Awsome pictures, I'm a bit confused on how you got the colors to look so smooth and how you got your lines so straight. whenever I try they come out wobbly and sketchy. Next time go into more detail on what exactly you do and maybe show it in photoshop fram or whatever. Love your art

I have three questions. First, what do you use to get that specific line quality you have in step one? Do you have a special brush in photoshop you use? Illustrator?

Second, how do you go about adjusting the color of your lines in step six. I know there's a way to do this I've used myself, but I've never successfully been able to select a specific line or an area I wanted colored.

Finally, how do you that transparency in your colors? Notably the mist behind the bear and the ghost fox.

Thank you.

I use the standard brushes that come with photoshop. Sometimes I use the round brush and sometimes I experiment with others. All the lines are on one layer, and on that layer I click 'lock transparent pixels' that way I can paint all over that layer but it will only show up on my lines.

I love this tutorial. I really adore your style (found you through tumblr) I had a question though; I'm a bit lost between step four and five. How do you edit the gradients? Do you take, for instance, the darkest part of the gradient and create shadowing with it? Thanks a ton for responding!

Hi, thank you! What I usually do to create shadows like that is I have a regular gradient on Layer 1 and on top of that I have a Layer 2 that I paint my shadow shape on, then I set that layer to Multiply, and then lower the opacity on layer 2 to about 20% or whatever looks good. I hope that helps! Or maybe I misunderstood the question..hmmm :B
