Thanks dan! Now teach me how to color this MFer! Or better yet, just color this so its done right! lol
I just got this tablet and doing something like this takes me for-friggin-ever! (nothing compared to the way of the mouse of course) U got any tips or good reference sites for some tips? My stuff is coming out kinda washed out and too monochrome cause i don't have a real good sense of color yet.

Well the best way to get better with colors is to do one piece after the other, they don't even have to be big pieces, simple ones can do and you don't need to even finish them if you don't want to. And they don't even need to be pieces that you've drawn yourself, because it's easier to practice on things that are already done, but if you want to take the longer road and stick with your own work that can be more beneficial in that your sticking with your own work and making that look good as you improve. Although coloring other people's works makes for faster improvement, being that you don't have to create a new piece after finishing one. As far as tutorials go I saw a really good one a while back from a digital artist that posts here, but for the life of me I can't find it or him on youtube so easily, and I've got a big friends list which can be hard to find someone if they were just added recently and don't post often.

Thanks dan, yeah i get what you mean about working on other peoples work vs my own. I think i'd better stick to my own tho cause its the only way right now that i can make myself sit down and draw haha I think its just a matter of practice practice tho, so thats what i'll try to keep doin, along with working on developing more patience with it.
