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!
The marker effect your textures create is marvelous.

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