This is simple steps of coloring manga character. I was inspired by lady warrior from Indonesian old fairy tale named Srikandi. She is a princess but also a warrior with bow and arrow as her main weapon. I use Adobe Photoshop CS3.
1. I do the sketch with pencil, this is still rough then scan it. |
| 2. Inking in Adobe Photoshop
|
3. Then I determine which color that I will use after that using pen tool, select the area that will be fill with color (I will write another article on this). 
|
4. Create a new layer and fill the selection area with Paint Bucket Tool.  |
