How to Color Anime Style
1
Ok! Let's get started! I just drew a fast sketch. It's good for planning. : )
2
Line art! I just kinda traced my sketch.
3
I'm going to lay down my base colors now.
4
Using several different tones, I add some shading to the skin. I used the blur tool to blend the colors too.
5
Time to shade the hair! Hair has cleaner and crisper lines, so don't blur too much!
6
Oops! Just realized I didn't add a base color for the sweaters. > < Sorry about that!
7
Shinny!!!!!!
8
Now zoom in really close for the eyes! The eyelid casts a shadow, so I just added a gradation to add a little more depth to my drawing. Also, have fun with the eyes!
9
Sparkles!!!
10
Almost done! Just add shading and highlights to all the accessories!!
11
Shade the stuffed cat heads/rainbow/banana/pillows! Then add a background and adjust the colors. All done!
