Description Aki from the future edit: ...Wow, this is so crappy, I am so sorry. XD I'll make a new one soon.

Aki in the future here, This tutorial is very outdated. I created a new one, hopefully a better one for you. XD
You can find it here:  fav.me/dbuvyi2




YES, FINALLY. I made a coloring tutorial! XD
This was kind of rushed, but I hope you'll learn something from it
It's my first time doing a tutorial, so I'm so sorry about errors f there is any OwO;

This tutorial is dedicated to: Buggiboi LordSabado KADS25 EMDignadice479 and all the people who want to learn coloring, AKI STYLE~!

As a summary, basically, all I do (with my coloring style, AKI STYLE~! ) is create a very light base color using the normal or darker shade, top it over some force shading of a lighter shade, and add the other shadings.
I create base colors so that when I make solid colors, I won't see any white spots. Aren't white spots annoying when you color? That's why I decided to put an end to it! XD

Just a little advice though. Don't be too harsh on the paper when you create solid colors, okay? You'll ruin your precious paper if you do. XD

This tutorial is made by me, and only by me. If this works for you, I'll be happy if you tag me on your artwork if you use my coloring style (AKI STYLE~) and show me your work ^^

I hope you enjoy this tutorial. ^^
Tell me if you want me to do another one, and what will it be about. ^-^

Have a nice day~!

If you have any questions, feel free to comment or send me a note! You can also go on and read the comments to see if anyone has already asked and has been answered the exact same question in mind ^^

That's great then! I'm glad it does ^^
Oh my. Don't worry, there's a solution to that! ^-^
While you draw or color, you should put a clean sheet of paper under your hand. That way, it won't affect your drawing

And that is why it sucks to not have different shades of colors

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

TheAwesomeAki-kun In reply to halocrystal99 [2014-01-23 23:54:40 +0000 UTC]

If you don't have much shades, you can have just 2. A light and a normal one, Or a normal one and a dark one. Or if you really don't have anything, use the same color as a base and solid color. ^^ (I do that when I'm too lazy to find another shade XD) The purpose of base colors are just to remove the white spots on the areas you color after all.
Using a darker or a lighter shade as a base color can create a little bit of different shade after you apply solid color to it. Just experiment on it until you get it right~ ^-^

TheAwesomeAki-kun In reply to halocrystal99 [2014-01-24 00:08:58 +0000 UTC]

Just by myself. XD
I learned everything I know by myself, because I'm always alone.

Yes it's true O^O
And I only started coloring my works last...August I think XD I was so pissed off on why there were so many white spots on the colored areas so I tried lots of things until I learned this ^^ I learn everything I know from drawing and coloring because of my loneliness XD
