Description

A simple masking tutorial for coloring inside your line-art.

Steps for people who would like a list:
1.) Select outside of your lines.
2.) Right click > Select inverse OR Select Menu > Inverse
3.) Select Menu > Contract
4.) Contract by 1-2 px
5.) Create a new layer
6.) With that layer selected, click the "Create Layer Mask" button at the bottom of the Layers panel
7.) Color :)


My first tutorial, I just have seen a lot of people coloring the old fashion way in Photoshop, so I thought I would share one of my shortcuts with them. :) Also, I think this is the first time I have drawn Simba in years o.o.
