Description
So, I tried coloring again. And it didn't really work out, but I still feel like I've made progress.This didn't come out how I envisioned it - the colors are garish and too bright, and no matter how many times I tried, I could never get the exact color I wanted.
This is only the second time I've ever tried to do full digital coloring, so I would really like some criticism/advice on this one, if that's okay. I know I'm not good at this at this point, but I really want to learn.
Oh, and to answer your question, no, I have no idea what this thing is or what the heck is wrong with me.

Decent work on the drawing man. Some feedback, as you specifically wanted it, it depends what you want first, I would advise that you decide at the beginning of the painting what style or 'look' for the painting that you want. Then research and paint according to that objective.

Oh yeah, adding the colours brings like this whole new dimension to your works. Subtle but it fits so well.

Its a great design, but I feel that the organic parts take away from the whole. if it was an abstract stone version of the organics, blockier and golem-like, or if they were absent enitirely, then it would be a bit more solid in my opinion. Ah well, in the end it is just my opinion.

Interesting; I might have to play around with that idea! That was helpful; thanks for the feedback!

This is really interesting, if you ask me. I definitely like the creativity with this one.
As for the coloring, I'm happy that you're trying more. I'm also happy to see that you're adding a bit of color here and there. I like to see that in your drawings.
Although you may think as if it isn't good enough (your coloring), I think it's fantastic! It really brings your drawings to life. c:

Wow, I really love the design! The stone tentacles (?) look absolutely brilliant!
I find digital colouring of traditional linework hard in general...it tends to turn out very weird for me as well, which is why I've switched to all-digital at one point. ^^

Wow, really? Thank you! That means a lot.
Yeah, the two don't always seem to mesh very well. To remove the white from my original scan, it reduced the picture to 2 bits so the black lines got all thick and harsh. So that was causing problems right away. Trying to draw all-digital might be a better idea. Thanks for the input!
