[Glory Box]

Finally, the last part ^_^;

This is about coloring. It's not the ultimate tutorial about CG coloring but it shows how do I get certain results and obviously you can use it as a reference to develop your own style.

For this tutorial I'm going to use ADOBE Photoshop 7.0.
Every program that supports layers and multiplying would do, but I personally prefer Photoshop 'cause its brushes are really pretty and easy to use and edit.

And that's it ^_^

--I'm checking my work's schedule. Today I was supposed to work for 9 hours. And it's raining.
LOL.

Anyway, since this morning I feel a little better and I feel kinda guilty 'cause yesterday I went to sleep at 22.00, I decided to work on another commission :D
I'm taking my time 'cause I'm really enjoying drawing it ^_^
So I thought that it would be nice to share with you some kind of drawing tutorial :D
Well, it's mostly a step-by-step making of more than a real tutorial, but I tried to add some tips while showing the various steps... I hope you'll find it interesting ^_^

I'm using my STAEDTLER Noris pencil (2H-4 degree) here ^_^

( Mhhhh, muscles... )

And that's all :D
It's pretty, but also overflowing with details... In the next part we'll ink it, so to emphasize the most important parts ;D !

So, as I told you days ago I tried to colorize some Karin from Naruto, but my PC decided to die, leaving me all bothered and frustrated.
Today I tried again (despite the sempiternal heat >_>) and I decided to convert the experience in some making of/tutorial to share.
I never colorized a manga page, so it's an interesting experience for me too ^_^;; I hope I won't mess with things >_>

Anyway, in this first part I took care of the lineart and the first basic coloring.
For this tutorial I used my happy Paintshop Pro :D *huggles it*

( Here are the first steps-- )
( --And here's a fullshot of the page. )

And that's it. Next time (tomorrow XD ?) we'll turn it in a fancy picture with happy Photoshop :D

You should feel spoiled.
Anyway, here I go with the last part of my HIGHLY useless & unprofessional tutorial.
Last time we stopped at plain coloring and now we'll see how to get a pretty painting effect with shadows and such.
--Sorry again for the Engrish ;_; Ask if you don't understand any step!

( So, let's get started x3 )

--And that's all ^_^ In case you're so brave to use this tutorial feel free to show/link me your works in the comments <3 I'm aways available for further explainations and tips, as usual :3

coral_dana_rose asked and here I go with extremely lazy lame and unprofessional tutorial to cellshade pretty drawings.
As you know I'm a very-very-very lazy person. *It's a metabolism thing!*
So, as an artist who doesn't want to waste her time with brushes, layers and selections I'm used to find quick ways to color and get relatively nice stuff.

For this tutorial I'll use my Paintshop Pro 7.
PSP pretty sucks for paint-looking CG but it's PURE AND TOTAL LOVE for cellshading, pixel art and icons ♥
Speaking of it this tutorial is mostly based on my pixel art skills, so this is my procedure to make dolls applied to CG.

( Anyway, stop chatting and let's go to the tutorial. )

--But the real question is:
"If I'm Italian and Coral is Italian why in the hell I wrote in Engrish D': ?!"
