Description I decided to make a tutorial again! It's how I colour in Photoshop.

It might be a bit confusing with the magic wand tool, but I guarantee you, that step makes colouring SO MUCH EASIER!

So yes, I hope you guys get something out of this tutorial :3

And the lion is Nala, and i'll post the full pic of her sometime soon...once I figure out what BG to slap on.

I followed the steps but after I've done the magic tool it won't let me colour on the colour layer? Sorry if I'm being dumb haha XD

When you're drawing, try moving quickly rather than slowly, quicker strokes make the lines smoother.

Definitely, in fact it works better because then you can pick a colour that's darker than the shading, so the outlines show up.
