I'm constantly in awe of the artistic talent in this forum. I'm particularly jealous of people who can take things from their minds and put it to 'paper' AND make it look effortless. I've tried my hand at drawing anime-style but I am just pants at it.
Makes me wish I'd kept up with studio art after Uni.... that was a while ago. I guess I can thank all of you talented types for challenging me to pick it up again.
Back on topic - I hope we'll see more of your work as it's fab!

Neat! Nice coloring job
I love coloring myself.. maybe I'll give it a shot too. Thing is I'm used to working with photoshop files and layers so I don't have to watch the lines too much 
So coloring a jpg is harder.
Re: Practice makes perfect! - Noelle - 08-27-2010
Ooh~ Awesome!
I really like it!
I hate colouring my stuff.
I can always see the mistakes I've made as I go around it, and it infuriates me. So I give up! ;_;

If you are coloring a jpeg i find it easier to duplicate the image into a new layer and set it's mode to multiply. If it's a black and white jpg the white will become transparent and the black will not change. Then lock the layer and paint on layers under it.

Hmm.. thanks for the tip. I'm going to give that a shot sometimes, see how it works out

I didn't really give it all the attention it deserved so it could have been better but I still like it anyway ^^ I also did a little 'inking'
I'll do an entire picture of Ren sometimes, methinks. At some point And give it a little more time.

Ayaya~
that's awesome Sylian xD
And he's got a little blush!
I'm really struggling trying to do this colouring stuff! It's so hard! D:
Makes me realise how good people actually are compared to me, and how much harder I need to try!
