Pain

[merciless]

I made a try colouring, i suck bad i guess, tell me what you think xD Any tips would be great =P

[Shinhan]

I don't think its bad at all. There is something that stands out on Pains skin tone but I have no idea what. I don't know enough about it. But if you aren't a pro yet I think its a really good job.

just make it more pop out...make your focal point or subject pop out of the background...that's my suggestion

I thought the samething too. At first I couldn't figure out what was wrong. The problem is the skin colors are kinda dull. Not much variation to them since you already depended on the mangapage for the shades.

You are good in coloring merciless good job!

Are you using different layers for each color? (assuming you use photoshop)
It's not bad though, but I feel like you'd do a better job with a different technique.

Try setting each color layer on Multiply.
Use the Bucket tool to fill the whole layer with a single color.
Start erasing the parts of the picture that don't correspond to the color you are using.

Example: If you're coloring the hair and the hair color is yellow, set a whole layer up and make it yellow. Set it on multiply above the original image and start erasing everything, other then the hair.

I hope this helped. Btw, after you colored the whole image, you can do the shading last. But the way you shade is up to you.

Edit: I used this simple technique on my Avatar and look at this as an example of what you can do only using what I said above:


Lame/Plain Sig with the colored picture and some minor editing:


Final Edit: Just realized someone dug up a 7 month old thread -_-
