I've been practicing some other coloring styles lately. While I really like how the inkless painting style looks, it does take a long time, so I experimented with a more cell-shaded technique. Inking in black is still not easy for me (shaky hands means multiple erases and re-dos), but it allows me to fill colors in quicker. Still not really sure how I feel about it...probably needs more contrast between the shadows and the rest of the colors.
Also...background techniques continue to elude me >_<
(A note about Alex's hair...this is a very short-lived style that was not her choice at all.)

ReplyDeleteTip on BG - sometimes taking a simple photograph and running it through a number of photoshop filters is pretty neat. Here's an example of one I did a while ago. It's just a stock photo that I made blurry and then put behind my art. http://maxwellsdeamon.deviantart.com/art/Mr-Maxwell-81027935
