Digital Paint Demo - Photoshop CS5/ Wacom

Just thought I'd record myself as I colored in some lineart I found on DA. This was my first night doing digital coloring, and I'm actually pretty proud of what I ended up creating, although I know it needs A LOT of work.

This isn't a tutorial, I don't have any more advice for you than the notes I put in the video. So enjoy. I've only been at this for a day, so I'm not going to be creating any tutorials for this until I get way more practice and get better.

This is really good! Great work, one suggestion though. I see that you said you're shadows need a lot of work. They look good, but to get a more softer and realistic shaded look, the extra soft brush you have in your brush presets (the fifth one down) would do a much better job at giving you that effect. :) keep up the good work!

@Sugars00 thanks. I don't like where I put my shadows either... I need to study more about light / shadow theory...

Since this okay, I have one Question, you have cs5, how do clear the gap of a few pixels between the colour and the lines?

[HeyOMGJae]

@xXMooverlordXx I'm not understand the question... rephrase, I'll try to help

And about you highlights, you should get the tool that takes color from a picture and take the base color of where you want to add highlights and set the brush mode to linear dodge (add) and set the opacity at 25% and beside the opacity is another one and set that to 23% which helps alot and start coloring over the base color like you are shading but adding highlights...hope this helps!

Hi! You did an amazing job on coloring considering it's your first time but from the looks of it you were using the blur tool to shade...THAT RUINS THE DRAWING.. You should use the smudge tool because it is for shading and blending the colors together.

@bluevolt89 I know I am not her but you have to have the background layer under all the other layers!!

Amazing... The colors! Just loved it all!

Been wanting to learn stuff like this aswell, but it seems so damn hard!

So I was wondering if you could give me some advice perhaps?

For instance, what pen tablet you using?

How the heck do you change the brush size that quickly!

The selecting process, an explanation would be perfect!

Just some basic stuff like that, awesome painting!

Never use pure black, it's too harsh for shading unless you're in black and white. C: next itme I suggest using a really dark purple. it looks good with a brown skintone. Like the dark purple you used for her bikini.
