    Coloring Anime

    Anime may be nice in black and white, but wouldn't it be much better in color? Now you can color Anime very easy using a few steps to achieve this result!

    Ever wanted to color those boring black and white anime?

    • Step 1 As an example, I've chosen the protagonist from DragonballZ, Goku, which, to me, is the best Anime ever!

    • Step 2 First we need to create a random background of a random gradient, then place the drawing on top of it and change the blending-mode to Multiply;

    • Step 3 EVERYTHING we're gonna do takes place UNDER the drawing;
      Now grab the Magic Wand-Tool and select all the pieces of skin on the top layer;
      Select your first piece of skin and then HOLD SHIFT to select multiple area's;

      Note:NIF YOU HAVE A WACOM OR A DRAWING-TABLET LIKE ME, YOU COULD ALSO USE THIS.
      REMEMBER TO STILL COLOR ON A LAYER UNDER THE LINES...
      EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A WACOM, I STILL USE THE MAGIC WAND-TOOL TO SHOW YOU HOW THE RESULT SHOULD BE!

    • Step 4 Then go to Select>Modify>Expand and expand the selection by 1 pixel;

      Note:WE DO THIS BECAUSE THEN THE COLORS TOUCH THE LINES, OTHERWISE THEY DON'T!
