You Color It.

[brad]

Nice how did you add the darker parts?
(shading)

Create a seperate layer, then chose a black or dark grey set the opicity at about 60 - 70% then chose your light source and apply your color. then clean up with the eraser tool.

Hey, Dew; what filter are you using on your pics? I thought you were maybe using the "watercolor filter" from Photoshop but you say that you use PSP. It adds to some of the pics but isn't all that great for other ones (like the Invincible one).

those look really great guys, keep up the good work!

I learned it all from these:

And a lot of just trying. In the end you get your own way of doing things.

I use texture/edge smoothing depending on what I need. Yeah I had it set a little high on Invincible, but I liked the way it looked so I kept it

I thought about doing that one too, but then I realized I didn't know what most of the dc characters costumes looked like so I decided against it

How did you get the pecil line that black?

Go to: Image -> Adjustments -> Brightness/Contrast and mess around with those settings.

 

[Cobblepot]

Thanks, but doesn't that darken the whole picture?

You have to juggle them a little. But you can make it as bright as you want.
You'll just have to try it.

 

[Cobblepot]

Will do.

 

[Cobblepot]

What about this.
