PS Tutorial: Easy Coloringby *lycanthropeful

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Digital Art / Drawing & Painting / Photoshop

I got a bit sidetracked while coloring a commission (what else is new

), but for once, something good came out of it! Voila! The result of my procrastination is, in fact, a tutorial!

I've seen other tutorials about the lasso and wand selection method, as well as using clipping masks, but never one together. I've never seen one about using a clipping mask for this, though, either, which is exciting. I learned that from someone's comments on a brush pack, I think.

SO CONVENIENT. I don't always use this method for bigger, more detailed works, but when coloring in simple lineart, this really does save you a lot of time.

Give it a shot! Let me know if you have any questions, and I will be happy to try and answer them. Enjoy!

_{Tools: MacBook, Wacom Graphire4 tablet, and Photoshop CS4.
Texture: From here.

FINALLY! Someone who tells me how to not color outside of your line art! Thanks so much!

*lycanthropeful Sep 4, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

No problem! This method isn't foolproof, and sometimes it takes some tweaking, but I've found it useful. Thank you! I'm glad I could help!

Oh my god you have no idea how much trouble I've been having without Clipping masks. You really saved me there.

~bosyosy1015 Aug 24, 2010

Wow, you do it the exact same way I do. I'm glad I'm not the only one, haha!

*lycanthropeful Aug 24, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

Good to hear! I don't always use this technique, but it sure is helpful.

~bosyosy1015 Aug 24, 2010

Yeah. I've learned that coloring over on a new layer first, then masking it using the lineart layer works well. Then of course clipping masks for the shading.
