It usually depends on what effect you're going for. For the base colors, I always leave it on Normal, but for special effects like texturing, I use Overlay or Soft Light. To brighten up a layer I might duplicate it and set it to Color Dodge. To add glowy highlights I make a layer above the ink and set it to Screen and paint on it.
Wow Thanks man..really learned a lot from your tutorials. This is the first time im trying to color using PS and man i was lucky to stumble in to your channel..thanks again. great work.
Great tutorials. feels a little too descriptive, but then again I guess you want this to help those totally new to photoshop aswell. Thanks. I'll be using your coloring tutorials quite a bit :D
dude use the dodge tool, and the burn tool for shading it is a hell of a lot easier, the dodge tool lightens the pixels, and the burn tool, well burns the pixels.

how did you draw that , in paper and used digital table , or draw directly with mouse or table?
darkr70 1 year ago
@darkr70 I draw it on paper, then use tracing paper to do an inked version. I scan that in and then color it with a Wacom Bamboo tablet.

When you make new layers, do you ever use the Multiply mode, or do you stay with Normal each time?

The dodge and burn tools are quite difficult to use effectively and have a much less appealing finish. So far his style is working wonders for me.
