Coloring Your Art
1. Open up your sketch or a downloaded sketch (whatever you want)
![]() 2. Create a new layer beneath your sketch layer and name it face(or skin) color ![]() 3. Roughly color the skin parts (I used #eed4bd) ![]() 4. Create a new layer beneath your sketch layer(and above your skin layer) and name it hair color ![]() 5. Roughly color the hair parts (I used #917352) (Repeat this for eyes, clothing, whatever you want/need) ![]() 6. Now create a new layer above the face/skin color layer and do the same for the hair ![]() ![]() 7. Now color in the shade parts of the skin (I used #b99e82), the hair (I used #53402b), and repeat this for eyes or whatever you want/need ![]() 8. Repeat steps 6 and 7, only use a lighter shade color then the first time ![]() ![]() 9. I forgot to do the lips and eyes, so repeat steps 6 and 7 ![]() ![]() 10. Select the first shade layer (I am showing the skin in this tutorial) and apply a 3.0 Gaussian Blur to it ![]() 11. Do the same for the second shade layer ![]() This should give you the following effect: ![]() 12. Repeat steps 10 and 11 for the hair, eyes, lips, etc ![]() 13. My hair shade wasn't dark enough so I duplicated the shade layer a few times to get a darker shade ![]() 14. Adding highlights/some more light. Create a new layer above the sin layers you have so far, name it face/skin highlights or something like that ![]() 15. Roughly color in the highlights with white. ![]() 16. Blur this highlights layer to something that looks natural and drop the opacity (I dropped mine by about 60 percent) ![]() 17. Repeat steps 14, 15 and 16 for the lips , hair , etc (whatever you want) ![]() 18. Create a layer called final edits, or something like that ![]() 19. In this layer make some final edits, I added some more darkness to the eyes, brushed up the hair on a few parts and added a reflection in the eyes ![]() 20. Duplicate the sketch layer, blur the copy by 0.5 pixels and drop the opacity a bit (mine dropped roughly 50 percent) ![]() This should leave you with the following result: ![]() My final product (a lot more steps are involved in this image): ![]()
