Description I removed this years ago by 'storing' it on Deviantart. Unfortunately I don't know how to access that storehouse[?] so ...3 years later I'm re-uploading this ? LOL

You can kind of tell this is really old.


God this tutorial is wordy and full of typos.

Wow, thank you much for sharing this.
I love your style, especially the watercolor effect. This helps a lot, especially on the brush aspect. Brushes and their settings sometimes make or break the coloring and style. XuX

And that drawing is shamefully cute.
fruit/vegetable peoplez ftw~.

FINISHED PRODUCT IS SO CUTE.

I read another tutorial in which the artist also shaded in grayscale first, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. >___>

But personally I prefer SAI.

8DD It's AWESOME.

Any program really works though. Personally I can't stand photoshop brushes for lineart, the brushes are too blurry and I don't have as much control.

But that can be remedied by scanning in pencil/pen lineart and working from there. :]

There's a download link to a trial english version.

Unfortunately I don't know how to get around paying for it once it expires. -SIGH-

I'm reluctant to cough up $60 >_> even if it's an amazing program.

Such cute characters!! I use similar techniques for some of my coloring, but usually I make the layer "color" instead. "Overlay" gives a more vibrant color, though. C: Thanks for sharing~

You can access the storage by going under "Manage Deviantions" under the menu that you can get to next to your username at the bar on the top of the site.

PochiPops In reply to SilverLupa [2009-05-04 00:09:30 +0000 UTC]

Yay!

Yeah, most people I know use colour and multiply for layering on the colours. I fail at using those two options though OTL

I don't think I'll ever be able to give up my super vibrant colour pallet ;_;

Thanks for telling me ! XD I just unstored it. Except now I have two of the same tutorial in my gallery. Ohohoho. Oh well >_> NO ONE WILL NOTICE.

SilverLupa In reply to PochiPops [2009-05-04 00:52:58 +0000 UTC]

ahahha I've stopped using multiply layers. I've stopped even trying to use multiple layers. ._. I love overlay, too, but lately my colors don't work well with it. WISH I HAD A SUPER VIBRANT COLOR PALLET. *A* Everything turns into pastel!

No prob. LOLL Nice. XDD
