this tutorial was friggin great! as said before, the music is awesome and you know what youre talking about.

i do have a request though...while this is NOT a complaint or anything of negative nature...u kinda skipped the part where you actually colored senjougahara...could you make a tutorial on coloring anime? i swear you'd be the first on youtube who could do it right i guess, i cant find ANY good ones on here.lol.

anyways..great tut. man! keep it up

@l0stan0n that's actually not a bad idea. I know I only described it in these videos, so having a visual to complement that could be cool. Might consider doing it in the near future if I can find some time.

I've seen this on imouto/Konachan! Excellent choice of music. I always used lolPhotoshop for my vectors even though I knew I should have been using Illustrator. Keep up the good work, hope you are still making some!

I learnt alot of this and the links to the other tutorials look pretty good too, do you do any original anime

@ryofulance

Nope, I just trace screencaps mostly. I'm rubbish at traditional drawing. :P

I bought myself a graphics tablet as the last couple of years ive been putting my art on pc and fixing it up in photoshop, I got some great results but it took forever with a mouse, the tablet turned out to be great, my art took off into a colour filled world, my pictures and characters came to life and now with this tutorial my art is professional thanks alot it really did help me, i was an illustrator virgin before watching but knew enough from photoshop which helped, thanks again

Yea, it takes a bit of practice with the mouse, it still take me ages to get some lines right when I trace. Worth it in the end though. :)
