Description I had so many requests for a tutorial, so here is a step by step process of how I draw the characters in my comics.
As you see, it's rather simple but I hope this will be helpful to you!
And by the way, this is one drawing from my latest Kuroshitsuji comic, like you probably noticed. ^^

Tenshi-no-Hikari In reply to myramiss [2011-01-25 08:30:00 +0000 UTC]

I duuno about one picture because I'm always going all the steps through he whole comic; but a comic usually takes me about 2 days...(yes, I'm slow).

myramiss In reply to Tenshi-no-Hikari [2011-01-25 16:35:19 +0000 UTC]

YoshiLovesAuto In reply to ??? [2011-01-24 01:07:04 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for this! This will be more complex (but look nicer) than my own technique, which is kinda similar but less layers. xD

Tenshi-no-Hikari In reply to fateavernicus [2011-01-23 09:58:28 +0000 UTC]

When you set a layer on "multiply" the colours on that layer will be 'added' to the colours on the layer below. The result is usually a darker colour.

fateavernicus In reply to Tenshi-no-Hikari [2011-01-24 02:47:48 +0000 UTC]

in short.

the colors will make a gradient effect and easy mix right?
