"*somewhat OT* help with cg colouring?"
, posted Fri 25 Apr 16:47
Heya, I'm well aware that there are several good artists here...so I dunno, thought this'd be a good palce to ask (cuz most communities are rather elitist...grrr)
So then, I've been sketchinga nd doodling for a while, inked a piece and would now like to attempt to colour it in photoshop.
Problem is I have a very elementary understanding of the tools as it lay...can anyone loan me some personal help w/ an example of completed work, or maybe point me towards a good tutorial?
Thanks in advance...

I hate photoshop. I'm going back to colored pencils.
To try to answer though: Try using multiple layers Try looking up "masks"

Okay, the most basic way is first cut and paste your lines onto a new layer, so the background or bottom layer is blank. Now set your layer with lines to 'multiply' and then paint on the bottommost layer. The colors will now come through and you won't have to worry about coloring over your lines or anything.
Also buy a tablet if you don't already have one. You can get cheap used ones from www.wacom.com that work great and it makes coloring sooo much easier.

Go check the tutorials at http://www.polykarbon.com they are actually quite good.
