First Coloring Attempt

[crimson66]

This was my first serious attempt at digital coloring.

Yes this is my original work. I wouldn't post something that's not mine.


I filtered the colors to make it look papery because i felt it gave it more depth.


I'll be posting more in here as the days go by probably.

Constructive comments only please.

pretty good for a first attempt. what program did you use though? looks like paint.

anyway im not a big anime fan but ill try and be helpful. the hairs pretty cool, probably the best part of the piece, and all the colourings right, apart from that it should be lighter at the top parts, not darker. also, add more depth the the hair on the head, add ridges or something so its not so flat.

get rid of some of the lines around the eyes and add a forehead instead. this will create a natural way to add shading and will make it look alot better and more realistic.

also, there needs to be a little more shading around the nose to add depth.

the necks good, you got the basic muscles and collarbones, just get rid of that weird line where youve added shading under the neck, there should be only 1 for the jawline.

overall, not bad. keep practicing.

I used Corel Painter IX for the line art, it always has that shitty line look though, but i just realized that if i upped the DPI it would probably smooth it all out.

I agree, i love how i did the hair, it just worked.
And i also agree in how the face seems too flat, i couldnt find out a good way to add depth without it looking silly.
