First Time Colouring In A While

<div class="IPBDescription">I still suck. :D</div> Well, i was talking to Kylie on IRC and the forums, and i decided to go off to code. I got bored with that in seconds, and i'm still stuck in Silent Hill 2, so i had a dig around my harddrive and found an old sketch i did, so i decided to colour it.

It's not a fantastic colour job at all, and no, it's not NS related, but i quite like it.

Took about 50 minutes to do.

    Very good for a first try

    Alot better than mine was <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Only thing i'd say bad about it is there isn't much detail on the "middle" of the hair.

    Yeah, i said on IRC as soon as i finished posting this "[17:18] <+esuna> i can't colour hair". <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I was kinda stuck for that.

    Also, it's not my first try, it's my first try in a while, as you'll notice from my sig / avatar, i drew / coloured that, but that was nearly a year ago. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I agree. Finding the right spots to brighten/darken, to add depth, is quite a work to do, at least by me. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Nice work otherwise. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    for a first time colorer looks da** good

    try adding more shading to the face, and you could add some detail with the coloring... thou some of it may be the drawer's fault...

    1) I'm not a first time colourer, as i stated a post or two ago.
    2) I also drew the image in the first place.
    3) The anime style does not use an abundance of facial features or detail, unless we're talking "serious" or "realistic" anime, which i don't like to draw anyway.

    Please, have the decency to read posts before you reply.

    Well...
    What I do is I just get highlights to 100 or around there and make some neatie highlights in the direction I want it going, Then just do some shadows and stuff, I usualy dont show all the hair in comics, Have a dark theme, That way you only see the parts I dubth as half decent.

    Looks, like, erm, a head.

    No it looks good, although the hair looks like someone has had fun with Nutella (contains nuts)

    Well... yes the title of the thread is misleading.... because I remember coloring when I was in third grade... and I believed that this is the experience you were talking about... even though you colored your own avatars and what not.. that doesn't mean you must take suggestions like a p****.

    No need to be a *****.... I was trying to be friendly... but now you've gone to far... critizising my decency.... that has to be one of the lowest blows I've ever received from someone here at the NS forums...

    From now on... there will no longer be pie served to your doorstep... well.. maybe on Sundays... but thats it

    Nice work, is the grain around the head the paper, or something you added?

    A little from column A and a little from column B. The paper i drew the original on was a yellowish tinted, 180mg sketchbook, so the scan was far from perfect, to kinda cover it up i added on my own grain in photoshop. And i thought it looked cooler than plain white.

    What's misleading about "first time colouring in a while" it's quite clear really, it says it's the first time that i've coloured something in a while, and yes, this includes both computer based and pencil / ink based.

    Also, you evidently read the posts prior to your own, where i both mentioned that i drew the original and where i restated that it's the first thing i've coloured in some time.

    Sorry if it seemed like a low blow, but you have to admit, you quite evidently read the posts above.

    Yes, I did read the prior posts.... but that does'nt mean that I apparently have no 'decency'...
