Digital Coloring Tutorial pt.2

Published:

Description

Many people have asked me how I color my characters, and now I've decided enough's enough! I've decided to update my coloring tutorial. So here, ladies and gentlemen, is my new and improved DIGITAL COLORING TUTORIAL!!! **Taa-da-daa-da-da-da-DAA!** X3
This tutorial will be in three parts. Also for these tutorials, I'll be using :iconpuritylf4:'s Becky the Hedgehog for the whole demonstration! Let's give her a round of applause! :clap: :heart:

This second part will deal with adding in the shadow layers, including additional soft-shade layers that will make your artwork stand out, much like in the traditional style that :iconbleedman: features in his gallery. In fact, it was his style that inspired me to create this style in the first place, so please give him credit for outstanding work! :3
Again, this is meant for mouse user. Tablet users are welcomed, though.

The file is 900x16440 pixels, and is over 3.3 MBs. This is available in zip file format, since I can't seem to get the file itself to upload - it seems that DA have problems with files with dimensions over 12000 pixels, so that's why it's in a zip file. ^^;
Now all you have to is RIGHT-CLICK on the "DOWNLOAD" button and go to "SAVE TARGET AS..." Once you have it saved, RIGHT-CLICK on the zip file and go to "Extract to folder..." You se should find the large jpeg in there.

I hope this tutorial helps you all out with understanding how to draw and color in my style. If you have any questions, just note me, or e-mail me at chrisrgay@yahoo.com.

This tutorial is really helpful. Thank you so much for making this!

 

I have a one question though, how do you get to having a fuzzy brush?  (Step 7, Tutorial Part 2)
