EDIT: I just realized that the title I had was one letter too long so it said "...Lasso Too". I've edited it a bit so it can have the 'L' on "Tool".

Thanks :) And feel free to comment with a link if you post what you color. It'd be cool to see somebody take what I've learned and make it their own.

I still don't get ;) It seems so clumsy but you achieve such wonderful results. What I don't actually get is how you make such smooth selections. Even with a tablet I can't make such steady and clean selections.

The more practice the better you get with knowing how to move your hand on the tablet to get the movement you want on the screen. I've also found that the faster I can make the selections the more smooth they turn out to be, and if I don't like a selection I've made I use the handy shortcut button on my tablet that's programmed for "undo".

Great tutorial! Having universally soft-looking shadows has been a problem every time I color. And extra kudos for sharing your brush settings.

working at print resolution, you don't need anti-aliasing on, because the image is so large that when it's shrunk down in production, that 1/2 pixel difference won't be noticed.

Of course it doesn't hurt to have it on.....
UNLESS you forget to turn it off when you do your flats.

Thanks for doing this tutorial though, FAR TOO many "colorists" don't know how to do lasso friskets.

True, anti-aliasing doesn't have to be on when coloring print quality stuff, but I usually just leave it on for the lasso tool in case I'm not working at print resolution. Any lasso selections I do that need anti-aliasing off I almost always do with the polygonal lasso anyway. Plus I admit when I'm zoomed in during coloring it makes me feel good to have my colors all nice and smooth.

I'm glad you like the tutorial :) I had to look up the word "friskets" because I've never done anything that involves them so I never knew the name, but the term fits very well for what I use the lasso tool for.
