If you use this... I would feel very happy if you gave a little bit of credit to this tutorial ^w^ But you don't have to... also, if you try coloring something with this~ Send me a note with the link! You can also try coloring this lineart, the link is down below and might be used for my coloring contest! ^w^ Thank you~!

Soo~ Here we go!! ^o^

I decided to make another Color Pencil tutorial, because I've gotten a lot of requests for a new one (The old one was... EVIL *__*) and I decided I wanted to finish one and inspire more people to try traditional art ^__^ It takes lot of practice... but practice makes perfect, right? <3

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! ^w^ I realize that the tutorial can be very confusing, so don't feel hesitant to ask anything! >w<

This is interesting. Different than what I ususally do (but probably better).
I should try this on my next picture.

On a completely unrelated subject, what kind of program would you use for digital coloring? I love the look, and I would love to get something and try it.

Aww~

Why don't you use them? D:

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

OmTivi In reply to Tajii-chan [2009-05-04 14:34:14 +0000 UTC]

Because I'm doing tons (10+) of pictures at once and most of them are digital. D8 I intended to practice my digital colouring, but I miss my dear colour pencils... ._. And I hate the fact that I can't get that soft and warm effect in my colouring. D':

I wanna use random colours... but my obsessive-compulsive mind doesn't let me.

Tajii-chan In reply to OmTivi [2009-05-04 17:17:58 +0000 UTC]

Ahh~ I see ;w;

Ah~ Why don't you try coloring them in with color pencils though~?

D:< No!!

Use the random colors! It's fun! <3

OmTivi In reply to Tajii-chan [2009-05-04 23:00:31 +0000 UTC]

Because... the actual drawings are so small! They're the size of pocket notebook! D8 I can't colour them tidily... (And again, my obsessive-compulsive mind doesn't let me stray from the "rules" D8)

TT^TT

It is fun, but I'm the opposite of you--I draw "realistic" things more often than random ones, and now I'm frustrated because I can't convince myself to go crazy once in a while! TT^TT NOOO!

I doodled something colourful yesterday... I was so happy I got to play with random colours. :'D I coloured it without thinking at all... It felt so fun! 8D

My friends make me crazy. Too bad I'm more of a loner than a socializer. D8

Thank you... 83

Kurama-chan In reply to ??? [2009-04-08 16:37:34 +0000 UTC]

So you start coloring with the darkest color XD The total opposite of me XD
I think start coloring by the darkest can be a problem if you commit en error, because it's hard to erase.
And it also can blur the pic if it is black color, for example.
But it's just my opinion ^^

Good work at doing a tutorial ^^

Tajii-chan In reply to Kurama-chan [2009-04-08 16:57:46 +0000 UTC]

Ah~ Well I do the outline with a dark color, just as a guideline ^__^ I shade in with the lightest, and then build on top of that with a darker color <3 Soo~ It's a bit of opposition for both ;D

Yeah~ I know how hard that is~ ToT

XD I always do the black coloring last... Because it ALWAYS smears when I brush my hand against the paper while I'm coloring..

Kurama-chan In reply to Tajii-chan [2009-04-08 17:53:20 +0000 UTC]

Aaah, I understand XD

Yes, black is a color that can blur a lot if you start with it ;__;

Tajii-chan In reply to Kurama-chan [2009-04-08 18:15:03 +0000 UTC]



That's why black has always been considered an evil color!
