Description
WARNING! Its a big file!FULL VIEW TO VIEW THE TUTORIAL!!!
This is the second part of my tutorial. It covers Cell shading 8D At last!
Since some of you asked in the last tutorial (and as I said before <.< ) I did this in Open Canvas, but I am pretty sure that, even though the options and names are different, It can work in other programs.
I hope you enjoy and you find it helpful!!
*If you have questions, leave them here. However, if your answer is actually answered in the tutorial, I will ignore your question (sorry if I sound mean, but some of you guys need to read more carefully)*

Okay, so here's my question, can this type of shading be done effectively with a mouse? Do you achieve your 'unshaky' lines by using a tablet?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes you can. It can take a little more practice, but you can. I myself used to cell shade with mouse with no problem and nowadays I still do from time to time.

Whne you say the color of the shading should also go with the enviorment, how do you go about making sure the colors dont look weird? Like if your background is purple, but you dont want to shade directly with purple. How do you know what color to use? I cant get the hang of it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What a hard question. I myself just do it assuming what colour would look better and just trying a few tones of the colour until I get the look I want. I learnt how to do it better as I practiced so I dont really know if there is an exact method or trick to follow to get the correct shade. I will do a little research to see if there is another faster way to do it (cause I wanna know too) and then I can tell you if you want :3

How do you make the layer gray just by making a layer?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You create a layer and you just fill it with a gray colour.

It didnt work for me. . . Probably cause I have Photoshop rather than Open Canvas. . . 
I tried to get Open Canvas once but It is for a Windows and I have a Mac. . .

Good tutorial! Although there are already loads of cellshading tutorials, this one puts some easier overlooked things in the spotlight. Like the use of 'triangles', this is something that is pretty important wih cellshading (in my opinion atleast) yet most tutorials don't mention it. Anyway, great job!
Also I noticed you still use an old version of opencanvas, in case you want v4.03 you can get it here . Yay for openCanvas users!

Aaaaah! Are you serious??? Do you know how long I've been looking for this darn program (cuz I dun wanna pay for it 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahaha, well I would gladly pay for it to be honest. It's just that I have no method of doing so (No credit-card and such). It's just such a great program that the developers deserve the money. Anyway, it's not like i'm against piracy 
Spread the OpenCanvas love!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yes, that's why I was considering it, but I never used the program before, so I wasn't sure it'd be that great, so I didn't want to spend money on something which I might not like (I am very happy with photoshop, so if oC isn't better, it'd be a waste of money), but oC is very nice. I'm stille getting used to it though. Hehe 
But thanks again for the link!

The 'Try before you buy' method has saved me alot of money already
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe, yeah. did they have a trial?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I didn't mean the use of a trial, but yeah they do have one. I actually meant first downloading the full program and then if you really like it, buy it (It's nice to have originals). That way developers will also have to try their best to create a really good program instead of releasing sloppy stuff 
Let's just say I love piracy, but I am willing to pay for a program if it's actually good and not way too expensive for a normal person to purchase.

Ah! Thank you very much! I am glad to get my hard work appreciated
And also thanks a lot for the link!

Haha, so do I. It's amazing how many features it has for it's small size.

The program used was openCanvas, not Photoshop. Anyway, you can get openCanvas 4.03 here .

oh sorry i didnt know
thank you i downloaded it

No problem
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah its great --there is so much to do on the little computer program lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it has so many features for it's size. The main thing that separates it from Photoshop is the lack of an extensive archive of filters. But I don't specificly like PS's filters anyway. Besides Photoshop doesn't have things like event files. Both programs have their pro's and cons though, just that oC is so much smaller in size and yet it still achieves so much ^^.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! I needed this so badly. ;o;

I know you said you did this in OpenCanvas, but I was wondering did you use a tablet? Or is this for mouse users? o-o; Anyway, thank you so much for teaching how to cell shade in OC...I always wanted to learn how to color something in it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I did use tablet. It has some little things just for tablet users (like toggling off the pressure of the pen.) but the main steps of the tutorial are meant to be for both, tablet and mouse users.
