MY EASY COLOURING STYLErequested by few people here
I use paint tool sai, but it could be work in any art program almost same way, but the functions could be at different places. I added some photoshop help too.
First I get an outline. then I just fill it
there are white dots, which I just colour with the pen/brush tool
I colour all with red or any redish colour because it is easier to see if I went out of line or not then any other colour, you can use any colour, it does not matter.
I do this so when I do the BG I will have all colours in outlines and won't need to fix and delete those random colours that out of the line.
after finishing colouring I lock the layer (
I have two sai, in my other sai it is called different) but this is the locking layer, in photoshop this is the really a lock, but it's icon is not the icon (that is something else)
this is the photoshop icon for it
Next step colour how I want. only the basic colour. no shading or anything yet
after I am done with all base colours, I do the blush, on this layer too. I use an other brush, if you have sai, you can copy and see the settings for it. (tablet pressure is needed for better use)
new layer, on top of it. this function will allow you colour only where you have colour on the layer it is tied with.
here is the photoshop version. click with right on the new layer that you put over the colour layer:
(Sorry it is in swedish, I accidentally managed to install it in swedish instead of english....
I don't mind it, I would mind if it were in hungarian because once I used it in hungarian and it was horrible)
now you choose a light colour (greyish colour probably the best with some colour.) this is the time, when you can play what colour you find the best for the picture.
I chose a light blue, then use same colour and made a new layer where I colour everything! this gives a colour to the picture (you can play with colours can be more colours)
I deleted some parts of the blue on the new layer as "light"
Next the light.
I usually use white, but other colour can give some interesting result, also use lighter colours here, since this is the LIGHT wanna be. but if you use a darker colour, it could give you some interesting result, again something where you can play with xD
the BG
new layer under the colour. now you can colour there freely and there is no see through by dot parts in the picture or something. that's why I colour like that in the first
and my fav new brush, that is pretty good and cool, in photoshop, there is many other type of brushes
This brush just good for colouring and mixes the colours pretty easily and well, it is also practice and you get how you want, or not. you actually can do anything you want.
and
done.
