Description

A lot of people have been wondering how I make my coloring so soft and light, and why it takes as little as a half to do it.

Here's why.

(It's a basic tutorial. Not meant to wow anyone, just to answer some questions and give ideas.)

Let me know if you used it!

Very nice tutorial! I tried colouring like this once, it didn't work all too well. But this may help me a bit I'm also thinking of experimenting with filters, as I find that they make some pictures look cool. So far I know about grain and cloud.

Thanks again!
