Photoshop tutorial: professional color for character design

I would like to create a really detailed multimedia tutorial about Photoshop so that any beginner can follow it in order to color characters in a professional way, just like I do it from SOSFactory.com

Welcome to my project!

During the past 10 years I have created dozens of tutorials and I have mentored hundreds of newbie illustrators free of charge from my beloved SOSFactory, I have always thought that the best way to promote my work is by helping others. I would like to dedicate more time to this task and for that I need to develop a business model that will facilitate for me to share my knowledge in a sustainable way.

WHAT IS THIS PROJECT ALL ABOUT?

My goal is to create a multimedia course on coloring in Photoshop applied to character design.

It is a bilingual course (Spanish and English) which consists of text with images and animations, several live videos in high resolution, and several Photoshop files (included the final design) where I explain the whole process of digital coloring.

WHO WILL BE THE TARGET OF THIS COURSE?

This course is oriented to any user with basic Photoshop knowledge, especially those who would like to advance their learning as colorists with the goal of becoming a professional illustrator.

In this tutorial you will learn how to use all the tools for coloring in Photoshop in a completely professional way. You will learn many concepts in theory and practice … extracting lines, making color templates, coloring using layers, using the history brush, layer and brush blending modes, building different kinds of textures … just like I would do it for any of my clients at SOSFactory , all that will be left is for you to practice and personalize the technique to your liking.

WHY DO I NEED YOUR HELP?

This course is written by me, I will invest a whole month of work to create the character, to write all the text, to prepare the images and to edit the videos. Besides I will have several production expenses.

  1. I will need a translator for the English version.

  2. I will hire an English narrator to have their voice on the videos, I will probably need another one for the videos in Spanish.

  3. Depending on the number of patrons who will help me, I will have to update my web server plan to manage the download of files.

HOW COULD I CONTRIBUTE?

Verkami only accept credit card contrutions by default.

If you want to do a contribution by Paypal you can send the money to [email protected] (add a note about this project, please) and I will do it myself under the username "aportaciones Paypal", when the fund rising is finished you will receive your prize, even if we don't reach the goal.

WHEN?

The tutorial and the videos are already finished; I’m currently working on the English translation, adding voice and editing the videos.

Probably, the tutorial will be completely finished when the project financing stage is complete.

WHO AM I?

My name is Sergio Ordoñez, freelance Graphic-Web Designer and Illustrator, and creator of my beloved SOSFactory: on the one hand it is my portfolio and the place through which I offer design and illustration services to companies like Nestle, Hasbro and Playboy; and on the other hand I help newbie designers and illustrators to earn their living with their art.

    Hola!

    Hace ya un tiempo pregunté si ya habían entregado los tutoriales, no se si se me paso o elimine algún correo informativo por aquello de las prisas diarias.

    ¿Podrían orientarme cual es el estatus de las entregas del documento?
    ¡Gracias y Saludos

#06 / Tutorial Finished, Contributor list finished, Website finished!!

Hi contributors!

  • So SOSArmy website is finished and working (www.sosarmy.com).

  • We already had more than 100 downloads so I assume most of you already got your tutorial. And I didn't receive any negative feedback so I assume the quality is good enough.

  • I credited most of the contributors as promised (in case you want your site listed just send me a link to your site, thumbnail and name). http://www.sosarmy.com/about

So just left the tutoring for those who contributed with more than 40€, if it's your case I would require you send me a link to your portfolio, introduce yourself and the reason why you need my help in order to help you to improve your portfolio, your work load or any other thing you want to improve.

Thanks a million!

Sergio

#03 / New promotional video.

Hey buddies,

I created another promotional video about the project in Youtube:

The fund rising is going quite well but If need some help to spread the word, would be great if you can share the video with your friends.

Remember if we don't reach the goal the funds will be refunded.

Thanks a bunch!

Sergio

#02 / English version is ready!

Hey buddies,

just another quick update, the tutorials is already translated to English.

So at this point just left editing the videos and adding voice, it will be quite challenging and a bit expensive but the fund rising is going really good, so I will pay it from my own pocket.

Thanks a lot for your support!

Sergio
