lolsob actually I don’t use PS to color at all…. I use SAI mainly haha

idk how to explain but I think the trick lies on the pressure you apply on your hand when you draw the stroke, control your hand movement and see when you do light stroke when to do heavy stroke??? but hopefully this helps lolsob TwT

Here’s my SAI brush settings, and a speed-painting of Mercury for brush-use examples. 

edit: the blurred out edge effect is done like this:

I have briefly gone over how I get my lines crisp over here, and what programs I use here.  Drawing bigger is usually the best way to hid shaky lines.  If you zoomed in some of my bigger pieces you’ll see a bit of shakiness in my lines.

I once tried to make a tutorial of how I get my colors, but it became kinda hard and many other artists have already covered it way better than I ever could.  I’ll just share you a quick idea of my own process through my shitty Photoshop program Elements 6.0.

Over here I made an arrangement of some colors and only adjusted the brightness of them.  They look kinda dull.  The browner tones look the dullest.  Dull isn’t always a bad thing though.  It can really make some other colors pop!

Below we have the same center colors from above, but for some reason, they don’t look so dull.

How could this be?  The darker and lighter colors are actually a different tone of color!  Some of them are slightly duller to make the the other color stand out.  I tend to make lighter tones more warmer and darker tones more cooler.

Below are a series of lazy steps of how I get the color pink it’s shade and hi-light.

Below is a collection of saved colors I have in my Firealpaca.  It really does come in handy for me.  These colors really do inspire me.

Finally, I’ll leave these color reference/tutorials/resource links here that demonstrate things better.

Hey, if you don’t mind sharing, I’ve always wondered how you got that soft celling look on your characters in your comic. Any tips? I’m currently working on my own comic and I kind of want to go for a less harsh form of cell shading. Thanks!

A couple people have asked about the way I color things and I’ve been meaning to post a tutorial on it :]. I’ve never been too good at describing my process, but I hope this helps!

AT LAST HE REVEALS HIS SECRETS!! Or one of them~ I struggle a lot with cel-shading.  This was an extrememly helpful tutorial!! Now I just wish I could learn how you render water, Blue-Ten, because GOSH do you do it well!

I know how to do this already, but sharing is always nice. :B
