Welp... I said in my previous deviation: bugplayer.deviantart.com/art/O…That I was going to make a change or to, I meant it literally...
Haha! Turned out pretty in my opinion! ^.^

I search up my oc, and see another pone named Sketchy Tune. XD Hello!

I would love to get some pointers on shading from you. Matte colors are great for cartoons, but for still images this sort of work just makes it pop so much better.

Well, it's not that complicated.
I'm a beginner at shading, so I don't usually use 1000 different type of brush options.
But I mostly use an airbrush, with opacity to 20 and flow to 23, with a clipping layer for the color layer, so that when you shade, only the color layer is affected. ^.^

Well this only took me... Forever... to reply to. I wanted to wait 'till I had time to type something big.
I usually start with a pencil sketch, scan it, do a rough inking with a photoshop (I dont have a tablet, so things come out all shakey), then move into flash to vector over it for perfect lines.
I'm thinking if I want to shade, I'll have to pull out of flash in two layers (color and outline), put back into my photoshop as two layers, and airbrush on that. Would there be a way to only effect the color layers without making 2 layers? I know you can magic wand a selection to only effect that, but once you go from vector to raster the lines between begin to blur and don't highlight properly. I'm being a bit of a perfectionist, but, such is my way.

Eeeee.... I don't use flash XD So this is kind of confusing.
I vector directly on Photoshop, and I keep the magic wand in the drawer... Never got used to it.
I just use a clipping mask like I said on the color layer, saves me a lot of problems.
But may I ask, what's the advantages of using flash? Just wondering

Mainly flash is an animation tool. Technically, I can turn anything I draw into an animation with little work. It'd just be ugly when it moves.
I use it because it's a vector instead of a raster. I have never understood how to use the vector functions in programs like photoshop. It rasterizes immediately after you "finish" it, and you can't change a line or resize later. When you use a pure vector program, any line can be moved or bent at any time, color corrections are 100% accurate no matter how many you layer on top of each other, and you can scale something from 10 pixels to 10,000 pixels and back a dozen times without any loss in quality of edge and detail.
If I could learn to use the vectors in photoshop, I wouldn't need flash unless I actually want to animate. But logically - it just doesn't make sense to me.

Well it's not that complicated to ''vector'' in Photoshop.
Note the quotation mark, since ''vectoring'' in Photoshop is just tracing the outlines with the Pen Tool, so there's no background virtual lines (or whatever you call them) to keep quality.
The spoken Pen tool allows you to build up nice curves before coloring them, even with a mouse!
It's a little bit derpy to learn how this Pen tool works, but that's what I'm using! ^.^

Really what I need is a tablet. Then I can just go from pen to product in one program instead of paper then photoshop then flash.

Personal opinion, I would recommend one, which is perfect for beginner/intermediary, it's called Wacom Tablette Bamboo Pen and Touch.
It's the one I'm currently using, and it's a really good one if you want inexpensive and quality. The small version is like 80$ and some peanuts.
