Hihi~
Many people have asked me how I color hair, so here you go~
I hope this tutorial will help you in some sort of way, I did my best to explain every little detail, if you actually understood my every word...then wow you must be a genius xD

Anyway The Walkthrough of the other 3 pics will be uploaded shortly after I rearange some parts of it

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

FAQ:
Do you do this ALL of this on one layer?
- ummm...no. I make for every step a different layer (ex. Background, Hair, Shade1, Shade2, Light, Detail, Lineart, etc.)

I didn't understand the first step, how do you use the wand tool?
- Well, yeah hard to explain actually, but basically just go to the layer where the lineart is and select the places you want to fill in the color, after that do as it's guided in step one.

Feel free to ask me here by commenting or either note me ^^
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Used Photoshop and SAI Shortcuts in this tutorial:

Photoshop - you can edit these options to your liking by going to Windows>>Keyboard Shortcuts and Menus or either use teh original shortcuts like I do
Undo - Ctrl + Z ( to redo it just select Ctrl + Z again)
Brush Tool - b
Pick up Color - g/b + Alt
Eraser Tool - e
Make Size Bigger - ]
Make Size Smaller - [
Magic Wand Tool - w

SAI - same goes for SAI. To edit you can find them Help/Config>>Key Config
Undo - Ctrl + Z
Redo - Ctrl + Y
Brush Tool - v
Pen Tool - n
Pick up Color - Alt (hold it)
Eraser Tool - e
Make Size Bigger - ]
Make Size Smaller - [
Invert Canvas - h

2artgirl3 [2012-06-07 21:31:15 +0000 UTC]

how do you make the lines "clean and curvy"? I've tried and it didnt work out very wel...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

tenzeru-chan In reply to 2artgirl3 [2012-06-11 17:54:46 +0000 UTC]

uhm just practice it a lot! Make fluid and quick strokes, or just draw it on a bigger canvas than usual, like twice as big as usual and when finished with everything re-size! That way those bumpy lines will look better! if something is still wrong feel free to send a note ^^

2artgirl3 In reply to tenzeru-chan [2012-06-12 00:22:27 +0000 UTC]

tenzeru-chan In reply to 2artgirl3 [2012-06-12 12:42:11 +0000 UTC]

oh I see! I hope you get a tablet, it's a lot easier to draw/color with on the PC! Otherwise I used to color my pictures with a mouse before hahah, I used Photoshop's pen tool ^^
