Description I've got a few requests to make a coloring tutorial!
Iv never made one before so I hope it is understandable >< I have never been too great at explaining things lol (don't even know if this way of coloring is conventional... xD)

This is for PHOTOSHOP! It should apply to all versions for the most part, all versions I have used have been able to do this.
I use CS3 btw, (it's what this was drawn and colored in, as well as what the tutorial was made in)
also I use a wacom Bamboo tablet!

Epic awesome brush settings here: [link]


Let me know if you have any questions~ or comments~

ehh sorry to brother you again XP
but like, I can't find the brush you used. I'm using cs2 right now, and I can't find the brush with that fading effect.
they are all solid lines T-T

that's the settings for the fading brush (have it set to pen pressure and have airbrush and smoothing turned on)

I had those settings...
but the brush still don't look like that...
is it because of the type of brush?
I'm using the one that they came with call "basic"

I really don't know then even if you made it with the basic brush with those settings on it should be working.

May I ask what brand/type of tablet you're using?

I'm not using a tablet O.o
I usually use "Genius" tablet...

I just can't get the icon to look like that....

That probably is the prob then, it's set that way for a tablet. You can't do it with a mouse.

other than that I don't really know. xD

how do you color in the line art?

boys-on-the-radio In reply to ShinigamiAura [2010-02-28 00:16:06 +0000 UTC]

The way I color it is: I lock the layer and color it with the brush tool

This is if the layer is only the lines and is transparent though.

If you have the lineart mutiplyed over the colored layers (like if it has been scanned it will have the white paper background still) you should be able to color it by setting your brush tool to screen. That way it only colors the black parts of your lineart and keeps the white so when you mutiply it its only the lines ^^

I hope that makes sense. @_@

hmm It might be your version of photoshop, or your tablet.
It should work if all your setting are right

I did find this thread for a similar problem in CS2 (seems a few people have had a problem with it XD) so something here might help: [link]
