Coloring a Drawing in Photoshop CS5by *teaganwhite

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Digital Art / Drawing & Painting / Photoshop

I've had a handful of people ask me lately how I do this or that with my illustrations, and although my process of digitally coloring a pencil or ink drawing is pretty simple, there are a lot of specific steps I go through in Photoshop that make it really difficult to explain in a few sentences.

So, I super-super-quick threw together this tutorial.. It's a step-by-step of how I take a drawing and give it some flat colors and textures, so it looks almost like a screenprint or something.
The tutorial should be detailed enough that even someone who has hardly used Photoshop can understand it, and (I think) atypical enough to be worth a glance through even if you're a more advanced user.

If you have an older version of Photoshop, or are trying to do this with a different program, and some steps or menu paths are different, I probably won't be of too much help; sorry! I'm happy to answer other questions though.

I have a quick question/problem, during part 1 step 8 (when it comes to filling in the background a certain colour) when I attemp to 'fill' the background, it doesn't properly fill like in this tutorial (I can still see the small black and white squares), how do I fix this and get a properly filled background?

check & make sure that you did all the previous steps correctly, and that you're on a new layer, and that "all layers" isn't checked in the top toolbar for the paint bucket tool. other than that, i have no idea, that shouldn't happen!
