Description woot! alright, thanks everyone for all of your suggestions! i decided to go ahead and mash the screenies into one big long strip of screeny, and resize them down a tad. it dropped the file size a good ways, so here's hoping everything turns out alright!

as for the tutorial itself, im SO hoping its not too confusing ; ;. i'm a horrible teacher, and I had a real mess of a time trying to figure out how to do this, but i think im finally happy with it! anyway, mind the readme, its nothing earth shattering but it's there to be read and it's real quick, and i do hope you enjoy! thank you everyone!

This is a very interesting tutorial. I believe I've learned more in this one than other ones I've read. Just the fact that there are no real steps. Other people suggest you do a base color, shading/highlight, etc.

I've noticed you're doing it almost all in one overall process. Or something like a droplet of water and its completion ripples out. Whatever it touches next is what you move on to and back and forth you go.

Quite an interesting method, and alas, I would have more trouble with this because I'm left-handed and it's not as easy accessing the shortcut keys with my right hand.

well, after the massive lists of commentary upon commentary, hard to believe you have time to make things as awesome as this and read it all lol. But hey, what the heck.

You have an amazing eye for detail and color, I am extremely jealous lol. <3

lol wee ^__^ that looks great!!!!!!!!! what programs can you use to do this besides photoshop lol im working on a tight budget of $0 so.... xDDD

yamikuroi In reply to BreathOfTheSlain [2007-01-05 03:44:11 +0000 UTC]

You could try with some free painting program like The Gimp - the kind of brush she uses here is quite easy to find in other applications
But I highly advise you to buy a tablet if you want to go deep into CGing, especially using this method... and some tablets come with Photoshop Elements, that doesn't have *everything* the full PS has, but has the essential to draw and paint

Eeek, nevermind! I gets it now. I just needed my friend to think for me. I am soooo stupid.

I'm trying this right away, cause yours is like the coloring style I always wanted to have for myself~. (Sorry, me so stealy.) Can you finish this tutorial soon pretty please?

(As you can tell from the comment, the later it gets, the stupider I become!)

nemutai-kunoichi [2006-08-26 18:49:06 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm I downloaded and just don't get it. I can't find the structure in your coloring at all. But since everyone else seems to find it easy, I'm wondering if I'm maybe just stupid...

shirotsuki In reply to nemutai-kunoichi [2006-08-28 21:49:12 +0000 UTC]

i guess its just that there really isn't a structure ^ ^. i color by feel! if i feel like somethings supposed to go somewhere, then i do it!

Hi!

Thanks a great deal for doing this tutorial~ it's very interesting for us (your fans xD) to see how you work. I like this method because you can paint so freely with it. xD

I know you don't mind people using your tutorial as a guide when they colour, since you did post this tut after all, but I thought I'd just give you some head's up in case you'd be interested (or just out of politeness xD), that I've tried to apply the methods here in my newest deviation~

So, thank you very much and I look forward to see more from you! <33

Erm, I'm afraid I don't know what program to open the tutorial with. I've encountered this problem before, where I tried to download something (Tutorials, namely) and then, having no idea of how to read them. XD

Could you please help me? This is probably a stupid and elementary question but... oh well...

*woot!* Base colors, yay! I didn't know you used the base colors on all one layer, but it makes sense, given the "pastel-y" look you get and how softly blended your colors are. Can't wait to see the next part!

chenderson [2006-07-01 22:49:27 +0000 UTC]

That explains a lot about why your images are so lovely soft. When you say "base colours in PS" I was always like "whaaaa!?" because I was thinking big chunks of flat colours, the way I've seen a lot of digital artists do. I should try your method some time, because the "chunky-colour" way has never been any good to me.
