For info on this post:
Click here to see spoiler
With lots of free time i launched photoshop and started to colorise some frames from mangas:
1 - quite easy, but there was a crysis  because of the colors
2 - same as 1 but no problems with coloring (only the guy was colored like she is)
3 - small problems but Pen Tool rulez!!!
4 - Quite a problem because of the liquid that is dropping from her 
I was thinking about separating her sweet (non-white) from the liquid (white)
Posting the pages of the comix for comparison. If you dont believe me i will provide the psd of the works.
Waiting for comments.
EDIT: This is from the Usual Play comix. |

If you have time and know how to use the pen tool and quick masks the job is hmm easy.
But it is time-eating... The quality and type of drawing also has a mater...
There are some mangas that you cant see anything except the japanesse "splurts"
EDIT: But im a zero when it comes to shading the mangas |

I must say that is impressive. I can relate to the time consuming part. I've been using Photoshop for some time (still using PS5) and using even half the options available takes a bit of time, and alot of patience, but it's still not as tedious as doing everything a pixel at a time would be. Sad thing is I've never even messed with the pen tool and hate to say it, I dont really bother with masks either. Maybe I should start looking into that... anyway two of the tools I find conveniant to use for shadowing (at least time wise) are the Dodge and Burn tools though it takes alittle getting used to if you're unfamilier with it. |

Nah, i know how to use them, but they arent what i am looking for...
Im using PS9 CS2 so i have the interface more user-friendly
The thing isnt so hard because even if you get out of the part that you want to color, you just erase that part of the mask and you dont have to color 1-pixel parts 
Sorry but im still learning english so if i dont say something clearly, yell
(A blonde non-h loli is coming next) |

Bah! Curse you and your superior technology!  ....
Just kidding. I went ahead and tested out just what it would look like to use those tools on one of the above pics but I agree that there is probably something better for the shading. The hatching/crosshatching of the orginal art dosen't allow for a seamless mesh (IMHO) when used in conjunction with dodge.
Yeah the real sad part about my not using masks is that I was actually told in detail how to use them and promptly forgot about it. and dont worry about the still learning thing I know a few native speakers that dont say things as clearly as you so no worries. (but I'll still yell if ya dont say something clearly!) |

Quick and dirty color and shade job (I do it all the time)
1) Set original art layer to multiply (if it won't let you because it's the background, double click on the layer and rename it, it should default to layer 0)
2) Create a new layer under the first (create a new layer and drag it under)
3) Lay down base colors, no shading, zoom in so you get it right with no bleeding.
4) This one is only applicable if there's any special effects such as speed lines or motion blur, possibly also for flat detail such as freckles, select the original art layer and use the wand tool to select all the black areas, then create a new layer above it to work on, now use the brush tool to recolor any lines you'd rather have a different color. If there is black bleeding on the edges, deselect everything and go back to the original layer again, then color the offending areas white so they disapear, DO NOT use the eraser, as it gives some really weird effects when on a multiply layer.
5) Create a new layer, set the opacity to something like 10% (but go as low as 5 in robust lighting), go back to the color layer and select the areas with the main stage objects, don't select anything else, set the wand to contigruous if you have too.
6) Go back to the new layer and start laying in some shading (with a 100% opacity brush tool and either dark blue or black), you don't have to be particularly precise but keep logical in where you apply the shadows.
7) Go to the filters menu and select gausian blur, tweak it until you're happy.
 Create another layer and repeat the process for the darker shadows.
9) Go back to 5 and repeat for each layer of action or background.
10) create a final top layer with which to add highlights, do not ever add them along edges, it makes everything look like extruded cardbord rather than an object with actual volume. If the lighting situation dictates such a thing, create blooms around breakthrough areas instead.
11) This one is up to you, if you feel a pressing need to add any 'neato' effects such as rain or lensflare, feel free but be aware people will make fun of you.
And that's it, takes me about 20-50 minutes to color one of my drawings this way.
edit: hmmmm, I wonder if anyone else has ever made a points list and had a sunglasses emoticon come up for 8. |

Oh, thats quite a nice tutorial you have there, Sparkster...
EDIT: I found this: hxxp://www.biorust.com/tutorials/detail/148/us/
And this: hxxp://tutorialseeker.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1487
Ill try making the eyes
I had an idea to make a selection with the quick mask, then fill it with a darker color on a next layer and after that add the gaussian blur... but it wasnt so good because the blending for the shadow mixed very badly with the multiply blending on the color base...
Thanks for the new method, ill try it when ill end the present projects
Well to my language, i started learning english when i was in preschool by watching cartoon network on the cable.
Yeah, they say that the TV makes idiots from us, but... well you see that i can speak clearly with you
For the blond loli that I promised, i dont like the outcome but i will post it, maybe in a hour...
EDIT2: Well she's here...
And the original pic is here: http://littleangelshentai.net/forum/download.php?id=4660
EDIT3: Any mangas you would like quick-colored? I dont have a idea what to do :/
Also i can get rid of most of that japaneese shit text whitout QMC
EDIT4: Bonus img added... i even undressed her <lol> |

Well i use ffcab9 an after duplicating the layer and adding a blur about 3.5 i set the blending to soft light. Thats the secret
Here is some more Im using the mangas you are adding recently because i have no concept for coloring
The second version is resized to show the good shadows. |
