I’d be happy to! Though it’s a little tough since I don’t know how much you already know. I just looked through your gallery quickly for some digital pieces and saw one of them said you used Photoshop, which is what I use as well. Do you use multiple layers for coloring? It’s a lot easier than putting everything on one layer. You can also color directly under your pencil drawings, which is what I did for this picture. Just put your drawing on its own layer and set the blending mode to “multiply,” then you can add color to layers underneath it and it will show through. Photoshop’s mixer brush works really well for soft shading, if that’s the look you want.
I hope that made sense ^^; Feel free to ask more specific questions if there’s anything in particular that’s giving you trouble!
Aw, thanks so much! I’ve really enjoyed digital art since I started doing it a couple years ago. It’s nice because it’s easier to fix mistakes and you don’t have to worry so much about scan quality and all that. Still love traditional too, though ^-^
