Okay...no funky title for this one
lol This is my first attempt at computer coloring. I'm just wondering if I made it harder for myself than it had to be but from what I've read so far, I didn't. 
Anyway, please tell me what you think, and if you're good with computer coloring, please feel free to tell me how I can improve, either via comment or note. I did this without any sort of tutorial, but with some knowledge of PS7 Erm...and since this was a drawing I had already colored with Copic Marker, the bg isn't CGI yet. I may eventually get to that

i like this and infact its jsutbe come a what?? FAV!!! ahhhh ...but on tha real i love the way you colored this....my coloring style is a slight variatn...where you may uses diufferent colors for your lights and darks i use different layers of dodging and burning so that i can set transparencies on each color so that i can decide how i like the feel of the pic...but this has jsut recently become my habit....

O_o...
I've been attempting to CG things for a while now, and I STILL don't know what the crap I'm doing.
Your coloring looks far better than mine.
How in the world do you get the shading to look so smooth? Is there a secret tool I'm missing?

I just use the paint brush. But I'll try to tell you how I do it ^^
The secret to the colors is layers. I'll make a seperate layer for each area. So say I want to do the light skin tone. I make a layer called 'skin-light' (mostly for my reference when working with the different layers) and do all of the light tones, carefully avoiding the areas I marked to shade. Then I'll make a 'skin-dark' layer and put it below the 'skin-light' layer so that if I go over an area, it doesn't overlap that color. Then I just repeat the process.
That's how I do it now. That pic of Amon took me several hours to paint because I did it the hard way, basically going over the colors and making sure not to get into the other colors and over the black lines. It was tough work

^^ Thank you! My hand was really cramped after a while working on that. I had to take a loong break for it to feel normal again. But I'm really happy with how it came out.
