Quick Rendering

[Topic]

Can anybody help me rercreate this tutorial, i allready have my sketch but i have no idea how to change the colors (for some reason it just gives me gray and black shades, when i click on the 2 color boxes on my tools box to change the color it doesnt change them, just keeps them gray and black shades) etc. im a very basic photoshop user, so can somebody write this tutorial out step by step i would really appreciAte it because its very broad in the tutorial, thanks alot.

This sounds like you are working in a grayscale or index color mode. Change to RGB or similar mode.

Open a pic with PShop

To see what mode the picture opened in:
Use the top menu and Click Image > Mode


Here you can also pick a new mode like:
> RGB
