As I am becoming old and must pass my knowledge to the new generations, I wrote this little 29 pages long scripture trying to describe in details my coloring technique - finally a Flash version for DA :3 Though I avoided going into details such as light color variations, backgrounds and texturing. I must accentuate that this is NOT a tutorial, this is a description of the possibilities and you'd probably have to read this lecture several times and make sure you don't skip anything. Also I must say that this scripture is NOT entertainment. The actual entertainment will begin only after you eventually master this technique A collection of artworks created using (more or less) this technique can be found here! :3 Edit: More than 2 years passed since the Coloring Technique tutorial was published and now I sadly don't have enough time to update the collection or support this tutorial. Sorry. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Q: Will this tutorial work for Photoshop Elements? A: Reportedly, yes. People mentioned that it works in Photoshop Elements 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0, so it should work in 6.0 and later as well. Q: There's no Select > Load Selection... in the menu in Photoshop Elements. A: You know when you have the lineart black'n'white on one single layer, not separated yet, try to Select > All, then go to Edit > Define Brush Preset, click OK to save it, then select brush tool, right-click on the canvas and select the last brush on the list, it should be your lineart converted into a brush stamp. Now just create a new layer and stamp your lineart onto it. To change its color, right-click on the layer in the Layers panel, select Blending Options... then find Color Overlay on the left and select it, there you can choose a color for your lineart :3 Q: Where is the Burn Tool? A: To find the Burn Tool press Shift+O multiple times to rotate the tools until the hand icon appears. I'm not sure what that hand was actually supposed to do in the designer's mind 9_9 but yeah, it's the burn tool. To quickly select it again, simply press O. Q: Where is the Smudge Tool? A: To find the Smudge Tool press Shift+R multiple times to rotate the tools until the pointing hand appears. To quickly select it again, simply press R. (Copying-'n'-pasting rocks :3) Q: How can I clean up my sketch/lineart? A: Sorry, in this tutorial I assume that you already have a clean lineart somehow :3 I have no experience in cleaning up sketches because I don't draw on paper, myself. But try using the search bar on deviantART to find the tutorial that might help you. If something doesn't want to work 1. Re-read the text from the beginning without skipping anything. Most people who had problems with this tutorial, they actually just skipped this or that important part! If you get stuck in the beginning, try to perform these steps exactly: 1. Layer > Flatten Image 2. Make sure you use Photoshop 8.0 (aka CS) at least. Photoshop Elements 4.0 and higher should also work, although I haven't tested that myself. In Photoshop Elements the menus are probably a bit different, though. 3. Photoshop has a nice help system with a searching engine, so whichever isn't working, just press F1 and use Search, e.g. if you don't understand gradient maps, just type in "gradient maps" and read the articles -- the help section is designed to be user-friendly. Daily DeviationGiven 2008-07-03Coloring technique by *yuni is an amazing flash presentation describing in detail her coloring techniques that she wishes to pass on to the future digital artists. I found her presentation to be incredibly useful. She has even put together a gallery showing artist's work using her technique. (Suggested by ~Peekajinx and Featured by ^znow-white) |

I feel like God or something.
I hate Photoshop, but, in case you care to know, this tutorial can fairly be converted to Paintshop, if you're familiar with both programs.
I love that this tutorial has been seperated into pages, rather than squishing everything onto one terrifyingly long rectangle.
I also love that your coloring technique is like nothing I've ever seen before. I was wondering why your colors looked so different from everybody else's and now I know... your coloring process is so different from everybody else's. It's a good thing.

The greatest reward is not JUST watching those who are already great, but watching those who are just starting out and watching them, helping them grow. That is true satisfaction.
So, please, use constructive critcism.
