Random Anime Girl Coloring on Photoshop Elements 8

Hi guys!
So, I felt guilty because I didn't post any videos since last year ( o.o ), so I decided to post this thing here.

Well, I was kinda bored, so I decided to paint an drawing I made by hand (for some reason, I hate drawing on the PC xP But for some other reason I find digital painting quite entertaining).

Name of the character: she doesn't have a name o.o
She's totally random; I just wanted to make a girl whose skin was more tanned than Aiki's (see my DA page to understand xD)

Programs Used: Photoshop Elements 8 (coloring); drawing and inking done by hand lol

Time: I don't know, but at least 2 hours.

i got a question? plz awnser if you can.

i have SAI (free trail type... k downloaded TT_TT) would u recommend drawing and all the lines on sai or photo shop elements cause i tried today and im lost on photoshop :P

[Raki252]

@CrazyCartoonistG2 Definitely SAI. Lineart on SAI always looks smoother and nicer. When I do lineart with Photoshop elements, it looks all crappy and poorly made (even with a tablet). SAI also has a nice lineart feature that allows you to play around with pressure, color and other stuff without the need of a tablet. In fact, I think it works better with a mouse.

I have a question for photoshop element 8. I got it for my birthday and I was wondering if I can draw strait from it. Or do I have to scan something in and then colour it in?

[Raki252]

@darkwolf451 You can draw directly in it, of course.There's no need to scan anything, it's just that I just prefer to draw by hand. Also, when I do the lineart digitally, I prefer to use SAI instead of photoshop, but that's just me.

did you use a tablet to color it?? :D

[Raki252]

@SasuHinaROCZ Yeeeea.

I can color stuff with only the mouse as well, but the tablet makes things more efficient.
