Comic coloring tutorial

Tutorial that I made for a friend and then later posted publically on DA. A few people told me it was helpful, so I figured I'd post it here as well.

Note: This tutorial is for Photoshop Elements, but it should work with other Photoshop versions as well. Also, this is just how I do my comic pages...there are plenty of techniques out there, so I urge people to look for the ones that fit them best^^.

A couple people were asking about how I do lineart for KO, so I figured I'd post this. It's not all that great and the picture used is horribly old, so I apologize. Also, this is probably nothing new for those who regularly use Photoshop, but for those who are new to PS, I hope this helps

It might just be my computer, but I can't see the picture. It's just a box with a red "X" in it.

There we go. ^^ That's a fantastic tutorial, too! ^^ I might have to make a comic to use it sometime.

Meh...I noticed the image was acting funny too, so I just went ahead and posted the link instead:B.

um... it's a red X for both of the links you posted...

Hmm. Maybe you should upload it to Photobucket or something then use the [img][/img] tabs?

Woah, what version of photoshop do you have ? It looks like 4.0 >_> which is what I have.... Anyway, I'm happy you made this, it looks very simle, a lot easier than what my normal colouring is. BTW: I faved it xDDDDDD

If you read the description it says she uses Photoshop Elements.

Yep, Photoshop Elements 3.0.

Awsome!

I have recently looked at that long comic you posted on your BS gallery and thought it was quite amazing :shock:

You are very talented and make a good comic novel I must say, and an outstanding artist! This tutorial will be a great help to me if I wish to do the same

Thanks!

Yes, I agree with Highland wolf! Very good, and helpful, even though I don't have photoshop... Is there any way to get it for free?
