I give in. 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.
* Seriously, seriously, I didn't use the pen tool in any of this. Apparently people have been telling me I have a very steady hand for outlining. ^-^; The only tip I can give is to make quick lines when you're outlining. You'll have a more steady hand with practice, trust me~ =]

Wow, this is great! I've seen other tutorials on gradient shading, but the details in this were really helpful. I'd like to try it sometime. Thanks for putting this together :)

The gradient shading was very helpful. It's a whole lot easier than trying to keep smudging for it to blend. >>;

Nicely done tutorial :nod:

This is a great tutorial =D, do you think it would work with Photoshop Elements 3.0?
