Description I know I haven't uploaded anything in quite a while, and that's mainly because I haven't done anything. At least nothing that I can or would want to show. But lately, I've been getting back into doing warmup coloring, aka just taking random sketches off the web and coloring them for the hell of it. I find that it's definitely important to do art just for fun every now and then, so that it doesn't turn into a boring job routine (which kills the motivation for me).
Also it's a great way to just try shit out and experiment. I still think I'm way too slow so I'm trying to up my speed as well, which up to now I haven't succeeded in doing (these were all between 1 and 2 hours each).

So yeah, I didn't feel like uploading every piece individually here, so I just put them all into one piece. If you want to take a look at a bigger version (which I kind of recommend since none of these have anything to do with each other, and should actually stand alone) then check this [link] .

Oh I know it wasn't all one piece together. I guess I meant since it was a pinup the bg color doesn't really get much notice but that's what I liked a lot.

FabianMonk In reply to darkside-ky [2007-04-16 20:17:48 +0000 UTC]

Haha, yeah I realise he doesn't really fit in with the rest, but whatever. It was more of a fun little excursion in terms of lineart style.

It sure had been a while. This looks more than warm up to me. You're seriously a professional. Great work!

FabianMonk In reply to 4Anime [2007-04-16 20:13:00 +0000 UTC]

Yeah up to 2 hours probably doesn't really count as warmup anymore anyways, haha. I really get too caught up in details all the time. And thanks!

man! you have become one of the best colorers ive seen.
how much taht means, i leave to you, hehehe
But seriously, those are some KICK-ASS coloring jobs. so much texture, so much color integrated into the lighting, AND it makes sense.

really good man, keep on drawing for fun, and only for fun. The mind is the only obstacle

I'll definitely try and work this into some kind of habit, so that I do a lot more of these. Thanks for the kind words dude, totally appreciated!

alljack In reply to ??? [2007-04-16 17:45:35 +0000 UTC]

I just dont get bored at looking at your coloring, tis really nice n fresh. I prefer your more er, natural light things as opposed to things that look more spotlit as you seem to hit the nail on the head... with added pretties!

Whats your deal with the lineart? do you do a bit of inking yourself or do you just go straight into working over? the sketches? ;o

Whatchoo working on anyway? Tis a shame you aint updated in a while...

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

FabianMonk In reply to alljack [2007-04-16 20:08:29 +0000 UTC]

For these I didn't do any inking. I just went straight to colors from the pencils. But even in general I almost never ink. It can happen that I ink, occasionally, but only once every five thousand years almost.
Currently I'm interning at a studio here in Berlin, and we're working on a comic.

Thanks for the compliments too!
