Tip Regarding “Doodle/Lineart Coloring”

This is just a tip for coloring doodles/Lineart

1. So open your Lineart/Doodle Scan in Photoshop

Photo = Here

—

2. Duplicate the Background Layer and fill the Background Layer with white.

—

3. Double click the Duplicated Layer - The Layer style dialog box will appear and select “Color Overlay”

—

4. We’ll do this so you can change the black color on your doodle/drawing

—

5. Change its blending mode to “Lighten”

—

6. Now change the Blending mode of the Duplicated layer to “Multiply” so that you can eliminate the Whites and you can now start coloring your doodle/Lineart.

Note : The color layers should be below the doodle layer.

—

7. I’m using the pen tool for coloring - but you can also use the brush tool if you’re having a hard time using the pen tool.

Tip : Every color = New layer. So that you can easily change it later on.

Start with the base then add the highlights/shadows.

—

So yes. :)

Enjoy
