Colouring Mermaid Lucia in Photoshop Elements 5.0

XDDD I did not draw this!!! It's a colouring page!!!

Ehhh, to see the real colours I chose heres the dA link: http://kurumij.deviantart.com/art/Lucia-Colouring-Page-80961442

Alright as the title says, and I plan to put more up XD Not that I'm the greatest nor are these all that entertaining, I just...want to XD

So first in the series, Mermaid Lucia.

I actually not satisfied with this at all! :( Her skin shading just looks like a sun burn, the fin shading is HORRIBLE, you can't see the hair shading very well, I picked a bunch of colours wrong...the only part I like is her eyes XD

Anyway, the song used was: Starry Sky Remix
By: HAL
(I cut the song)

Lucia belongs to Pink Hinamori and Starry Sky belongs to HALNA, Atsushi Sato, and HAL... I suppose XD

I have a question. How are you coloring and shading yet the black outline of the sketch remains? Everytime I try the brush tool covers the outline. How do you make it so it doesn't?

[KurumiJ3]

When I colour I make a new layer and then set the new layer to "multiply". That way I can colour over the lines and it doesn't cover them.

alright i have just a few questions because im new at these thigys, do you have to make a new layer everytime you color some thing?

and how do you clean up the coloring so nicely?

also do you do yours on what opacity?

[KurumiJ3]

No, you don't NEED to make a new layer each time your colour a different section, it's just easier to keep track of. And also, if you got some colour into another area on the same layer, it would be hard to fix, but if it's on separate layers you can just erase it with no hassle.

I'm just using the eraser tool. Once I shade the area I merge my layers and then erase all the stuff outside the lines.

For flats it's 100% and for shading, it depends on if I find the shade is too harsh or not.

Uncle, since you have done it? It is that you it have done super good. It hears, if I it have not written good it is because I am Spanish and I it am translating to the Englishman.
