Paint.NET Tutorial (Shading)

This might be the last one. My background will consist of me playing with effects and plug-ins, so there is nothing to teach. Also, the deviation will be a different version. You see, I finished this while recording, but the file could not save. Instead of undoing everything, I just made a new one.

I like pageviews, so go to Penguin0doom.deviantART.com.

PDN is a free, downloadable program! Download at getpaint.net.

k im brand new to paint dt net and i cannot figure out how to get the paint to not cover up the lines you used to trace!! so i cannot shade, (not well at least) please help!!

@SarcasmMaster I'm not sure if I understand what you're saying, but I think you have to set your shading layer to multiply (double click on the layer, a box will pop up) and make sure that layer is underneath the lineart.

I don't understand how to do the delete thing. I understand the ctrl-i part, but how do I do the deleting part after ctrl-i?

[WackyWatermelonWalk]

@TheSpiralQueenTSQ Just hit delete on your keyboard after you do the ctrl+i part.

@SarcasmMaster Make a new layer and use the paint bucket to make the layer white

then in the layer box, double click the the new layer and the properties will pop up

change the "mode" from "normal" to "multiply" and thats it :)

now just paint on the new layer and you got it
