2. Finishing;
3. Final Notes
4. Links out


PART 3: HERE )

I'm done with writing tuts. This exhausted me beyond belief. Please sound the alarm for typos and such. :DDD

ETA: Notes on Shading Techniques; Polishing and Adjustment Layers. Added LJ Links. =.=

ETA2 (4/11/2008). Modified and polished the tut for the newbie-ish.

Somehow, someone recommended this tut to somebody/some people. I plan on x-posting this, but I don't like x-posting without checking typos. Also, I want this to be more user-friendly to a beginner.

Thanks to all the peeps who found this useful (and for those who told me they found it useful: thanks thanks ♥).

MANGA COLORING: PS/CS2 TUTORIAL



1. Preparing Your Base
2. Coloring & Basic Adjustment Layers
3. Making it look pretty

This tutorial is about coloring black and white images / manga, preparations and what you can do to make it look more polished. For the complete Photoshop Newbie, I suggest reading #1 first. For the slightly experienced colorist, you can go directly to #2.

This tutorial does not contain any recipies, textures drama and *cough* complications. You can apply the principles here to all your coloring needs. The guide on Adjustment Layers does not contain any values since it aims to make you learn the principles behind manipulating these layers.

Click on the links above to take you, um, there.

Note: I'm not an artist. I have not taken any formal art training. If you see any boo boos, you're welcome to correct me. Suggestions are welcome, too.


Good Habits; Skip if you know your way around Photoshop )

Coloring Manga without those pesky textures and all those complicated adjustment layers.

Skill-builder tutorial for the beginner in manga coloring.
Photoshop 7, Translatable.
Should at least be knowlegeable in changing Layer Type/Blend and selecting colors.

I made this tutorial for a friend, who is not used at coloring manga. Very EASY STUFF. Very Wordy because I like to explain WHY. All tutorials should explain principles
