I turned off the back layer for a cleaner look. Refine the sketch! Again, not much I can say here. Take time to research a little if you can! The facial structure and style is vastly different too, but a comedy or shoujo anime vs a more serious one will have a very different look. Older (80's) anime didn't use the 'red vein thing' or 'nosebleed when seeing a hot character' so keep that in mind. You can reference existing screenshots and cels, or even draw over the basic anatomy, as long as the expression, muscle structure, and general style is different- pay attention to how 80's and 90's characters are posed. Okay, that isn't very helpful, but 80's anime was often drawn by people with perfect knowledge of anatomy but had to draw quickly because of budget, so it doesn't need to be perfect, but it helps if you're accurate. Phone with camera (the more horrible the better)(optional) I'll include the PSD and MDP of some of the pictures above so you can reverse engineer/reference them! Personally, I feel like it didn't turn out as nicely as the one of Shuu, but eh, I kinda messed up on the green shirt and the background- it's not as gouachey as I want it to be. This is the image I'm basing the tutorial off of: The most successful are probably both the ones with Shuu (purple/black haired girl) The method has changed every time slightly, especially since I am still trying to perfect it. it’s not a big difference, one that you have to squint to see, but i like it there.Īnd that’s about it, tbh….there’s some other things i did with that particular coloring like add a background, but….ehh this is pretty much my process.Some people asked me how I do my 80's anime pictures: I change the texture layer made from “normal” to “overlay”, and the result is a VERY light hint of texture over the coloring. Then i go to file>place and place a texture over it.
i can’t really explain this because it differs every time (plus…i don’t wanna give away ALL the secrets of my trade, do i? haha)īasically, just mess with contrast, brightness, gradient, fill layers, opacities, etc. i adjust the brightness, the contrast, and add layers over top of different colors with their opacities lowered. Then i open it in photoshop and just… mess around. there’s no real rhyme or reason to this, i just put them where oda drew the shadow lines or places that look like they’d have shadows idk.
Then i add another layer and slap some shadows on. Then add another layer under your original layer to color on. Since the panel is smaller than 500px originally, it’s blurry when i re-size it, so i up the contrast (under filter>brightness and contrast).ĭon’t up it TOO much, though, or it’ll look kinda pixel-y like this and that’s not goodĬhange the mode of the layer from normal to mutiply. So i open the panel in SAI (though this can all be done in photoshop as well, i just prefer sai for the first part) and re-size it to 500 pixels wide. (PLEASE FORGIVE ME if i go too in-depth here or not in-depth enough, because i’m not sure how much you already know about using programs like sai and photoshop. Here’s the panel i’ll be coloring for this tutorial B) no surprises there. for this i recommend mangastream.to, it has some of the best quality one piece scans around, especially for the newer chapters. To the person who asked me how i colored this, here’s a quick tutorial using another panel that i love hehehe~ the programs i use are paint tool sai and photoshop CS5.įirst, i find the panel that i want to color.
