Willow, colored!

So I did end up coloring her after all. I wanted to get the hang of Photoshop since I plan to use it for all my coloring now. I actually already had it, it came with my tablet; that is, a cut down version of it, though I can't tell the difference. It's called Photoshop Elements 3.0. Willow was my "victim" for this particular excursion, since she's cute and I felt like coloring an uncolored quadruped. Artist's block disabled me from drawing something from scratch. Well..the background is a little cheap, but it'll do. Shading was brought to you by the awesome combination of the paint brush and the smudge tool. Grass was brought to you by me making a simple stamp and hammering it all over like a madwoman. Huzzah for the magic wand tool, without it, some mistakes I made would have destroyed me. I found Lizkay's tutorials to be very helpful in getting down the basics of the program: http://lizkay.deviantart.com/gallery/#Tutorials Google works great for specific questions.
