More drawing

Colouring a character I drew earlier Programs are Painttoolsai and Photoshop 7.0. Artist: http://kiwiesrulexd.deviantart.com/

Process....

1) Magic wand tool to select each area to fill
2) Selection tool to select any areas the wand missed
3) Bucket fill.
4) Repeat each colour.
5) Lock each layer (Tick Preserve opacity, above the layers panel)
5) Shade with a bigger brush, doesnt matter depends on your preference, Density of 80%, Blending 30%.
6) Repeat all colours.
7) Lock lineart layer and colour the lines for a softer look.
8) merge all layers
9) Tidy up the loose ends.Blending some areas in.
11) Save and export to photoshop
12) I perform my secret speshul action. (its secret lol)
13) merge all, and Gaussian blur.
14) Set blending mode to soft light.
15) Curves to correct final contrasts.
16) DONE!

Your coloring and effects are really awesome, but I would suggest you to work harder on your lineart. It's kinda messy.

And I love your 2D shimejin! (I would use all the time if weren't for my slow laptop)

@softpacitti Thanks! I used to pay loads of attention to it, but i prefer it to be loose now to get the right shapes, instead of it being stiff. Now i will just fix it at the end :3

Is there a merge all function on SAI like there is on Photoshop? :O?

[KiwiPowerWOO]

@Ersaeda dunno lol. i just merge down from top layer lololol.

Why do you lock the opacity?

[KiwiPowerWOO]

@K00rihi i do it to stop me going out the edges when shading<3

I STILL DONT GET HOW YOU GET SUCH A GREAT RESULT!!

I can't get the soft light and curves to look likes yours :/

If you have time one day, could you show us a full video from a blank canvas to a finished drawing? I'm really interested to see your sketching and lineart process...
