Description
Ok, this is my first time making a tutorial, so I know it's not very good...and I bet there are a lot of grammar mistakes in there as well...x_xAnyways, this is mainly for who is such an awesome friend for lending me Photoshop CS2!^^ It's my way of repaying him since he asked me about coloring. I hope it helps John! and I hope other people find this tutorial useful as well! I tried my best
If there are any questions, please feel free to post a comment, and I'll answer them to the best of my ability! Thank you!

she is? lol! i don't watch kim possible, but i guess the long red hair might make them similar? haha~ this girl is actually an original character and well, she went through a lot of changes over the years so she doesn't look like what she does in this tutorial anymore XD;

This tutorial is the greatest one I have come across so far. I have learned so much more about photoshop in 5 minutes from this than in an hour from some of the others I've tried. Your arrows and directions on where the tools are is so, so, so, SO helpful. I never would've have thought that a practice CG could come out this good for me.
I am so thankful for this.

I'm glad to hear my tutorial was that helpful to you

So far it's been the only one that has actually taught me anything remotely useful.
The arrows and circles were a key part in it, and I'm happy it was typed out with clear diction. Too many tutorial makers assume that everyone who uses photoshop is a wizard at it, and they just say "Oh, get the smudge tool and go do blah blah blah" XD

The tutorial is really helpful.
This may sound a really dumb question but what's the difference between Flow and Opacity?

good tutorial! but when I zoom in the view gets pixelated... how do you keep it sharp and stuff?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's natural for your image to become a bit pixelated when you zoom in if your original image size is fairly small. I actually recommend working in a larger image size (300-600 dpi) to begin with, so you don't need to zoom in at all

I have a question:
When saving the image into a JPEG file, the image color's become distorted, and it doesn't look good as in the PSD, am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Huh...I'm sorry, I'm not too sure why that is since it's never happened to me before. Perhaps it has something to do with after you flatten all your layers to save it as a jpeg image, or maybe something to do with the amount of quality in the image. Sorry I'm not much help

its ok, I never flatten my image... maybe that's it...

i have photoshop cs2 but i have no idea how to use it...this probably will help alot though! can i borrow the lineart to practice on?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh go right ahead, heh! As long as you remember to source it back to me if you post it somewhere or something
Good luck! It just takes practice, heh!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ok! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh...how stupid of me XD; I don't think you can actually use the lineart then because the one in the tutorial is way too small, and no longer have the original file anymore.......>__>" Sorry! heh

I need help bad! When I save a JPEG on Photoshop it makes the pic 2-3 shades darker than it actually is, anyway to correct this? THANKS!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm sorry, but that has never happened to me before, so I'm not too sure what the problem is...perhaps there's something wrong under your image properties?? Sorry for not being of much help, heh

I think this is an excellent tutorial. One thing I've really wanted to know, though, is how other artists seem to have an instinctive eye for skin tones, color schemes, etc. If you reply to this, I have this to ask you - how is it done? Can everyone envision the mood and instantly select the colors? I save certain deviations I come across, not to distribute, post on other sites, or anything like that, but just to tab bunches of colors off and create palettes...otherwise, I don't really have a clue how skin tones or color schemes are chosen.

Thank you for the comment^^
Er...as for skin tones and color schemes, I think many artists have spent a lot of time going through reference images and other artworks to figure them out themselves (I know I have), and after much practice, it just because easier and more instinctive for them~ 
Ehehe I hope that helped..I'm not too good at explaining
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe, thanks for replying. I guess it is common sense for the color schemes and skin tones, and there is no easy way out of it.

I think more could have been done with the hair.
