Description Edit: I think I might have paced the tutorial a little unclearly. The book/mag ends when you close the cover. Not before that. Sorry for placing a conclusion in the middle. ^^'

I misspelled 'Celshading'



Note: This is a pretty big file. Patience please. Also, this is a book. How would you open a book, do you think?

While you're waiting, a preview:

- CG tutorial!
- Celshading tutorial!
- Colouring process!
- Hair highlights, eye colouring and other misc stuff!

Anyway, it's pretty much my entire colouring process. It's not much, but I hope you guys find it helpful.

And since it seems to be the vogue these days, hey, people, if you found this helpful, then by all means, share it to the world. I don't license my stuff under the Creative Commons share alike license for nothing you know.

I'd appreciate it if you let me know/credit me before you go do it though. XD

I didn't think so xD

Only I could have managed that. I think I got over excited by the fact that there wewre pages to turn digitally. I may have started trying to see how fast I could pull them...

Excellent tutorial, though

I really gotta thank you so much for making this! It's really well-done--brilliantly explained, easy-to-follow, very helpful...all around, definitely one of the better colouring tutorials on DA. And that book format is super nifty and cute, too~

Even though I don't have SAI, your technique seriously helped me in the making of this piece ([link] ). Though I still have so much to work on and improve on, I must say that this is certainly the *best* colouring job I've ever done, and it's really all thanks to you ^^

Thank you!
