Manga Coloring and Texture Tutorial
Learn how to go from this to
in PS 7
First, crop your image to 100x100 pxl, and use Auto Levels/Auto Contrast/Auto Color.
Then, create a new layer, set it on multiply, and color in Lust. I used #F6EACE for her skin, and #CC0000 for her lips/tattoo.
Next, create a new layer, fill it with #ECD6AF and set it to softlight, 100% opacity.
Paste this texture by damnicons (I adjusted the color, it was orginally blue-ish) and set it to multiply, 100%.
Duplicate your base, desaturate it, and set it to softlight, 100%.
Create a new fill/adjustment layer (using Hue/Saturation), and set it to hardlight, 30%. If you don't know how to do this, click this button, select Hue/Saturation, and click OK. (Don't mess with the settings). Set this layer to hardlight, 30%.
Duplicate your base again, and set it to softlight, 100%.
Paste this texture (by plafulmispeling) set it to screen, 70%.
Paste this gradient, and set it to lighten, 100%.
Duplicate your base once more, and set it to softlight, 100%.
Duplicate the first texture (this one), and set to multiply, 100%, but erase every part that covers Lust's skin.
Create a new layer, fill with #113067 and set to exclusion, 30%.
Using the rectangle tool, create a small rectangle in the same color as Lust's skin color. Add text, and a tiny-text brush. Then, add a border, and you're done! :)
