Description (sorry for it being so wordy. xD)

Requirements:
-Adobe Photoshop (any version can be used)

Good lineart tutorial: [link]
That is a GREAT tutorial on how to make nice crisp lines in photoshop. :3 I use it not just on the outline, but inside on the coloring as well.

ALSO! The character within this tutorial is my assassin character, LeMango. Please do not steal him. He is MY character and I wish him to always be mine. If you use this tutorial or any of mine please favorite! It would be nice to know if my tutorials are helping people. <3

what is cell shading anyway

Cell shading is how animation 'cells' used to be shaded. Since it would be too difficult to carry on the blurry shading to each individual cell, animators would simply paint a darker color to represent shadows

Gabriel-loki [2008-12-25 00:25:47 +0000 UTC]

I'm confused as to what you did with the outline part, then the grey. How did you get he outline of the wolf to be filled in when you don't seem to visibly have the outline in the layer.

I have Photoshop 5.5 and when i scan it my hand-drawn sketch in, it immediantly makes a Background layer. How do I make sure it dosen't do that?

Rudely [2008-02-11 15:10:22 +0000 UTC]

This is really very helpful

What exactly do you use for the shading? Just the mouse/graphics tablet with brush? Or do you use the pen tool?
