Hey ya'll! I've gotten several comments about how I color Skin Deep, asking me how I do such and such, or if it's watercolor or markers, or yadda yadda this or yadda yadda that, so I decided to make a tutorial!
Secretly it's because between getting engaged, forgetting my tablet at my apartment for the holidays, and the holidays themselves, I am waaaaaaaayyyyy behind on Skin Deep and I don't have a page for Thursday. So you get this instead (and I'm posting it early too!) I promise there will be comic next week! Promise promise promise!
Anyway, this is how I color Skin Deep. How do YOU make art?
I realized after I made this that I didn't go into much detail about actually COLORING the lineart, and more about the texture layer thingers I do to make it look snazzy. Basically I just have my black and white layer on top of everything and set it to "Multiply". Then I make a new layer and use the paintbrush tool and color under the lineart. Snazzy and simple, no? Yes! I color flat colors, and then I do shading, and then I use black and white on a low opacity to make more shades and more highlights. I know you're not technically supposed to shade with black and white (it makes it more dimensional/gives it a richer tone if you use complimentary colors), but since I'm putting a kind of sepia tone over the whole thing via the layers, it kind of gives it the same effect. MAGIC.
Also any further questions you have I will gladly answer here!
When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
A Special Collection of photographs i found this month that still haunts my mind. Show them some love There are always some i can`t include due to space, i try to make the features under 50 deviations to give them better exposure
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

I may have to try out some of those texturing techniques when I get back home to my beloved PC and scanner.
