Airbrush coloring-Tutorial

 

First make a layer under the Outlines and choose a

dark color as a BG
(it's very useful for coloring light colors)

 

 Make the Basic color

  

Now the shading

Choose a dark skin color
(I always choose a color between red and orange and goes a bit darker)

  

With a gently touch shade where you want

Especially on the nose,cheek,chin,shoulder and elbow
(When you have open legs shade the knee)

 

Use a smaller size an use the same color on the gentle shade.
oppressive a bit with the tool (it will goes darker °v°)

   

Correct the colors with a litgher skin color

 

 Use the pen to make the lightspots on the face
with white

  

Tip:

It will looks very good when you make the spots on the nose,lips,chin,shoulder,elbow and knee

  

When your character have colored fingernails

make the basic color and shade them like the skin

  

Make lightspots as well

 

Now the eyes.

make a shade the pupil
and choose a daker color with a smaller size

make the same progress and this time
make 2 lightly circles in the eye

 

 Make lightspots.
Make a new layer an choose the color shock pink.

 

Use the same getle touch progress on the hair (like the skin)

and use a small seize to make the shade

Tip: it's easier to make it from bottom to top

 

 Make the same progress with a lighter color
Tip:this time from top zu bottom

 

 Make lightspots on the hair

 

 Now the clothes.

Again a gently touch at the beginning

 

 Then with a smaller size for the shades (the same color oppressive touch)

 

 It hopefully looks like this ><''

 

Make your own BG and you can use brushes for the clothes,hair,etc.

I hope it will help you for coloring with Airbrush >w<

You can save it as a PSD Data to make effect with gimp or PhotoShop

I will make a Tutorial for it,too ♥
