Description Insight into the very basics of how I often colour, designed for beginners, but with what I hope to be helpful information for everyone... except for those really awesome people who already know everything... CURSE YOU! *LOL*

Anyways, hope this is useful - I had a few people wanting me to make a colouring tutorial, so here it is.

Block, Multiply, Screen!

Wow you are really talented...I always seem to have a hard time painting with the mouse in my PaintShopPro...the mouse sometime jerks around and its really difficult to draw nice lines and basic shapes....however I prefer to paint in reallife, using an actual brush and the likes...but thanks for this tutorial, Im going to try it out..;) (Wink)

*nods* Painting with the mouse can be annoying, but it's possible to do great stuff with it nonetheless. I used to use low opacities to paint with mouse, but now I use low air pressure with air brush - it would work with mouse, too, though Nod

Hehe, well, I gave alternatives for people who don't have tablets. You can try using low pressure airbrush, but you can also try using low opacity. Nod

It's not a secret *LOL* Lots of people use this technique. I just was trying to elucidate the fact to people who might not know how simple it is.

daniiidaniii In reply to jocarra [2005-07-19 02:10:09 +0000 UTC]

It's a secret, don't you tell me it isn't!! XD

It's pretty simple, but I'm Photoshop ignorant so I shade by usign a dark purple/dark blue brush on low oppcaity and layering it.
