Description
Continuing on from where we left off in the previous guide (sketches and junk), we move into line, colour and detailing.
This >> << Here is the one-layer colour and shading tutorial I mentioned, and it's the same method I used in this guide, thus skipping out the 'how-to' colouring part of the guide, to shorten it by lots and lots (I'm not a fan of repeating myself all that much, especially when it comes to typing out stuff over and over).
And hopefully, this'll help a few people out too ~

I switch sizes as often as I need to, but it's usually the default hard brush on 5px, going up to about 9px depending on how big the pic is - Hope that helps ~

It does depend on the program you're using, as well as the grain of the parchment pattern, but for my own stuff, I desaturate it, alter the pattern with the levels function (ctrl+L), use the soft light blend mode and play with the opacity until it's not too obnoxious. :'D Hopefully that makes enough sense to follow ~

I cant find a good parchment texture, do you have any recommendations?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Did you try entering "parchment texture free" into Google? Because the first three sites bring up a collective total of over 160 different paper and parchment textures - It's just a matter of finding one with a grain you like.

I've been finding this tutorials amazing and very helpful, thanks a lot! I feel now I'm ready to design my character, though really understood how to give textures to the pictures (especially this paper-like texture used in most WW pictures). Do you know any tutorial or video that can help me in that way?
Great picture, by the way! I loved Trina's sword perspective

I'll be flicking around with layer effects in the last guide thingee, but for the most part, it's a bit of photoshop magic and I can try to explain it here (although I'm not sure it'll be easy to follow without pics, sorry).
Once you've got a huge (and I mean 3000px at least!) pic of a parchment sheet, with a good grain texture that you like, you import it into 'shop, and get ready to mess with it. I usually desaturate the thing first (ctrl/cmnd+shift+U), then go into levels (ctrl/cmnd+L) and move the sliders around to darken the grain, lighten the overall layer a bit. Then I change the blend mode to 'Soft Light' and lower its opacity to anywhere between 40-70% depending on how light or dark the pic is.
The biggest problem is that it's different for everyone, so you'll need to play around with the settings yourself until you get it to a point that you're happy with.

Oh, so it's done by lowering the opacity of a textured picture placed above the layer with our drawing! Thanks, I think I finally understand it!

These guides are extremely helpful. The little details in tweaks in the comments are extremely helpful! I'll definitely be using these for my next WW pic. ;u;
