Coloring Hair on openCanvas

[ElBananeroxDD]

usas tableta digitalizadora?

[unit10251]

Since I use Photoshop instead of open canvas, I was wondering what kind of brush settings do you have? It looks soo cool. :$

[xBakayaro]

Ooh, now I get it, just using different layers :3

it really helped ^^ great job! ;)

[Wenndina]

Pen tablet you use?? :))

[Muy1n]

very cool

[keithurban001]

nice job and wat the song?

[IrritableGiraffe]

@keithurban001 Mr. Brightside by The Killers. :>

[singerhsm9000]

u have a bamboo tablet?

[completed7]

whats the song

[megaplatypus]

Mr. Brightside by The Killers

[HannahCOOCKIE]

Su-goi! amazing! good job :D

[sammiegurly1985]

Questions: Did you use your mouse to do this, or a tablet?

And if you used a tablet, where did you get one?

Sorry Im just so new to this.

And the drawing is awsome :)

[Railuien]

You can get a tablet at any of your nearby electronics store. Such as bestbuy.

[heleenjj]

You can buy them in those electronica stored or on the internet.

[HormonalAssKicking]

Its probably a tablet.

You can get them at best buy in the laptop/computer section. the cheapest is around 50$ USD. The most expensive is around 300$ USD.

[ILoveMellophone]

I bought my 8x6 off ebay for $55 USD. Its a Genius Mouspen and I love it. Wacom is also a good brand but the price is higher.

[Crystal0071]

owh.. thats what you bought?..

well i got that.. genius brand..

it came with the pen and the mouse right..?

well to me something anoyying is the pen keeps clicking down.. if you tried..yeah..

I was thinking to get Wacom C4-400

[ILoveMellophone]

Actually, my Genius broke almost right after that comment was posted. I got a Bamboo Pen+Touch for XMAS, and it's the best thing I've ever had. It may be smaller but it gets the job done.

[hmongsrock]

Wow I wonder if you could show a tutorial on how to color already colored hair animes. Or if their's a special trick to it. I can never get the streaks showing after I color the hair. It just looks like a block of colors on top. Help please?

[MissObviously]

I have a question :

How do you change the size of things? Like in Photoshop, you can go ctrl + T and you can adjust the size. :]

[MadiiGORE]

there is a + and a - under the brush size. and two lines that are yellowish. with like a triangel on it. drag it and it changes.

SORRY IF DOESN'T HELP.

if need more information message me.

[MewBlueberryfox]

I got two questions:

1. Whitch version is this?

2. Is it free?

AWSOME!

[franxxxholic]

oh!!! i don´t speak english very good, but:

i love this video, i like your stile!!!!!

it´s nicem:D

[aerox21]

you used airbruhs didn't you?

[VanityPerfection]

Actually I used the water tool :).

[iPanickedTGG]

How do you erase? I have openCanvas4.06 and I cnt figure it out...

[VanityPerfection]

I hope that you already solved the problem, but if you haven't, make sure that you are erasing on correct layer(or the layer that you colored what you want to erase). Also make sure that your brush's opacity is set to 100%.

If you are still having problems, send me a message with a screenshot.

Good Luck!

[xXCrimsonAshStormXx]

oh my godddd i love that song!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MekiyYue]

buena cancion (°w°)b

good song

[NateRiver203]

Where do you get Open Canvas?

0_0;

Please answer back.

[anime1lvr]

search opencanvas 1.1 in google, it should be around the first link. this one has few features, but is free. its really good though!

[NateRiver203]

Thank you^^

[anime1lvr]

no prob

[applexwish]

you didnt use an optical mouse did you?

[FullmetalFan17]

where can i get this?

[WBelieveW]

when you draw on the line how come they don´t go away??????

[ddrfreakyrick]

Probably used layers.

[kratosXraine]

was this done with a mouse

[sukisan989]

It was probably done with a tablet

[VanityPerfection]

That is correct.

[Pinkywaa]

Nice vid!! But what did you do exactly at 1:40? THX

[FullMetalFun]

deleted the base layer probably :3

[Aoisoka]

Thanks for the video! you make it look easy, maybe I try too hard at coloring in hair.. I'm going to try this style a few times see if I like it ^^ thanks again for the video.

[marielynarutofan101]

wat exactly is opencanvas, is it it's own program or does it come with a different art program like Photoshop

[beebop97]

Search Opencanvas on Google, downloading is easy as 123! It doesn't cause viruses either. Really a great program!

[marielynarutofan101]

okay thanks

[beebop97]

your welcome

[Koshitoushiju]

Free?

[beebop97]

A 30 day trial, after that you can still use it but you cant save it, so just Print screen paste it into ms paint and save there. If you want the full thing, last time i checked it was 1 penny.

[Koshitoushiju]

Thanks!!

[beebop97]

No problem

[Koshitoushiju]

I got 4.5 plus. v.v it sucks to me.:x

[beebop97]

I know, ive dwnloaded like all the versions

[pockylove21]

Wow awesome colouring. I like the song.

[mayflowerbaby]

that little u thing on her face... is that her mouth or her nose?

[MakingThaBand4]

mouth.lol

[BoredBeauty123]

isn't it harder to do on adobe illustrator? o good drawing btw ^.^

[darknesstakesoveru]

I love all of your tutorials. They are extremely helpful. How long did it take you to be able to draw with a tablet? It is so freaking hard. lol anyways, thanks for all the tutorials! <3

[aspidisfly]

Love the colors you used :) One question though. What was going on during 1:37-1:46? Just curious. I couldn't quite figure out what you were doing...still new to oC ^^'

[koichanthefish]

um...sometimes i do that to make sure there are no "white spots" i forgot to color. it's easiest to check without the lineart or other layers to distract you...

[FallenxAngel24]

Um...what program?

[haley17lakyn97]

OpenCanvas, read the title.

[Neoneel25]

what tool was used in the very beginning ?

[mgfbossin]

nicehair.. but her eyes are funny

[Edaliex]

She bases her eyes off Haruhi Suzumiyas.

[koichanthefish]

there isn't a big similarity to haruhi's eyes, other than the coloring style...

[zaber0013]

that was so cool.

[Hanonsan]

um that was really good! but I have one question to ask, i like it how you just color the hair and don't care when it gets over the lines and gets on the face but, when time comes to erase the color on the face, how do you erase the hair thing and don't erase the color on the face? do you like put some sort of shield on the face or what?

[bangsheep]

Ha, that´s easy.^^ Just put everything on different layers what should be seperated (for example: skin gets his own layer, hair)

Just as long as you´ve got everything on it´s own layer, you can erase as much as you like

=> it won´t erase a thing on the other layers which aren´t selected^w^

Hope that was what you meaned^^

[LiDoAzNKiD4LyFe]

tHE SONG ITS MR. BRIGHTSIDE BY MCFLY, BUT I THINK THIS IS A DIFFERENT VERISON!

I THINK ITS BY THE KILLLERS:]

[LanceTSR]

Pretty good, this give me a lot of ideas

[SweetAna18]

what is the song title? :D

[haley17lakyn97]

Mr. Brightside by The Killers, i used to listen to them.....

[DopingBox]

Good vid but the song sucks.

[abtroc12]

yeahh man this tutorial help me a lot thnx xD!!!!

[XRandomxMCRxLufferX]

This colouring turitol really helps. But it's drawing the hair I have trouble with.

[InuLink7]

Wow! you are so good, i'd wish i can be an proffesional artist like u. Im wondering how do u duplicate the layer thingy so u wont go over the lines and stuff?

[BubbleCow]

WOW! great turorial!!! very helpfull!!! I have a question, when i draw it shows a pencil, how do i make it into that circle? :3 It would be helpful to responde! ty

[Pakawanc1]

i got canva but i dunno how to use it thx a lot but what do u use to draw??

[VanityPerfection]

I use the pen tool most of the time to outline my sketches, and use the waterbrush tool to color.

[EBIproductions]

:D tehee this helps alot ^^ for coloring my original ninja i mad..exept i have opencanvas 4.5 e yup ^^ thanx for the awsumt tutorial :D

[SasuNSakuLover247]

where can you get open canvas?

[VanityPerfection]

You can get openCanvas 1.1 for free. Just look it up on google :D.

[BlankFu]

Very nice!! I'm glad I found this, helps me a heck of a lot.

Two questions: Did it take a awhile to get that precission while drawing/coloring with the mouse? I can't do awesome lines like that, my my lines are coming out shakey and I'm hoping it'll go away with experience.I can draw like that in pencil though.

What did you do at 1:39-1:45?

[GillianKerr]

Zoom in. I use open canvas too for my works and me too my lines are shakey but when I zoom in it makes it easier.

[Evangeline3]

You can as welll get yourself a graphic tablet (I guess the artist is using one as well) They aren't that expensive,some start at 50$!

[Antlex]

which eraser did u use

[milkshake7656]

how do you make all the stuff out of the lines disappear? by the way i like your drawing you draw way better than me lol.

[koi13]

i love your style!! most people that are CGing anime make it look TOO computerized. yours looks really nice and smooth.

good job!

[VanityPerfection]

Thank you! That is such a sweet comment *hugs*

[LordKazekage1]

This is perfect it helps alot thanks :)

[Talixaen]

I can't wait to get a tablet so I can do this, maan.

Luckily my birthday's coming up. 8D

[VIVEC360]

cool pic,whhat open canvas did you use

[VanityPerfection]

For this one, I used the freeware version.

[LouiseLuvsPandas]

thts 1.1 right?

[VanityPerfection]

Yes :D

[Yuliloshka]

You make it look so smooth <3

[nolainaro]

OMG . just what program did he use to draw or coloring this perfect drawing.

can somebody tell me pleaseeee i need to know.

[VanityPerfection]

I used openCanvas. I believe you can download the freeware version online for free :D. I am a she BTW ;D.

[KittenCowCat]

I know I'm going to sound like a total noob but what is open canvas? I've never heard of it. Btw, is there a place where I could download it?

[WisbechTown]

nice drawin.

[JBX844187]

how do you make it erase only one kind of color instead of whatever its on..

[VanityPerfection]

I make a layer for everything new that I color and when I go to erase, I am just erasing what I colored in that layer.

[MidoriValentine]

This is excellent! Just what I was looking for. Do you make mangas of your own?

[Horakin]

Aww so cute ! good job

[tufluv93]

where did u get the open canvas program? cuz i dunno where to get and i wanna learn how to do that :3

so kool xD

would u be able to do that in adobe photoshop cs2?

[VanityPerfection]

You can get it online for free. Just go to google and type in free openCanvas :D. Just check out a few links and you'll find it :)

[tufluv93]

sweetness! ty xD

[Javet07]

Nice, I love that shojo style. Specifically what brushes do you use when making the lineart, though? Inking is the hardest part for me, even with a tablet (mailny because I can't get the brush how I want it).

Thanks, this helps a lot!

[MewMewMetamorphosis]

ooohhhh cool!

[KakimochiChan]

this is nice!

um.. just wondering, but do you use a mouse, or do you use a tablet?

[sperfearf64]

she got no nose? cool though

[chewyalmondbar]

i just wanted to let you know, all because of you i was able to finally color right on my opencanvas

and you have helped a LOT

So thanks sooo much

[loliconstory]

Can't wait for it then :), vanityperfection ^_^

[Rhindos]

i wish i could color like you:(

[VanityPerfection]

Practice, Practice, and more Practice!! :D

[raguman]

Thanks Vanity, I am looking forward to it ^^

[loliconstory]

I really like your tutorials. I love the technique you use for adding tone to your image. And very cute artwork you have there ^_^. I can't wait to read your story if you ever plan to release it to people like us :)

[VanityPerfection]

Hehe! Thank you so much! I'll be sure to let you know when I get the full first chapter up! Kinda like a demo to see if you like it! I'll personally message you to let you know! :D

[cutielover23]

she's adorable by the way. :) :) :)

[raguman]

Wow, I admire your skill... You'll have to teach me this personally ^^

[zakuzgmf]

which brush do you use to add hair color? airbrush soft 50% flow one? and build up as you go ?... good job anyways . ^^

[VanityPerfection]

Actually, I was using the normal watercolor tool! If you are using a tablet, just press your pen softly on the parts you want to be lighter, and harder on the parts you want to be darker. Also, if you are using a mouse, I would say run the watercolour tool where you want it too, and run in over the same spot again if you want to make it darker. Hope that helps :D

[narutofan1224]

Whats the name for this song? I like your picture.

[VanityPerfection]

Thank you! The name of the song is Mr.Brightside by The Killers :D

[spazzalicous]

ur really good :)

[VanityPerfection]

Thank you so much!

[PerryStudios]

Wow very nice music on it and it's very nice tutorial, but question. How you keep the lines being erased? I'm kinda having confusing on that XD; . Even I was O.Cing with couple of few friends and I can't erase my work. Which is strange do you know why? Oo;

[rucial]

She's using layers.

[PerryStudios]

Ooooooooo. Maybe mine must've got locked up XD. Thanks for your tip ^w^ .

[gorillaznut]

How do you people record stuff on the computer?

[VanityPerfection]

You use a screencapturer. If you are interested, you can download a freware program called Cam Studio. Just search it on google, its what I used :D

[Heartless137]

nice ^_^

[VanityPerfection]

Thanks! :D

[xhaley33x]

[VanityPerfection]
