Description This is a thankyou to all my watchers. After 3 years being asked to make a tutorial, it's finally here lol. Yeah a bit late and everyone has probably advanced past this tutorial level, but i hope it helps some artists nevertheless.

I don't enjoy lineart so I'm using this recent one [link] and re-coloring it different from the original.

This is my full process of coloring lineart. I don't always use this process, but these were the same steps i used when coloring the original which can be seen here: [link]

It didn't turn out as well as the original, but i rushed it as much as possible cause i just wanted to focus on the process and it's the 2nd time to color the same thing. This took me about 6 hrs straight to fully write up and color so i apologize for spelling, grammar or just not understandable cause i haven't double-checked.

Feel free to ask questions!

May I ask? Does each of your layers are on a "Multiply" state?

minties In reply to evanlai [2007-05-17 15:25:00 +0000 UTC]

No, sorry i missed that out. Only the lineart layer needs to be set to multiply.

You can also use a multiply layer for adding in shading, but i personally prefer normal. Whatever works for you.

This is great! But just wondering what a pen pressure brush is?

minties In reply to Silver-Raeff [2007-05-17 15:35:34 +0000 UTC]

Its a brush that works with tablets. So when you draw with your pen, it will draw how hard or soft you press with it.
