Description
edit 4/26/08: holy pig. never have I even dreamed of getting a Daily Dev... thankyouthankyouthankyou so much for this honor ;__;--
If you have questions, please ask. I'll do my best to answer them. (:
If you want to try this and need a sketch (...too lazy to draw your own? XD), you can use one of mine;
cow , angel , ...
If you just want to try to CG, you can use one of my linearts:
(will update as soon as I finish one)
------------------------
Regarding the PEN TOOL - err.. it's kinda hard to explain XD; ..which is why I didn't really explain it. It's like the bezier tool in oekakis or MS Paint -- in a way.
Click once at the starting point of your line, and click and drag in the direction of the line (at the spot you want your line to end). Play with the dragging until you like how the line looks (don't let go of the mouse button!)~ and then do the right click > stroke path thing. Look at this if you can't visualize it...XD [link]
LAYERS - if you're confused about what I meant with the layers, take a look here --> [link] That's the layers palette for the image in the tutorial.

I used your angel sketch thing, I hope you don't mind that I edited it a lot and changed what things were at some places. If you don't like that I did that, I will take it down right away.
Anyways, link is here: [link]

Great tutorial. I can barely sketch so lineart seems a far off step Anyways in [link] I referenced your character from the tutorial. I of course credited you, but if theres a problem I will remove it.

I really have sucked when it comes to shading and adding the different shades of colors. I hope maybe this will help me out. Your final result looks great.

I don't quite understand step 6! i have photoshop CS2 and I don't know if there are some other buttons to click or what but I don't understand what you meean by "coloring outside the lines".
every thing other than that has been a breeze!
THNX!

I've been looking for a way to taper the lines forever. I can't believe that it never occurred to me to use the eraser tool. Thank-you, this was awesome!

how do you know where exactly to shade? I have looked at a few of these tutorials, and I cant seem to get this whole CG/anime style of shading down. I understand how you do it, but I am confused as to how you determine where the shadows and highlights go. Can you explain it to me? I would greatly appreciate it

Powerblade In reply to Sylentstar [2009-05-04 11:12:54 +0000 UTC]
I can give you the answer to that question, too. Basically, before you start shading, you imagine a light source, for example a lightbulb, the sun, etc.
Following the light, you accordingly shade where the shadow falls (or highlights for that matter). It's not that hard, just takes some imagination :3

God, I just learned about Ctr + Click, Ctr + G, Ctr + U... and a ton others. No wonder it took me hours to color something and it didn't look that well.
Was there a Photoshop tutorial you read to learn about this, took a class or something?

Tutorial is very very very very helpful.
This is not the fault of anyone who has created one before,
I HATE PHOTOSHOP - im so jealous. Everyone can make such
pretty pics with it and I still can't do it T-T. I always use paint
(which is so simple its a disgrace the creators ever made it).
Anyway - awesome job on the tutorial
