Description Ok. A friend requested a basic coloring tutorial for coloring Line Art. I whipped this up, but it is a little long!

Because of the flexibility of Photoshop there are many ways in which this can be done. My tutorial shows the method that I choose to perform. Any additions or suggestions are most welcome. If this presents any new information for you, then fantastic! I hope it helps strengthen your skills!

UPDATE: OK..I reduced the resolution significantly to lower the file size. I pray it can still be read. Let me know if you have further issues.

I'm sorry It is the largest file I've uploaded. it's 7MB. So dial up would be painful. Try to just download it directly instead of viewing it. It might be faster.

Yeah, Lisa from fashion-templates provided me with the subject. However, it still covers what I wanted to show.

Whenever I perfect my flesh coloring, that'll be another tut and I call it advanced coloring. Actually, maybe not...I know a million other cool techniques for advancing coloring...
Really I need to work on that Male Tut
