It's so huge, oh my god.

As a disclaimer, I want you to know that I do not think that I am really good enough to be teaching anybody anything, but some people were curious about how I go about things, so please don't think of this as a RIGHT way.

I don't really think there totally is a RIGHT way anyhow, if you can get something to work for you, then it works for you! BLAM!

Hope it's semi-helpful.

This is awesome. I've always loved how you use the gradient tool. Most people use it and make it look bad, but this is fantastic!

By the way, which program do you use? It seems very familiar to me...

Awesome! I was wondering how you achieved all those neat color transitions. The Magic Wand tool's my best friend, too.

I'm a little unnerved by the Color Balance tool, though; usually, the results end up worse than their predecessors...

Stop being so hard on yourself! My brain is not rotting, it is flourishing! I never thought to use the pencil tool, but looking at it, the hard pixelated line keeps the paint bucket tool from leaving that semi-transparent line around the inside of the outline that you get when you use the paint brush tool (this has bugged me FOREVER, because if I ever put any of my pictures on a dark or brightly colored background, you could see it through the picture!)

I am an uber cheater when it comes to photoshop, too. But I have this thing about consistent line thickness (in my art, not yours! Yours is awesome), so I have kind of turned into a pen tool wizard.

Now I'm off to go fight Voldemort with my pen tool skills *is shot repeatedly* (I'm also a bad jokes/puns wizard :3 )

Waii Amaaazing~ Do you ever do anything in traditional media? I'm trying to get into comic drawing and thus far I have little more than bits of bristol, sumie ink and a watercolour brush...

this is great, i always admired your style of gradient shading. It's good of you to share your technique (i'm really not so practiced at photoshop) but i have a biiiiig assignment i need to colour and impliment digitally so this has provided me with some insight into ways i can experiment with colouring. (don't worry, i won't try and rip you off) I'm a big fan of your style btw. its awesome.
