacy pixels" I coulnd't paint anything on my "final flat colors" layer.. And the layer where under the linework layer, not above.. When I tried there was no color showing:S But instantly when i removed the "lock" I could paint again. But then it went outside the lines.. What did I do wroing? My Linework layer dont have a transparant background but when i use multiply it shouldnt count? Im would be happy for some advice

You have to already have the basic outline of colour filled in, you can't just lock the transparency on an empty layer.

Thanks for writing this up - I haven't had a chance to read it yet but it looks like a very handy feature to brush up on when I have the time.
I can't believe I didn't find this photoshop utility/thing before!
