Character #2 ( Coloring ) - Adobe Photoshop

[IraofAdjura]

I love the eye highlighting technique~ :)

[jejemons]

someday i could be good as you! you inspired me a lot!!

[NectarOfCrazy]

wooow professional

do U use tablet ??

[mylove30591]

Can you show me the tutoring video for coloring?? thanks in advance!!! :)

[AnimeDream23]

Wow that's amazing! You're awesome! I can only come close to that on paper. XD I have an idea of what tools you used to create this as I grew up on Photoshop, I just don't know how to draw like that on it yet. I'm guessing you used a drawing tablet? Cause I can't do it worth squat on a mouse.

[RedReality13]

Can i ask something?

How did you erase the colors without erasing your drawing?

Sorry, i'm new in photoshop.

[AnimeDream23]

@RedReality13 different layers

[aqdesign9]

Bravo sir. Effing amazing.

[Baldoxxx4000]

I avoid anime style, its just not original....

[TXalejando]

You are God!!! Seriously, you just blew my F'ing mind!

[mafjr16]

hey i want to know if you could color my cartoon characters like this or more like afro samurai... drop me a PM

[disneyfashionlover1]

and is adobe photoshop that bad???

[disneyfashionlover1]

as much as i can try it wont come out nothing close to that plus im not patient

[LeAwesomeMoi]

I didn't even blink, watchin' the vid. This is way beyond awesomeness.... I really admire your work!!! You're really talented!!

[vampirehunterXD]

i like how you put the refection of the skyline in his eyes... that's awesome

[rhymeswithbam]

Hi this was soo helpful! I was wondering what brush settings you used for drawing the hair....I was having a really tough time drawing in strands of hair. >.< Thanks~!

[lacrima87]

aesome!!!!!

i'm fascinated :)

[IntenseUproar]

It looks like Marth from Fire Emblem

[MrChillDill]

You are incredible at drawing and at painting. I really wish i stuck with art and developed the artistic talent you have.

[Lexgamer]

for some reason whenever i do gradients i cant change its color, its just black...

[WESKERfromEVIL]

I am not sure are you ok to do this but can you just make a brief tutorial on making the eye shine ? I can't get that. Thanks !

[IsaraiLee]

Gotta ask, how do you get those pressure sensitive brushes for the hair, i for some reason have major trouble doing that even after 6yrs with Photoshop :P (but only a couple months with a graphics tablet)

[Rickygt07]

What do you use to blend soo good ?

[Aichix3]

Holy shit, this is epic. o.o

[AznSkittleKittys]

Your great!!!

[ninjafoxinteractive]

Oh my God!!!

I love how you did the details, It's Perfect.

[djcondra]

PURE TALENT. you are amazing.

[rooftoptile04]

You are absolutely amazing. I subscribed. Would it be a bother to walk me through how you did the reflection in the eyes and hair? I'm not smart enough to know how ;)

[wendywu3315]

im wondering...how did u did the reflection thing in the eyes? and how did u change colors for like the shinig in the hair ad the whole darkening effect at the end and how did u put like this gray thing in the eye?

[cierseruwal]

@wendywu3315 i used HUE and Saturation or press CTRL + U in windows for changing the colors of the hair shines and for the reflection, just drawing a gradient random reflection and lower the opacity down of that layer. :) thanks for watching the vid ^_^

[angel99188]

Amazing ^_^but from wher u are??

[LiaLoveMelody7]

Amazing job!!!! I have so much to learn!

[sakugu130]

i must learn under ur guidance this was by far the best photoshop coloring i've seen

[wisin1]

Shit i wish i could draw like this.

[Jadeypuff11]

holy fudge O.o

He looks so realistic. Are most of those tools on photoshop 5? Because my photoshop is oollllllddddddddddddd.

[cierseruwal]

@Jadeypuff11 I used Photoshop CS3 and CS4 before.. now im using CS5 :)

[LadySwampster]

@cierseruwal I've been told CS4 isn't very compatible with OSX Mac do you know wether CS5 is any better? I thought I might as well ask before buying

[KurdTheNerd]

u used a graphicstablet right? ;)

[cierseruwal]

@KurdTheNerd yup

[Diliun]

This is without a doubt, my favorite movie on youtube. Along with the video where i watch you draw the character.

It's not a joke, this is my favorite movie(s).

I find it amazing how you can color it so smooth and fast, (1½ hour is fast IMO).

I'm an artist in hand drawing and photoshop too, or, that's what i want to believe i am. I'm horribly though, still trying to improve, and this video will sure help me improve. Thank you for this video, i appreciate it so much.

[MrSanderMJ]

at 4:00 when you started highlighting it looked like you makeuped him :)

[mandoghit02]

you are fucking cool!

[RasuLForreaL]

did u use blur tool and smudge? can u make a guide using these tools pls?

[DropOFbL00D]

o my god... fucking cool 

[vergatul]

long does it take a picture?

[Skeleton5995]

Hmm, I'm wondering exactly how youdid that amazing backlighting. I see in the end you highlighted it with gold and then darkened the other colors, but how exactly did you do it?

[cierseruwal]

@Skeleton5995 you can achieve that by using a gradient tool and brush tool.. Its quite hard for me to explain it in words :(

[Nastimify]

It sort of looks like Light from Death Note... AWESOME!!!

[Habohuger]

Could you do a tutorial on how to color your images? Like all the tools and stuff that you use. It would be really helpful and I would love to know how you do it. :)

[Tu51ndBl4d3]

what kind of tablet and how do u make the hair so stringy?

[Diabl0Pabl0]

what kind of tablet do you use?

[Philaphonophist]

You have so much talent! Do you sell tops and background downloads?

[TheRisingTied]

i love this picture..

[bmthxbfmvxwtk]

How did you do that shine affect on his eyes?

[Pinkster40K]

how did you turn the light grey lines on the hair brown?

[maribia96]

stunning!

[lnfk]

Beautiful 

[KillaTequilla83]

lol nice I like the transformation from anime to a more realistic intermediate.

[GrlwhoKnowSummat]

hooooooo, this makes me wish i had photoshop :P

[Hiromu656]

amazing effects on the eyes.

[Andracabu]

woooooooow

[Andracabu]

[mjbdisaster]

[glittertesupper]

hey I wonder what for kinda brush you use for the hair !!! i seek that one for weeks hope you can help me Thanks

~Glitter

[SkotDaSkyLord]

you should make a tutorial on what tools you use on photoshop to do this stuff, its amazing and inspired me to want to get to your level of drawing :D

[shekoelanteko]

Absolutely amazing.

Keep going, mate.

[st0peter]

what opacity do you use when you shade?

[MrCrazyTao]

that was awesome, it kinda look like another version of Gaara from Naruto Shippuuden or one of the sand shinobi lol...

[tyahtyah]

can you share your brush setting to make such awesome hair please? :)

[Rulytasho]

This is Really a Great Pic!!!

but I guess using color on the lips, you know a natural pink can it be a little more realistic... what do you think? have you ever tried???

[halasnamin]

is he using stylus pad??



[halasnamin]

is he using stylus pad??

[HellsingLover51]

1 word WOW

[MenosFirebane]

wow, this is truly amazing! your parents must be so proud of you! :D lol

[MWCQL]

wow....this is epic! amazing shading...esp with the eyes and the light shining behind him!

[DeSmurfen125]

Do you know how you get a sort of wet effect if you color? S: (I don't know how to explain it but sort of like you're coloring with watercolor paint! XD)

[lizade2]

Wah TT;; looks so nice!!

[Hurtlezz233]

im still having a problem about layering. i don't know hot to put my layer downwards D:

[CupcakePiggy]

beautiful painting work.! :D picked up some nice little tricks from this - thanks. ;)

[boyhaster]

are you using a tablet or just a mouse?

[WESKERfromEVIL]

@boyhaster he uses a tablet because it is hard to do this with a mouse.

[matsuharah612]

I guess it's his graduation day?

[matsuharah612]

too bad. there's no LOVE button.

[Jezebel19]

Cool.

[zKrXiTa]

wjhoooaah!... gran trabajo

[persephonexhades]

What version of photoshop are you using?

[bmthxbfmvxwtk]

Did you study art or anything at school or university? You really are an amazing artist, it just seems impossible to be self taught.

[ordomigato]

Lovw all your pics <3 I was woundering if you ever had to learn how to draw real people?

[ryndon8803]

what layer propeties do you use??is it multiply?

[KatieBeBoss]

Good job! :D

[ImORtalRAin718]

Wow, you're such an amazing artist...This inspired me! =D

[Dcavolli]

only flaw is that the nose is tooo thin

[matsuharah612]

@Dcavolli Some may not see it as a flaw, remembering that every person has a unique characteristic.

[ShoeMage]

Did you use the burn tool for the shading on the face? Or just a darker colour?

[cierseruwal]

@ShoeMage I don't usually use burn tool, I just choose a darker color using the brush tool :D

[BrokenWingsKai]

@cierseruwal your a very helpful artist :) hope all the best, do you have a deviantart?

[ZeroTheRaptar]

@cierseruwal

What USB Pen Tablet do you use?

[Micdades]

Do you use lots of layers or just the one?

[onizukademongto]

@Micdades You can use one layer if you want, but it'll defeat the whole point of using Photoshop. Not saying you should use layers for everything, but it'll definitely make your life very very very easy if you use layers for everything. Granted it might give you a lot, but when you have to go back and change something you'll be thankful!

Oh and save regularly! SAVE SAVE SAVE! dunno how many times I had to do the same section again because it crashed and didn't save! :(

[Micdades]

@onizukademongto lol thanks, really help full advice!

[boitahaki]

@Micdades by watching the video I can guarantee he/she used more than one layer

[cierseruwal]

@Micdades some artist just use 1 layer because they are tired of shifting layers (the PRo ones) :D

I used a dozen of layers in this video ^_^

[generaLRager]

Just curious, what canvas size you use for these types of drawings and what pen style/size you use. This is exactly the type of style im trying to achieve but i always end up hating the drawing im doing and just scrap it.

[cierseruwal]

@generaLRager I usually use a canvas size with 3000x2000 + pixels and the brush that I am using is the default brushes which are the hard round brush and the soft round brush..

[Ayuyu91]

I love it how you did the eyes.

[cierseruwal]

@Ayuyu91 thank you _^

[94Gregers]

something happend to my PS. What ever color i choose its black and white... it wont color any colors at all. anyone know how to reset it back?

[cierseruwal]

@94Gregers Maybe you accidentally turn it to grayscale mode.. try going to Image> Mode> RGB

[MusicMyLife40]

I here-by crown you king (or queen ;) ) of anime drawing on photoshop (^-^)

[pandasarehot924]

[cierseruwal]

@pandasarehot924 I'm very glad about that.. thank you too for watching this vid :)

[AnonymouslyUnNamed]

WOW. You are just so good at this. Whenever I try and draw & color in photoshop it ends looking so amateur, so childish. Thanks for posting this up.^^It really helps. Love how you messed with atmospheric lighting of the picture.

[cierseruwal]

@AnonymouslyUnNamed Thanks, you can do this too, it just needs a little practice ^_^

[2DKnight]

Man you rock! I've been drawing my whole life but not this good. I'm all self taught, with little experience coloring and shading. Do you have any tips? I don't have a graphic pen though :(

[cierseruwal]

@2DKnight well, uhmm you should buy a pen tablet if you want to start learning digital arts :) you can do it with the mouse but it's kinda hard and it will take you some time to make one.

[CagedAlchemist]

Dude I would love to know how you did that glassy eye effect!

[xILuvCookiesX]

The people who disliked this video must be super jealous of your pro-ness O_O...

[Gingababe123]

[TailledFox]

[trecklerzzz]

[Chrachen]

I really like how you did the highlight in the eye!

[cierseruwal]

@Chrachen ^_^ thanks

[VincentVindicated]

Hey man I'm getting a pen tablet soon and I can already draw well, I'm just worried about coloring. How did you color over the hair with out it going over it? Please respond.

[cierseruwal]

@VincentVindicated You can do it with layers :)

[Jojodog11]

I just have to ask, what brush settings do you use to do hair?

[cierseruwal]

@Jojodog11 I use a hard round brush size about 1 to 5 px and setting my "shape dynamics" to pen pressure and other dynamics to pen pressure as well.

[Jojodog11]

@cierseruwal ahh thank you

[ryuritanaka]

oh my God. Im in complete awe. @.@ you make it look so easy!!

[OmeJAM]

i was following until 2 minutes...and then i got totally lost LMAO

[MiniSizedPrincess]

Wow, I admire your drawings!

I bet it'll be Cool if you draw a Girl keep on Drawing

[EijiFujiLover]

You are really amazing! Make sure to keep up the good work, no matter how long it takes and hurts your eyes! :D

By the way, I was wondering when you are drawing and/or coloring your characters, how many layers do you normally use? If any at all.

[shivaefrit]

hi as much as i love ur videos, i would just like to ask on how did you trace your drawings like that? it seems it was sketched right trough the monitor. heheh i tried using pen tool, brushes, pencils.. but it comes out bold, and kinda like the art u see wen u use paint! heheh hope you would respond. thank you :D

may i know wat kind of brush is it or wer i can use that tool and how much pixels? hehehe thank you. :D

[cierseruwal]

@shivaefrit Hello, Uhmmm... you can't achieve this kind of brush effect if your using an optical mouse.. you must have a pen tablet in order to sketch right into your photoshop canvas. :)

[TheJazsmin]

[Youtomia]

Incredible!! I LOVE how you did the eyes. Could you perhaps make a tutorial? ó Δ ò

[cierseruwal]

@Youtomia I learned that technique from Neville Page. He has a video tutorial for it.

I dont know if i can make a tutorial with it though...

[Youtomia]

@cierseruwal Ah alright. Thank you. You could just show us the brushes, selections and modes that you use the next time you paint something. =]

And what is Neville Page's Youtube account?

[cierseruwal]

@Youtomia I'm using a hard round brush and soft brush only setting the pen pressure on and off.. ^_^

uhmmmm i don't know if he is here on youtube.. it was a dvd tutorial.

[BrokenHearte]

loved how you did the eyes

[oberlater]

WOW. that is some pritty amazing talent you have there. your style is awesome. Insane!

[mvpeezy]

what brush or tool do u use to blend in your shading
