Here's my second Step by Step!
Following my last poll results, I tried to show the colouring process and the settings used on each step. Please read the following extra notes for more information, and if you have any question feel free to ask!


A few notes:

Step by Step about Hair: [link]
Obviously I didn't use the same settings on each tool all the time. Opacity variations were made accordingly my personal taste and judgement, as well as the blending and persistence options for the marker tool.
I know a written description about tools is useful but can also be confusing. Unfortunately, I didn't recorded myself while working on this picture, but you can check another video where I used the marker as the main tool for colouring: [link]
I also skipped the eyes on this step by step. Basically, it was the same process as used on this video: [link]

What exactly does the "multiply" tool do? I've seen it used, but I don't know what it does to the lineart.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 2

ikr In reply to lohkk [2012-07-12 19:29:35 +0000 UTC]

'Multiply' is a blending mode used for layers. You can set any layer to Multiply mode in the layer menu C:, if you don't find the option I can send you a screenshot ^^

lohkk In reply to ikr [2012-07-12 19:49:34 +0000 UTC]

Ah! I know where it is, I just never knew what it did xD There are so many options that I don't know the purpose of.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

ikr In reply to lohkk [2012-07-12 20:06:58 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, the best way to see how it works is to draw two overlapping circles of different colours (each one on a separate layer) and then change the upper layer blending mode to Multiply or whatever mode you want to see.

SailorSamusAU In reply to lohkk [2012-07-05 05:26:03 +0000 UTC]

I believe when you go to colour in a picture, setting the lineart to multiply means you can safely colour in the areas you need to without worrying about the lines getting painted over

Hope this helps

IronNarwhal In reply to ??? [2012-06-30 06:34:58 +0000 UTC]

What do lock and overlay mean/do?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

ikr In reply to IronNarwhal [2012-06-30 17:58:46 +0000 UTC]

When you check the Opacity Lock option in the layer menu, transparent pixels will be locked, so you won't be able to colour them. For example, if you lock the lineart layer, everything that is not the lines will be locked (so if you paint over with a brush or any tool, only the lineart will be modified).
Overlay is a layer blending mode, like multiply or screen. It usually makes colours more vibrant, but you should see it by yourself. Make two layers and draw anything on them with different colours. Then set the upper layer mode to Overlay and see how it looks C:
