EDIT: took Silky's advice and used the burn and dodge toolsfor the skin tones. They're insanely easier, and I feel like a total rere for not figuring that out by now, but thanks for letting me know

The size makes it a bit difficult to see what I changed, but blown up in PS, it looked really much better.

------------------------------------------------------

ok, lemme say first that this lineart is not mine, but if anyone knows who it belongs too, please let me know so that i can give proper credit.

I took this and colored it simply because I loved the lineart and wanted to see what I could do in my snazzy new copy of cs3 as far as coloring goes. I didn't dare touch the background...I just don't do backgrounds.

on a side note, it was done as a oekaki, originally (or at least I think it would be classified as such) but I softened to lines after I colored the hair...I'm really picky about how I color Seph's hair (which is why the hair and I are in a love-hate relationship right now), and I wanted it to look as soft as possible...which made for the lines looking a little akward. I hope ppl don't tell me that I raped it D:

in any case, I'm submitting this more to see what others think of my photoshop coloring, now that it, at least in my eyes, has improved from [link]

I also didn't use any special brushes, since I wanted to see what I could get without them (and for some reason, photoshop on this compy doesn't like to let me download and/or use them)
