hiiii i absolutely love your edits!! your colouring is amazing!! can you show a tutorial how you colour? thanks xx hope u have a good day xx
Hi there! thank you so much that means a lot!! I'm assuming you mean my comic coloring but if you mean gif coloring just come back and let me know!!
I don't remember what psd I found on here that was my insp. so I can't link a similar one, sorry about that!! but I'll just finally release mine. I basically use this psd for all my comic edits with minor changes.
made from scratch by me, you can edit it, play around with it and use it as you please, just don't claim and don't whitewash!!

Under the cut explains a bit more about the psd, what the layers do, and how to edit them if needed!
starting from the bottom:
the bottom 2 layers (brightness/contrast & curves) brighten the image,
selective color 1 darkens blacks and greys,
vibrance adds... vibrance,
selective color 2 lightens all blues and makes them brighter (optional; things might be too bright)
gradient map 1 adds a blue hue and brightens everything but especially blues. kinda hard to explain all it does but you'll see
gradient map 2 adds a yellow hue (to balance out the previous layer) and brightens everything but especially yellows. again kinda hard to explain but it adds a cool effect
the gradient map layers brighten up all colors which includes blacks/greys/dark colors, so the next 2 layers (exposure & selective color 3) is to darken those back down to an appropriate level making the image cohesive and not blinding, but keeps the hues and brightness of the rest of the colors, adding this cool effect to almost every color and making them vibrant/saturated and very colorful. without these 2 layers (again the exposure & selective color 3) the image would be so over exposed you wouldn't be able to tell what's going on
selective color 4 is optional, but it makes yellows (mostly yellow and orange) lighter and softer, so they're less saturated
and finally curves 2 is to darken blacks/greys/dark colors even more so that black colors in the original image stay black. to get things even blacker/darker, I would recommend adding another selective color layer on top of everything, and going to blacks and greys and setting everything to be blacker (for help with that look at the 1st selective color layer and just duplicate it. play around with it and see what you get)
some tips:
if the image is too saturated/over colored/just too much going on, you can take off gradient map 1 and maybe the exposure or selective color 3 to get a more appropriate coloring for your style!
this psd could probably be simplified by some ps wiz but that's not me so this is the way it was made. just play around with layers and see what you get.
DON'T WHITEWASH (redwash/orangewash/etc...) if the persons skin tone (or anything else) looks washed out/wrong, just use a layer mask and bush tool set to black to erase that layer from whatever you want it off of. if it's more than that layer, use the layer mask on the group itself and again brush tool set to black to erase it off of whatever.
lastly;
play around and have fun! see what you come up with (tag me in your creations!!) and see what fits you/your style.
