well PS operates a little more differently than SAI
the blending technique different for one thing. But other than that, it's pretty similar. u can give it a try~

LeonsBlackValkyrie94 [2009-05-05 05:07:25 +0000 UTC]

I'm so glad to have stumbled over this. This is the sort of tutorial I've been looking for! Just what I needed.

Can I ask you a question? Is it really necessary to make a lineart instead of leaving the sketch as it is? I mean, is inking really needed in the process?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

cos22 In reply to LeonsBlackValkyrie94 [2009-06-10 00:54:54 +0000 UTC]

srry for late response orz

i'm glad it is of some help to u~~

well it's really up to u~ lineart makes the pic look cleaner and is easier to color, in terms of using the magic wand tool. It's totally fine to use the sketch~ again, it's personal preference. some ppl like it sketchy lookin, and some ppl like it sharp lookin.

cos22 In reply to thesweetlife [2009-04-17 22:18:40 +0000 UTC]

don't say that~~ u'r just setting urself up for depression D8
just last year, i thought i could NEVER color like (my lovely art buddy) but this year, she said she loves my works ;w;
back then, i wouldn't have even thought i could be the artist i am today~ u've just gotta put effort into it and it WILL pay off!~ u need to be patient with urself, cuz skills don't come overnight! nor will there be a serum for it >w< u can do it if u believe it~~ >w< )b

aww~ u'r so polite~
