I always make pencil drawings on paper first. Then use a scanner and open them up on my computer to ink and color them. One tip I can give you for photoshop is to use layers. Make one layer the background, another layer the characters. That way you can use lighting effects on the background, and it won't effect the characters. Another tip I can give you, is to use the tool that looks like a medicine dropper, and click it on a screencap, so that you can get an exact match to the colors used on the show. It will make your brush or paintbucket use the same color that you clicked on the screencap.

Nice tips but it is just that i want to paint it 100% in photoshop with mous.

Well, if you're not going to draw on paper and scan it in, it's gonna be really difficult to draw with a mouse alone. Not to mention, the pictures *might* turn out ugly....

I always scan in a sketch and use it as a rough guideline for digital inking.

One trick I use if I want to skip the paper part for a quickie drawing (for me it's PaintShopPro, not Photo Shop) I create a "Temp" layer and start scribbling with the paintbrush tool, then I can create yet another temp layer and use the line tools to clean up the image, until I'm happy with it.

Another thing I do is use the largest image my particular computer can handle without bogging down the speed too bad. It takes some patience when the layers pile up on a really large picture, but the results are great.

Well, if you want to draw KP on PS, try to get a tablet. Of course you can draw with a mouse but it's quite difficult.

Okay, this is fairly crude since I did it in a hurry



Frame 1: I created a blank layer, in this case 2000x2000 at 100 pixels per inch resolution. Using the paint brush tool I did a quick sketch of KP. When I got started, I used the KP tutorial by an artist named Ziwu at deviantart.com. In most of my work I use a digital photo of a pencil drawing for this stage.

Frame 2: I changed the color of the sketch layer so the line art layer would show up better. The new layer is like using tracing paper. I go ahead and use the outline colors I want.

Frame 3: Withe the sketch layer 'turned off' (I often delete the layer at this point to speed things up as far as computer memory is concerned) you can see the smoother line drawing. Using all the basic tools, you can clean this up much further and fix mistakes (like the oddball proportions of her eyes here - another reason I prefer to start with pencil)

Frame 4: colors filled in, basically you've got a recognizable drawing now. I'd further clean it up and create yet another layer to add details and airbrush shading.

Basically, I had to teach myself how to do this, mainly by watching other people's work and figuring out a lot of what they had done. This was all done in PaintShopPro 8, but I believe Photo Shop works in a very similar manner.

Here's an example of how to color on the computer. I use Corel Painter 8, but I've found it's almost exactly the same as photoshop.
Well, I started out by drawing a simple pencil drawing:

Then I scanned it into my computer and opened it up in Corel Painter 8. I created 2 layers on top of my pencil drawing. One layer I use mainly for outlines like an ink layer:

And below it, I make a paint layer.

I used the airbrush tools to draw and paint... and I used the blender tools to blend the paint layer. When I finished drawing Jake, I added a layer and made the background. For the fire, I used the FX fire brush, and then blended it with the blender brush. To get glowing effects on Jake's green spikes, I used the glow brush set to yellow or green.
And here is the final product with all the layers together:

You can do the layers for your KP pics the same way.

It's been a long while since I've done a pure mouse-drawn picture, but on MSPaint, I don't nearly have enough money for such programs. But I would assume it's sort of the same thing, I would just suggest a lot of patience, so hang in there!
