Welcome to the PSP tutorials thread! Here are listed many excellent sites with tutorials on how to draw, color, and many other things with Paint Shop Pro. (Personally, I have PSP7, but I think any edition will work.)
I would like to keep this thread as neat and tidy as possible, so please try to refrain from making one-sentence posts or carrying on personal conversations if not neccessary. (Of course, sometimes this will happen, but I'd like to try and stay on topic so that the discussions stay organized. :) )
I am toying with the idea of adding up a companion guide to Xue's coloring tutorial (see below.) If you would like to see this happen, please PM me and let me know so that I can start working on it. This would simply be for me to follow along step-by-step with Xue's tutorial, posting my own progress and explaining anything if needed. :grin:
I also would like to make people aware that there are tons and tons of tutorials for Photoshop - by all means read them!!! Photoshop and PSP are so similar, and have a lot of the same features, that a PSP user can easily follow along with a Photoshop tutorial. All you need to do is be a bit creative when reading through a Photoshop tutorial - the names and icons are slightly different, but the idea is the same. So do not be afraid to read Photoshop tutorials simply because the only program you have is PSP!
Links to Tutorials:
One of my personal favorites, that demonstrates in 9 steps how to color a drawing: http://fanart.lionking.org/imgarchive/?FanArt/Xue_Falcon+hi+++
Just scroll down on this page and look at the coloring tutorial images Xue has.
Two really good tutorials are on this site: http://pendako.syste.ms/
Simply click on the "tutorials" button at the bottom of the page.
A good tutorial that covers "real-life" art techniques; the artist here uses a combination of background water color washes on Bristol board and coloring with colored pencils. Worth a look, especially if real media is your preference! Here's the link: http://www.kyoht.com/howto.html
A good anatomy anime tutorial can be found at:
http://www.polykarbon.com
This was recommended to me on another site I hope you find it useful!
