Description WARNING: BIG-ASS FILE AHEAD. NOT SO FRIENDLY WITH SLOW INTERNET.


For my third year anniversary on deviantArt, I've decided to make a tutorial about my coloring. Based on my last poll, a lot of people voted for the coloring option so I went with that. I consider this like a treat or something, to this community.

Now, even though I use SAI, I think it is also applicable with Photoshop. I use both program anyway so I know.

This is a very basic colouring tutorial, nothing too grand. I'm still about to explore good colouring techniques myself.

I'm so sorry if I have a weird approach on teaching stuff! If there are any corrections, or anything hard to understand at all, don't hesitate to tell me.

I might make more tutorials in the future. But I need to get better at everything else first. I hope you enjoy reading! XP

See the final artwork!

I haven't tried Gimp, but since the principles and process are fairly simple, it should be!

Don't worry, SAI is your friend. Especially since your tablet is very workable with these programs

Wooooow, this is SO easy! I always thought your coloring method was way more complicated, for the wonderful results it gives... But I'm even more impressed now! XDD

It is pretty simple to do, and yeah, I personally think it can be followed perfectly on Photoshop too And it does has a Blur and Airbrush tools, the Blur is a "drop" symbol that usually is placed with the Smudge ("finger") tool, shortcut key R. And the Airbrush is usually beside the regular Brush tool, and over the Stamp... shortcut J. Well, at least that's how it is in my version... xD

Anyways, thank you very much for this tutorial, sis, it's very clear and explaining! <3

ShootingStar03 In reply to Isa-Love-Anime [2011-08-31 11:17:08 +0000 UTC]

It's in the manner of how you place the colors ^^ I'm quite lazy so I seldom do complicated coloring XDD glad you liked it!

I'm not sure since I haven't used PSP intensively.. Try to explore and find out which ones can be equivalents to the tools I use, it might help ^^
