When you do the skin shading, do you do it with the wand tool or freehand? Also, when you color, do you have separate layers for each part of the picture?

When I do any of the shading, I do it free hand. I usually use the wand tool just to make sure I don't "go past the lines" sort of thing. 
And yes, I have like a million layers that I constantly have to collapse because i tend to make a new layer for each new thing I color/shade. lol

while we are on the topic of skin shading do you use the pencil or the brush tool ?

is it OK if we use this image to practice? Like, coloring the lineart to see if the end result looks like yours?

Very beautiful linework. Very clean and fluid. How long does it take to do a character,(concept,linework,coloring)?
π: 0 β©: 1
Uh I dont know, it depens what kind of character I am making. For the Maledonna girls, for example, I first went and researched as much as I could and I probably spent a solid week on that alone. During that process, I usually have a pretty good idea of what I want to include in their design. After that point it takes me about 8 hours from start to finish

For the blush, where is the rounded gradient tool? I'm having the hardest time finding that one...((can only find linear gradient tool))
π: 0 β©: 1
you open up the linear gradient tool and on the top of the screen is the option for the round gradient

Oh my goodness, thank you! I've already used that little trick in my latest painting. You're amazing, oh fellow Coloradan!

one final queestion what type of program do you use? I have paintshop pro 9. I dunno the dif between mine and others and what is the most commonly used one or best one out there.

hmmmm... see, I guess I havent figured out how multi layers work and all that layer stuf is like. If I can figure that out or know what tool or setting i have to use I would def practice it and and experiment till something gave. But, I def looked at your tutorial and it helps. There are some things here and there I dont get like the layer stuff.

This is really helpful! Do you just draw your lineart straight onto the computer? or do you scan it?
π: 0 β©: 1

If you have created or know any other good tutorials, don't hesitate to add them yourself - that's what a wiki is for.
I plan to periodically go through the most recent tutorial submissions on DeviantArt, but there are simply too many of them to enter myself...
