broad sweeping strokes is best.

if you shade a large area, use large brushes, large strokes, and then suibtract what you don't need.

using broad strokes will give more consistency.

You'd probably wanna get some textured brushes. Thing with colouring Guyver manga is that a lot of shading is done for you. Takaya uses lots of dots and screens and halftones to shade it while it's black and white. You won't get that sort of similar effect with just using the brush normally and blending on Photoshop.

This is a texture pack you can install in Photoshop. From there, you can use it and apply it to line art to create a (sort of) similar effect.

Install the texture pack, and when you want to use it, create a new layer where your SHADING will exist. Right click > Blending Options > Pattern Overlay.
You may have to load the texture yourself. If so, click on the pattern thumbnail and a window will come up with a bunch of patterns. Click on the little cog wheel to bring up another menu where you can load patterns yourself.

Set the Blend mode to MULTIPLY.

Paint shading in and the pattern will appear over it wherever you paint


If you lock transparent pixels (click the little checker board on the layers panel) then you can go in with a darker colour within the painted shading to create varying levels of light. You can also go in with a colour closer to your base colour as well for lighter bits.



This gives you a very basic way to achieve a somewhat similar effect, but really the sort of look you are going for is achieved in the drawing stage
