In this tutorial, I will teach you how to trace your drawings in photoshop and then give them a nice color!

Step 1 Open your drawingin photoshop;

Note: trace and color your drawing on the same size you opened it in ohotoshop: large images with thick lines will liik very nice once downscaled!

Step 2 Then, select the Brush-Tool and set the size of the brush to a size that would be suitable for your lineart. Then select the Pen-Tool and make sure you got the following settings:

Step 3 When you trace the lines, you don't want to witness that all of a sudden, you can't continue because you only have 1 line at your disposal. What then to do is simple. Just draw a random line and when you're done, press ESC on your keyboard. That way, you deselect it, allowing you to make a new path. This is shown in the images below!

Step 3 Then select the Pen-Tool and make sure you got the following settings:

Step 4 When you got a nice path, or multiple paths, Right-click and a menu will pop up. Use that menu to give the path some lines! Press excape once more to remove the lines!

Step 5 Use the Brush-Tool at a desired size to color the different layers ON A NEW LAYER EACH!

Step 6 Then add shadow by making selections with either the Pen-Tool or the Polygonal Lasso-Tool, and fill them with black. Then group them with the origianl layer and lower the opacity!

Step 7 Use a normal brush and brush little hairs (if needed);

Step 8 THINK when you shade, because the sun can only come from 1 direction!

Step 9 Finish the shading;

Step 10 And now you see the transition of lineart into grayscale coloring (often used by Animators/Designer) and finally the finished product!
