Photoshop Lineart-Coloring Tutby =Kuitsuku

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Application Reference / Photoshop

This tutorial is also available in French: [link]
and in German: [link]

Tons of people asked me to make a tutorial for line art and coloring in photoshop, so here you go~ =3

A few people have requested a Flash drawing tutorial too, so maybe in the future.

This tutorial was made in Photoshop CS2 but it should work as far down as Photoshop 6. All the tools I used are the same in those versions.

Remember, this tutorial shows the way I color. I'd suggest experimenting with this process until you get a result that's nice and easy for you to do. Add more layers of shading, throw in some lighting, go crazy and come up with a style unique to yourself. ^^

To answer questions a lot have been asking:
* I draw with a Wacom Graphire 4 tablet.
* I didn't use the pen tool in any of this. That's...pretty much the point of the tutorial, to get around spending a lot of time on the pen tool. 8D If you don't have a steady hand or your lineart comes out too wobbly, keep practicing. There's nothing more convenient and time saving than a steady hand in drawing.

I'm going to try this in PhotoShop 7.0 This is all new to me. I've never used software to draw and color.

This TUT is very helpful. But I stuck at the outlines already

.I just got myself an graphic tablet and though I can tell my fineliners goodbye. But its SO hard to do steady outlines with that tablet oO I never thought. The lines are all wobly and shifty and I have troubl following the lines of my actuall sketch T-T.
The rest of this tut I used for coloring only work GREAT ^^ so thank you so much. And Ihope you are right that the hand will become more steady oO

Oh that's really cool!!
I don't have a drawing tablet, which it sucks -_-lll
when I use with the mouse it gives me more trouble. That's why I have to do the longer and old school way to do my drawings which it's not perfect but kind of ok ú_ùU

Hooray! An easy to understand Photoshop tutorial that anyone can use!

There's so many tutorials out there for Photoshop that either are too complicated, or make you feel like you're being talked down to. This doesn't do either of these things; it's easy to understand and it seems anyone can pick it up and do it. Thanks for this tutorial!
