Paint Shop Pro

This is the Paint Shop Pro forum. This is for all you folks out there that use Corel Paint Shop Pro to do your coloring with. If you do not know what Corel Paint Shop Pro is check out their Website.

The DOs

The DON'Ts

DON'T Post any questions for programs OTHER then Paint Shop Pro
DON'T Post ANY comments bashing Paint Shop Pro or it's users or makers here
DON'T Post ANY comments putting down other programs here. That means do NOT say "Paint Shop Pro rules and PS sucks!"

Basic PSP Coloring Tutorial
Note: I use psp version nine, I believe one or two of the tools used in this tutorial came out with version 8 so if you use something other then 8,9, or X then you won't have these tools

Okkies the lineart I am going to be using for this tutorial is located Here. You are free to use that lineart for THIS TUTORIAL ONLY! The lineart is copyright to Neshaka and I'm sure she would not like you stealing it.

Step 1 - Paste your picture into psp as a new image (ctrl-v) and create a new layer
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

And set the layer properties to Multiply
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Step 2 - Select the background layer and use the magic wand tool to select the horse's body
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Hold Shift and click an area to add it to your selection

Step 3 - Once the entire body of the horse is selected go back to your top layer and use the fill tool to fill in the selected area with a color of your choice. For this tutorial I used an off purple HINT: Set your fill tool's tolerance to 200

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Step 4 - See those ugly white borders around your color?
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

This is easy to fix, simply select the paint brush tool, I usually set the hardness to 50 and the size to about 10, that can be adjusted to fit the lineart. Then simply, slowly, go over the ugly white lines with your paint brush, being careful to stay in the lines of course, and bam the ugly lines are gone!
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Step 5 - Now for the shading, select the lighten/darken tool
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

We will be doing the shadows first, RIGHT CLICK the appropriate areas to add shadows, keep in mind your light source and the shape of the horse, don't worry if it looks a bit messy, we will fix that later
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Step 6 - Now to add the higlights, some colorists like to ad highlights only where it is needed, I personally like to add highlights everwhere there isn't a shadow, it increases depth.
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Step 7 - Now to clean up that shading a bit. Select your soften tool
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

And soften wherever you feel it is needed, for me that is everywhere ^^ I like to set my soften tool prefs to a hardness of 50 and a size of around 10, opacity of 100.
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Step 8 - Now for the hair, repeat steps 2-7 on the hair, I don't use too much softening on the hair because it gives it more of a.... hairy feel. Notice the one prominant highlight I used.
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Step 9 - Now all you have left is the horn and the eye and your done! And you have a fully funtional horse head ^^

Oooh, spiffeh, Apple! heart
I learned about the lighten/darken tool.
(Which I'd generally tended to stay away from, unno why.)
*scuttles off to poke at attempting to use it*

We're allowed to do similar tuts, yeah?
As I suppose the one I'm conjuring up in my head is a "How to Colour" but we obviously have different colouring styles... xd

Check out the link in our mini linart-jam forum, it'll take you to real one where you can get lineart.

*chuckles* Well, I rather like the ones I found online but have added the Jam to my ego search. ^.^
(Yes, I'll afford all artists credit, link to the site, and even pate their disclaimer saying that what I'm doing is allowed. xd )

So... Here it is, my first ever tutorial.
(And it's only part one, as I didn't think tossing loads of info all at once at new users was a great idea.
Part two is being worked on.
As well as a "You and Your PSP - Learning Your Way Around" one that I now realise should have come before this one. >.O)

Thanks.
I was woried it was a bit longwinded... xd
I... tend to do that. ninja

Anywho....
I think this guild was a lovely idea, Apple. ^.^
We can all learn from each other (I've even learned a few things from Photoshop tuts that've been posted. xd )
And still, as much as we learn, we keep our own styles and such.
(BTW... That lighten/darken aspect is addicting. xd
ESPESCIALLY when I'm too lazy to find the shades needed on my own. biggrin )
