haha

My way of coloring has changed dramatically since I made this. I should do a new tutorial.

But before that I should probably do some color pictures to celebrate 800 pages of Hinata.

Huh. It didn't occur to me to color separate light sources... separately. o_o

Thanks for sharing. I'll try this one day.

Wow, I've been doing coloring and shading the hard way... I was doing all of my shading like you do your eyes only I was going two or three steps darker and lighter instead of the one step with your eyes. This tutorial made me facepalm more than once and I can't wait until I finish my current lineart project to try this out. Speaking of lineart, I've seen mention of a lineart tutorial that you keep meaning to do, I can't wait for that to happen so I can see what I can do to improve that aspect as well. Thank you very much for sharing this.

verticalfish In reply to JasonDangerously [2013-07-19 08:49:58 +0000 UTC]

No problem! And I'm working on that lineart tutorial. Hopefully I can add alongside video tutorial with that one!

JasonDangerously In reply to verticalfish [2013-07-19 11:11:06 +0000 UTC]

A video that went along with it would be amazing, I like the layout above but sometimes it's just so much easier to absorb when you actually see it happen. Regardless of actually doing a video with it or not, thank you very much for the effort in improving the community, keep up the great work.

Is the best tutorial I have seen ever, although I don't understand completely, casually you don't have it in a video?

I've got Photoshop Essentials, is that just as good?

šŸ‘: 0 ā©: 2

JasonDangerously In reply to Quoth143 [2013-07-18 12:22:52 +0000 UTC]

I have Photoshop Essentials as well and it's the bare-bones free trial of whatever the newest version of PS is that came with my tablet. I'm not sure how different it is from the full version but if it's anything like the difference between Sketchbook Express and Pro then I'd say you're missing out on a good bit of content.

Quoth143 In reply to JasonDangerously [2013-07-18 16:40:03 +0000 UTC]

I think I'm missing a lot of tools in Essentials and I'd like to get the rest of them if it weren't for the fact that Photoshop is expensive as hell.Ā

JasonDangerously In reply to Quoth143 [2013-07-19 04:54:35 +0000 UTC]

I fully understand, I'm getting the most out of the free versions before I decide on one or the other to upgrade simply because of the cost involved.

Never mind, I just looked and it's Elements I have, sorry about that useless comment.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! YOU ARE A SAINT!

For ages I've been trying to figure out how to do this. It always seems so helpful in getting good contrast in an image as well as simplifying a picture's work load. I've seen so many artists do this but I've never been able to do it right myself.

I love you so much right now. I can't wait to try this out!
