Description A small tutorial I did for friends of mine to help them :>
*I used in this tutorial Paint tool sai*

Steps to help you understand better

Step 1:
Base color.
Step 2:
Using the marker tool on the same layer with a darker color making strokes as the red line shows.
Step 3:
Same as before only with darker color.
Step 4:
With the base color doing strokes outside as the red line shows.
Step 5:
Same as the step before only with a lighter color.
Step 6:
With a brighter color making a circle and with water tool blending it only down.
Step 7:
Using brighter color doing making lines in the directions as shown in red.
Step 8:
Using white making lines as shown in red.
Step: 9
On a new layer draw few bangs of hair and shade them a little to make them look more "alive".

   You have a amazing gorgeous style *v* it's just the simply and shiny style that i want/dream to have (i don't like those ''realistic'' ones ;-; and not too simply style with 2 colors xD )  ;w; hope one day i became good like youuu        

Ps: i dont want to stole your style, some people became angry with this :/

Saberbliss In reply to JULYE-sama [2016-10-17 20:39:38 +0000 UTC]

I don't take it as stealing my style because it's not; yes it's better to have your own original style, but i doubt that you'd ever have the exact same style as me and you'd adapt from time to time, it's really all about what makes you happy :3
Thank you for the compliments:3

This is absolutely amazing. I'll be trying to replicate this in CSP, but it seems like I'll have to do a lot of messing about.

KoIzumi24 [2014-04-18 12:33:12 +0000 UTC]

question: are all the tools on default settings or you use your own? If you used your own please post your settings for said tools. Thanks!

thanks it was REAAALLY useful, specially because I'm drawing by first time anime style at computer.

The result I had was not the same because I used the airbrush and some blurr, but it ended in a really good way

HeadofRed In reply to BlackKitty68 [2013-08-28 21:07:44 +0000 UTC]

Lol! did you do that one? And also, this is close, but this red is a bit more orangy and the red for my ocs is more pink/purpleish, you know what I mean?

BlackKitty68 In reply to HeadofRed [2013-08-29 10:32:55 +0000 UTC]

7th step was the best step.
8th and 9th are... Too strange x-x Look like chibi/plastic.
