My Coloring Job...

Hehe, thanks NightWolf. c:

Anyways, here's a five minute sketch of Tormo from the Darigan Citadel team. c:
I honestly can't draw Bruces, this was my first try too.. o..o;

Spoiler

 

O_O Nice writing...also nice pic :3. o.o good stuff on the coloring jobs, although they still lack a bit of depth and impression :x. Keep going DX!

 

Yeah i like all you have done makes me want to start but i just dont have the time

 

Heh, thank guys!
However, I'm trying to go for a new style but I'm not sure what to aim for. D:
Any suggestions...? Here's the image I'll be using...

 

go for a sketchy quality, make it seem as if it's hand drawn (no filtering ).

 

Hmm...
That'll take some time, but I'll see what I can do. :3
I made a "marker-style" but it doesn't work well with colors like this. :\
Anyways, thanks for the suggestion. :3

 

its better than most people's lol..... hehehe....:3

 

I think you draw very well. =3 I like the faerie moehog best, the spectrum of tones used on the main body is very nice and draws your attention. -the most drastic tones catch the eye best-

 

Thanks! c:
Seems I can't do the sketch look as of now, but I'll still keep going at it.

 

Try using the paint program SAI, it's really good at colouring effects.

 

That's really awesome! I'm jealous, wish i could do those kind of sketches and drawings.

But i think you can get much much better at it, keep practicing!

 

my hobbies is also to draw!!
and i can make mangas/anime!!

 

I hate to revive this dead topic.. But I seriously need some advice on how to color this damn picture. I've been staring at the computer for three hours failing at every style I've tried. ;-;

 

I say you should use darker blues and purples, for more of an evil feel.

 

Get rid of the red, or at least change it into an undershade of red and cover it with green. Honestly green and red can work so well together, but if you separate them and make both stand out it's going to be a bit difficult. Background does not match the figure in the foreground, you should think about changing your background or at least make it darker to match your character.

What type of shading style are you going for? It's quite important to get that down first as it can affect the picture in so many ways.

 

for the moehog picture, the background is kind of distracting because its the same color as his hair and parts of the wings. try using a different type of blue (a brighter color?)

 

Pretty good, your shading could use some work and whatnot, but it's pretty good.

 

woow
good job! i always find drawing on the computer is so awkward, but HEY! thats probably just me hahah
i prefer the old fashioned paper and pencil

 

do you use a tablet or do you draw them on paper and scan them onto you're computer? either way they look great and i love the shading mostly though cuz i can't figure out how to make shading work xD

 

I'm not sure to be honest, I wanted to go for a 'painted' kind to give her that realistic texture, but I don't know now.. :\
I changed up the sky, made it a storm-type of sky.

@ceneret - I do a combo of both. I sketched the most recent one on the computer, but yes, I own a tablet.
