Someone requested a coloring tutorial after I posted a few colored manga icons, and since I haven’t written tutorials in a while I figured I’d give this one a go.

Of course, you can always use the Eyedropper tool to pick up the different colors one at a time, but why not quickly get all the base colors in one go?
In this tutorial, I’ll be covering how to grab your colors in Photoshop and then load them for use at any time. It’s really a very simple method that many people don’t think to do, but I personally find it immensely useful and time-saving.
