Ok. Maybe it's not a typical tutorial since I didn't discuss many aspects but I wanted to make it comprehensible. Sorry for any mistakes- it's my first tutorial.
I focused on my own way od colouring. Of course it's not like 'must be"- everyone has its own way and the secret is to find the best solution for yourself : 3.

To be honest, my colouring skills were influenced by various artists, especially from dA. I learned a lot from :iconshilin: (soft shading) and :iconyumedust: (skin shading , making the seperate hair strips) and from Ciel ( colour schemes and shading). I was taught many helpful things by :iconradittz: (photoshop tricks).
I owe them a lot :heart: Thank you Girls *bows*

I hope you will find this tutorial useful. I showed you how I shade skin, hair, clothes and how I match the colours and textures.
It's not a tutorial for the very beginners- to understand it you have to possess basic Photoshop knowledge.

Many thanks to =anikakinka for beta-testing <3.

I also recommend these tutorials:
- soft shading [link]
- textures [link]

If you need textures then please type it in your Google search and you will find a lot of useful sites. There are also some great textures made by dA users.

If any questions don't hesitate to ask :]

What brushes do you use? :)

Recently I do not colour in Photoshop because I don't like its brushes. I prefer Sair because there is a marker, brush and watercolour brush which blend colours nicely.

In this old tutorial I was using a soft round brush with low opacity in Photoshop.

Ahh, I just switched from SAI to Photoshop because I got sick of SAI's crap memory usage and lack of filters. But thank you! You really helped me!
