i know most of you know by now that whenever i make a decent sketch, i almost never color it
it's because i'm planning and working on a cartoon with mishka and tick
i have some "storyboards" made at the moment, which i'll post some up later and tell you more about it today
basically what i wanna do is make an introduction of them; where they live, who they are, their personality, etc.
<lenko> i saw a hedgehog on the way home if i was drunk i would have yelled IM DOCTOR RRRRROBOTNIK and chased it

i am dead

<+wwchicken> once i walked into the kitchen and there was a sound
<+wwchicken> but i could only hear it when i stood on one spot in the kitchen
<+wwchicken> then i turned off the light
<+wwchicken> and it was gone
<+wwchicken> then i turned the light back on and there it was again
<+wwchicken> so i thought, its an invisible alien
<+wwchicken> but hes scared of the dark

ok so in this storyboard tick is having a dream about being hunted down by these soldiers, but it's obviously not official
im working on a few completely different stories and picking a best one, but im only showing you a bit of this one for now
and yeah its kinda crappy but ffffffff

i think the black outline is a little harsh. try something more natural, like a dark sandy brown for the trunks and a darker green for the leaves.

so should i get rid of the outline and replace it with something like a darker shading of its color?
or should i just trim the outline enough so it doesn't look so harsh

anyways hows the coloring on this

i agree with rtil, keep darkening the colors and lowering the contrast between the trunks, grass, and trees. the image is too harsh and saturated right now. some shading of some sort would really help
I have more of a life writing this review at 1145 pm than you guys do making these movies. . .

rtil

you don't have to get rid of the outlines, but you should use them to your advantage instead of treating them as an obligation.


mishkamash

well i thought about what you guys said and redoing the whole thing
because to be honest it was rushed, which is related to what zekey said
so yeah im just gonna take my time on this one
