Awesome coloring job mate! Really good attention to the lighting. Great deal of emotion from that little blast of fading light on his mask... sweet! ^ ^

The speed makes my heart beat faster with all the rays of sunlight pouring in trough the leaves. The colours seem nothing less than perfect again but I'm a bit bored of all the naruto fan art I've seen lately. It's like the gundamn wing epidemy all over again. But nevertheless that doesn't lessen the quality of this piece.

You did quite a nice job overall! I believe her hair to the left (her right) should be more pressed against her head to flow w/the direction of movement in the hair, and the right bang (her left) seems a bit lifeless/flat. I think her hands are just a bit on the small side.

Other than those minor details... this is one awesome picture ! The episodes where Haku and Zabuza died brought tears to my eyes ... as did many other episodes.

Damn..awsome.

One question...you use layers or channels to color your artwork ?

danimation2001 In reply to raven-heart [2004-05-27 05:06:28 +0000 UTC]

I use one layer for colors and if needed I'll use channels for flats.

I love how, if this were linework, I would have skipped over it.

But your choice of color, and execution in coloring, and blending the colors, all makes me love this.

VERY good work.

Haku was the ONLY cool character in Naruto. (Even though he was a giant rip-off of Vega[U.S.]/Balrog[JP] from Street Fighter II.)

I allways believe that if you're going to add color to a piece then it's not a finished piece until you add the colors. So it's to be expected... that and the my pencil still suck.

trial and error is a big part of it, but I am creating quite a few tutorials. They'll help out a bit to, they'll be up sometime in the summer on my website once it goes up.

Keep in mind that you really don't want to do exactly what tutorials tell you to do, but keep it in mind and turn it into what you feel comfortable with.


Also here's a links that will help out as well. even more so.

Hot damn, no wonder you're so good.

And as for the pencils, I doubt that. You've got a good anatomically proportionate base for this.

I wanna learn to color digitally. What would you suggest as a good start? Any resources, or should I go the trial/error route..?

I knew it was you all along at Narutofan!

YAY!!! HAKU!!! (i guess you did remember my request... or for some other reasons? )

Damn Hunter-nin mask!! Why did you have to draw Haku in some sort of stealth mission!? WAAAH!!! I wanna see you're rendition of Haku's face!

Anyway... i both Haku and Zabuza... so

HAKU!!!!!

fucking a bro. i'm watching this series right now...when i first saw haku i could only think "oh god, not another amiguous he/she," but as the series goes on you learn of the intentions of this badass. great redition might i add, great colors, and i love the motion. it feels strange because of all of the color (bc the series lacks it, which i like). great stuff man
