True I probably love blk & wht drawings more than color but, then I spent years drawing blk & whit portraits and I love the Twilight Zone from the 1959-1964.

Nice use of uh...perspective.

Love the coloring what did tools did you use to get the color so smooth and even?

nickleboy In reply to aerofiend [2007-01-08 21:02:00 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. I'm using Photoshop CS 9. I basically laid down the base colors as flats with the pen tool and then I added all the other colors on different layers (airbrush) with different levels of opacity. I think it makes it easy for me to built the skin tones but then you still need to know where to apply your highlights, warm and cool colors too.
