I'll definitely try this out. I've cut out stuff before but I never could figure out how to cut out entire bodies without zooming way out and end up with the whole thing looking horrible. Lol, so thank you for this! Very easy to follow along.

Yeah, I used to struggle doing it at first too, my early ones look terrible, haha! :P
Thanks very much! Hope it's useful for you :D

It's neat to see how you did this! I tend to use layer masks the most, but sometimes I'll use the lasso tool too. Up until recently I always used the magnetic lasso tool, but it was such a headache! The polygonal one is much easier!

Yeah, I used to use the ML Tool a lot too, but found that it jumped around a lot to places I didn't want it to - it was such a pain sometimes, haha! :P
But yeah, after I started using the Polygonal one I got used to it and found it easier :))

Love this tuto. Will try in the next set :) Goes to my memories and thanks for doing it! You're great :)

*waves hands wildly* OMG Harad, you have outdone yourself! Absolutely brilliant tutorial! I love it! I think it's going to take me a little while to get the hang of the lasso tool, but it does work great! Thank you do much for do this! Oh, and I'm so excited that you did the coloring too! I have been wondering how you get that cool coloring technique, and it's all in the exclusion layer! I shall be experimenting with that quite a bit this weekend. I also never thought to play with the Black in Selective Coloring. That really makes it nice too. Thank you again!

HAHA, well I did it because you requested it! :D
Yes! Everything comes down to Exclusion layers, they're fantastic when you know how to use them :DD
And yeah, tweaking the Blacks is something I've been doing recently; sometimes I get caps that looked washed out, but if I play with the Blacks they look like they have more contrast. It's handy!
You are very welcome! :DD
