So helpful. Thanks for posting this. I'm in the process of using it for something on another site and will link back to here in my credits when I finish it.

great, I look forward to seeing it ^^

What if you colored it on a different medium, and want to shade it using photoshop?
I used an app called ArtRage.

(I literally know nothing about digital art ^_^

~arkaya Sep 21, 2012

That's no problem.
I do not know that app but, in theory it should work no prob.
It would obviously work best if you had seperate layers, but you can just go straight on top in PS

Thank you, this was a big help. Vectors happen to be... bland... without shading.

You are very welcome

Great - hope to see it

I am creating a poster for a stageplay I am doing, and I needed to shade my whale. This was superb! For me, I needed to add one step: Edit > Fade Fill, (and then I could choose opacity) and this allowed more definition of my whale to show through. Thanks much!
