Description I have been working on this for my Multimedia class. My teacher was really impressed by it too ^^.

I started working on this before My Heart's a Battleground, but put the tutorial on hold to work on my KHII picture.

I made this partly for my good friends that wanted some help on clean line art and such. Hope it is helpful! If there are any complaints tell me right away and I will try to fix them.

Thanks very much for the tutorial! It really helped.
Stupid as it may seem, I never thought to use the polygon lasso tool to shade....

Staying up till late is always how the best drawings/photoshop work is produced.

I was never able to freakn' figure out how the hell to work layers. I would just make a copy of the ENTIRE image and color over that. It's the same for shading. So in case I got so far in shading and it came out horrible, I had to start ALL OVER!

THANK YOU SO FREAKN' MUCH YOU SAVED MY LIFE! *molests you*

Nice technique, I used the polygonal lasso once but I did it on the same layer as the lines cause I was being dumb.
I never thought of using Multiply on my lineart layer! That's a terriffic idea! O.o It saves so much trouble! You won't have to select and delete anything, just keep it white and, it being a multiply layer, it'd be invisable. Sankyuu~. :3

Yes, it helps so much to keep your lineart looking great! That is why I uploaded it.
