My coloring tutorial done of my character Adel.

FAQs

What did you use?
-Photoshop CS2 w/ a Wacom Intuous 3 Tablet.

Why Photoshop?
-I've had bad issues with Painter, Photoshop has a lot more tools and can have a lot of the same custom brushes. Photoshop is not the ultimate best choice, but it works the best for what I want.

Whats with the moles?
-THEY'RE BIRTHMARKS AND FRECKLES.


I can answer anything else if there are any questions.

I have to say, this is probably my favorite tutorial on painting, line work and general composition of characters out there, you cover your entire creative process in a way that's easy to understand, yet your skills are incredible in your finished pieces, which gives readers hope and inspires them because they see that being a great artist is not so out of reach as other tutorials portray it. This tutorial constantly brings me back whenever I'm feeling that I'm not sure what to do! I wish I had had this the other night when I was rushing to get my art project finished, but my internet wasn't working =.=' Anyways thank you so much for creating this tutorial :)

great colouring!

so do you just colour on top of the sketch? Do you keep any lines from the original sketch, or just use it as a base for where to colour?

I usually paint the basic colors underneath the lines, and then do details over the lines, and then go back and touch it up.
