hi i made a tutorial! well, it's not actually a technique i developed myself, Angelo told me he did it this way and i kinda adopted it ^_^ (i hope you don't mind me sharing it). anyway it's v simple, and ideal for Photoshop idiots to learn (like me!) when having trouble with CG (hi shoti! ehehe..). enjoy!

STEP ONE:
of course after resizing, cleaning and trimming/cropping your image, you're ready to color. now, since the layer your lineart is on is locked (look, there's that little lock on the side?) you have to duplicate it so it's unlocked; it has to be coz we needs to moves it, yes. (i'll call it BG Layer Copy, coz that's the default. and at this point you can delete the original BG Layer, but i just forgot to that's why it's still there.

STEP TWO:
this is what makes everything so easy make the BG Layer Copy on MULTIPLY. and like magic, all the white parts will be transparent-like wow!

STEP THREE
now we color this is the fun part, and you don't even need a tablet much; you can color outside the lines like a silly wench if you want. all color layers go underneath the BG Layer Copy btw.

STEP FOUR:
and after you clean up your silly-wenchlike coloring, you're done see, so easy.

to make it easier on your poor wenchy souls, make your lines dark when you ink. the end

oh yeah, finished product please
