Electra

I didn't know what to call it. Her tail is not that small, it's just that I wasn't planning on using her at first when I made the lineart.

I made this a few days ago, maybe last week. It was a test to try out clipping mask coloring on PSE, as well as light source shading. I didn't really intent to post it, so that's why the lineart was made on paint [and not anti-aliased].

If you wanna know how to color with clipping masks on Photoshop/Elements, read the following.

1. Draw a lineart.


2. Select everything inside of it on a layer underneath it. (I just used the magic wand and selected everything) I suggest using it on sample all layers, and unclicking contigious (don't ask me about it, I read about it in a Photoshop Elements for Dummies book). Then click in the white areas and right click and select "deselect" in the backround area. For mine, I also selected the areas behind the lineart too. (I don't know if there's a difference)


3. I then color the selection in one solid color.


4. Create a layer above that layer, below the lineart layer. Then make it into a clipping mask layer. Now whatever you color will stay inside of the lines. Just make a new layer within the clipping mask when needed.
