Description
This is a tutorial on my basic colouring method, which being the bare basics, doesn't involve as much brushing as I actually do. Everything else though simply involve using brushes, so the principle behind it remains the same. Of course, being done for a tutorial, the original lineart was very simple and the colouring is very basic.This is of course the method I use, so other people who've used photoshop much longer than I have will no doubt have different methods which are better. This is simply the method I'm most comfortable with at the moment.
If people wants to I can upload the lineart I use for this, but I think there's enough linearts floating around DA already.
Software: Photoshop CS

Nope, afraid not. Practice and learning a little bit colour theory, I guess. There's no such things as a rule in colour selection.

hi, i confess i haven't read the other replies but isn't that the 'lock transparent pixels' button rather than the 'lock opacity' button. It's just that if someone is trying to use your tutorial with another package like OpenCanvas then they can still use the same methods as it's got a lock transparency function too.
Either way great tutorial can't wait for the remaining three parts.

Yeah, I'm sure most people would've worked it out themselves. If not then they probably wouldn't know what I'm talking about anyway

o.o ...What if you have Photoshop 3.0? O.o Would this apply?

It should, the layout of the software may differ but all the functions that are here should be present.
