Description
So i've been getting really self conscious about my coloring style for a while... and if it was appealing or something ;;; Therefore i wanted to try emulating different coloring styles from different artists that i happened to come by.It was really fun! But it was really hard too because it's so hard to tell what the artist is thinking and how they shade a certain way when you're just looking at the end product of their work Two of the coloring methods are my own though, without using a direct influence.
i apologize to the artists (if they can recognize it lol) for using and butchering their coloring style hahah o<-<
At the moment i'm not sure what i'm going to try, but i always feel weird for being so inconsistent;; I would really like to try and come up with my own, comfortable yet appealing coloring style that i can stick with.
Medium: Adobe photoshop CS5, Wacom Intuos4 tablet
Model: Nikolai belongs to me

The one on the bottom left looks the best to me, because it's the one that makes him look more angular and otherworldly.

I personally prefer it when you shade the faces a bit more, they end up looking "flat" to me otherwise... ;;;
Have to say though, my fav is probably the bottom middle. Gorgeous work on the hair. o/

Ahh yeahhh that's true ;7; That's probably my biggest problem with the 5th one-- the flat coloring doesn't suit my style i think.
Thanks Sprite! The hair was fun to do in that style~

Hahah the 1st one is my most basic shading method! I'm happy you like that one haha
π: 0 β©: 1
LOL. I think it works. I sometimes am not a fan of the overworked shading. I think it can work for some styles, but I think for the head you've drawn- the simple shading works very well.

Ahh so the more cel-shaded kinda huh? : D

They all look nice, but the sixth one looks best in my opinion.
