Description Edit: Fixed typos

Some-one asked me how I got the slightly painted look to my pictures. And since It's a little hard to explain simply with text here is a tutorial for her as well as any-one else who feels they'd like to try this out 8) I happened to have a Mikey doodle lying around I wanted to submit but which wasn't really a nice big shaBANG picture, so he was the perfect subject to use for this (Despite the fact that I really wanted to use Raph for this tut.. oh well)

I hope this helps!

This is really helpful! I had a question though. When I merged the adjustment layer with my flat layer, instead of everything staying gray, it reverted back to it's colored form. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

XD This tutorial is old as I no longer use this technique to colour as I became unsatisfied with how my pictures were looking, but it did help me better understand value so it did help me grow I'm so happy to hear it's helping you too! Be careful though because it's very easy for pictures to come out rather dark so just keep an eye on that.

Once again, I'm glad you found it useful

No, but seriously. This is amazing! I love the technique that you used to successfully paint that piece. FOR YEARS, I've always had a problem with the colors, but this is definitely going to help me by a millionfold (however you spell it). Thank you so much for sharing your tips. 8DDDD YOU'RE SO AWESOME. <333
