Description Ok, so I made a progression tutorial-ish thing rather than an actual tutorial because I... really suck at explaining.

Downloading for full view is available.

I hope this is somewhat useful to someone in the world. I am sorry for being so..unspecific!

Well, I guess I'll have to find out. |D

You can try for photoshop. But if you're in photoshop you may want to try the dodge tool or layer masks. I only developed the coloring style that I did because I was trying to create a dodge/burn effect xDD

This is so helpful! : DDD

I myself usually stop around "cell shade w/ non-saturated colors"...

--I'm not sure what you mean by "brightness/contrast" in the 5th step. I found the menu, but none of its options do anything like what your example looks like! I'm basically putting each step on a different layer, do you think that's the problem?

That may be the problem. c:
There should generally be;(for all the steps before add layer for overlay)
-Lineart
-hair
-clothes
-skin
You adjust the brightness/contrast/color deepen for each of those layers separately. In the tutorial step that you are looking at I was on the skin layer adjusting it by itself. It should look a little ghosty and and brightness bar should be less than the other too bars but not below 0. Some of the lightest bits should seem /almost/ white. It usually is too white, and so I color pick the darkest of the like colors(like if it were the skin you are working on, then color pick a shadow-y area of the skin) and air brush it lightly over the excessively bright parts.

Hope this helps! You can ask me anytime if you get stuck on anything. : D

If that didn't help, the other thing I think you may have meant was if I adjusted all three bars in the brightness/contrast menu? D: I did. I kind of said something about that in the mass of text above but I just now interpreted what you said differently. ^^ ;
