High-Res PSDs? Anonymous
I know this isn't really the place to ask, but /r/ isn't going to be much help.

Does anyone here know where I can acquire some original high-res PSDs of manga art? I'm learning how to color my own lineart and I find it intensely interesting to see how other artists do their coloring.

Big thanks to whoever can hook me up.

Also, have a Shunya Yamashita pic, because he kicks ass.

PSD will never help you.

It wont give you any insight into how anyone paints, its just a collection of finished layers.

Better off finding some tutorails. but tbh most of the great artists learnt from life drawing and know a thing or two about colour theory. Any noob can learn to paint using photoshop it isnt that hard, how to use colour effectivly is the real challenge and its easier too pick that up when colouring with physical mediums.

Yes I realize that. I'm a PS user who just happens to like his work, that's all.

So do artists never release their PSDs to the public? I know most wouldn't but I figured some would. Ah well.

In addition, it doesn't really matter because most artwork is merged up before getting to the client.

If you want to know how artists do it, try finding painter scripts or Open canvas events.

unless they personally share it, any files for someone or a company stays between them and that someone or company.

If you want crisp High res files you're better off looking for Press release material.

Several of the doujin artists who release their work on cd rom include psds. Goto-P is the only one I can remember that includes unflattened psd.
There is also a series of 'how to' cg tutorial books that come with cds of unflattened psd files. ---But they only have 5-10 images per book. The rest is step by step tutorials.

Ive seen psds before...RARELY though...TBH forget psd just put the time and effort into actually painting for yourself, far more enjoyable.

I always find tutorials that are like: "add color" and then half the image is done, and I'm always like "wtf, that doesn't help." So I just gave up on using tutorials.

I think colouring is just something you have to work out yourself, unless you find, as mentioned before already, painter scripts or Open canvas events. Some oekaki boards also record every stroke and you can play them back.

because adding color is all there really is to it.
It's up to you to choose it.
try with feeling the first times and don't dwell too much on color theory. After that you can research it.

Just got very lucky. Caught this magazine w/ cdrom
at the San Francisco Kinokuniya bookstore six years ago. He happened to have done an article for his Oni-Musume pic and threw in the full psd
on that Mac/Windows cdrom. No one else even comes close to the amount of work he did on it.

I don't have anything more than that or what can be found on his website.

I've seen many psd files in books like these, but only Toy put in all those layers and channels for just about every detail in the pic. He also has the pencil sketch on the top layer.
