Colouring Line Art




By Melissa Evans








Digital Art Tutorial Recommended for Beginner to Intermediate Level Photoshop Users


INTRODUCTION


The tutorial that follows shows MY way of colouring using Adobe Photoshop.
I do not claim to be a Photoshop expert by any means, this is just the
technique I use. It’s a really good way of colouring/shading your
pictures if you are indecisive about the colour palette, as you can
easily change the colours at any stage! Please note this tutorial is
written for PC users (because that’s what I use) and for mouse users.
If you are new to Photoshop, then this is a great tutorial for you.
I’ve included plenty of imagery to guide you along the way. By the time
