Description
Part two of the Adobe Photshop Elements 2.0 tutorials! ^^Being the genius that I am, I saved over my old file that I used to do the line-art tutorial, and for this one, I used the line-art from a collaboration with who used my previous tutorial to make her line-art. (BTW she is an AMAZING artist. Go visit her gallery)
This is a tutorial, meaning use the concepts, but not the art from it. Remember: there are many variations of how to do things artistically. This isnt the only way.
This tutorial is for ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 2.0 , any other program has no guaratee of same-style.

The layers is the only thing I can't quite get right x-x
Do they need to be put into the finished picture in the end and how do I color the certain parts of the pic in each layer?
That's all I'm confused about (has been coloring it all in one layer x-x)

I use a lot of layers - create a new layer beneath the lines for every new layer of color (i.e. if you have a person, you make one layer for skin, one layer for hair, one layer for pants, one layer for shirt, ect.) usually the more layers you use the better (and easier) the picture will turn out.

It's just combining it onto one page at the end that confuses me ^_^;;

Well its all the same file, but to make it all the same thing, you just save it as a JPEG, which makes it all into one layer, and suitable for uploading to the site.

Yes, though since I've made this tutorial, I've found a more efficent way to color!
Use the lasso selection tool, then go to "select" > "Inverse" then "Select > contract -- and decide how much you want to contract the selected area.
To do this you need to make sure the outer lines connect so that there isnt any spot in the drawing that opens to the rest of it (like this griffen, it's completley enclosed, my tiger from part 1 is not).
Btw thank you so much for your faves
