Welcome! I've gotten a number of letters asking me how I do some of the effects I
do on my digitally-colored pictures, so I thought I'd make a tutorial that covers
some of the techniques. This tutorial is aimed at people who are artistically inclined
but may not know much about digital paint programs, and covers digital inking, coloring,
shading, and some basic effects used to produce cartoon-like imagery. This tutorial
focuses on not only methods and techniques, but also tries to shed light on a deeper
understanding of how Photoshop works. This tutorial aims to teach you both the basics
and some more advanced concepts.
A note on terminology: In the tutorial, I will use a sort of shorthand to indicate were a menu item is located. For example, an action that I refer to as "Image > Adjust > Desaturate" could be found in Photoshop by going into the "Image" menu on the top bar of the screen, moving down to the "Adjust" sign until it shows its sub-menu, and selecting "Desaturate" there.
