Description Because so many people requested to know how fanta was colored and how I do fur texture.

and actually, fanta's coat wasn't inspired by a himalayan cat's. It was originally sparked into existance by those cool ford mustang colors that were being made circa 2002.

Note: I do no apreciate people stealing fanta's colorscheme and or markings for thier own characters.

did you use the hard air brush/pressure brush? It looks like you did. I tried the tutorial out and I think it's helping me out a little.

You have no idea how long I've been looking for a tutorial that teaches how to do the 'matted' fur like this. I've been pining over it for houuuurs. I'm actually doing a traditional sketch, but this helps nonetheless.
THANKYOU.

this is old, so I used photoshop 7.0 and my newer stuff is on adobe photoshop cs2
there are only a few differences, though.

yes yes very good tutorial..but ihave a question with adobe i need your help

i use adobe photoshop 7...sometimes....but when i do, say i want to use black, it comes out as a grey colour...same with other colours, even my sis whois at university learning how to use adobe says theres something wrong, so how can i make it back to pure colour?

silvermoonfox In reply to horseluver4eva192 [2005-07-14 23:52:11 +0000 UTC]

oh you have it set to below 100% opacity. Select the fill tool and then up at the top there is an option for opacity which you want to slide all the way up to 100. I had that problem too, not long ago.
