Description aa sorry for the late artist comment ;v;
so yea this is the grown up version of my previous 2 ocs. the demon oc basically went through an evolution period bahahahahaha (6v9)

im also still practicing this sort of coloring style, but i think im going to take a break and go for the less consuming time kind of coloring instead next time. my free time is forever scarced now orz

oh and i wont be replying to messages till monday. im using ipad to type right now and it gets irritating at times ;;;;

Wow, looks great
Wish I could color like that

If you don't mind, may I ask you what and how you learned to draw and color like this? I know that practice, practice and more practice is the key to becoming better, but some directions as to what I should look at might be nice. I know this is probably a hard question to answer, sorry

89pixels In reply to TwinDragonsComic [2012-01-10 06:41:48 +0000 UTC]

aaa thank you very much ;v;

LOL naww that's okay i get questions rather a lot heheh XD
well regarding questions like this, you can go to my faq!

but basically what i do is that i observe a lot. maybe, narrowing first the type of coloring you want to achieve might help too? there's the painting style, the hard-cell style, well i don't really know about the names hahah +v+

and then from there, what i usually do is that i look up for references that has those styles (or similar styles) and try to understand how they shade it and everything. you can start by trying to learn an artist that you really look up to and has the coloring style that you're trying to achieve, but i wouldn't really recommend to only focus on one artist since you might just end up copying the whole artist's style, which as far as i know, is not a good idea for both parties ;;;

instead, try to look up to several artists and mix and mesh some part of their styles to create your own in the future

and what else... oh try to decide what program you're going to use to draw. in my case i use sai and photoshop for touch ups. try to understand first how all the tools work. this require constant experimenting

im not very good when it comes to tutorials, but for photoshop i usually go to this site called crunchyroll.com and they usually have all these photoshop groups that sometime give out tutorials. or not, just simply browse google and youtube. they have tons of PS tutorials

for SAI, i dont really use that much of tutorials since mostly i just experiment myself, but some tutorials that i use can be found in DA. you can try to type things such as 'painting SAI paint tool tutorial' in the search engine or 'soft CG sai paint tool tutorial' or so on. or simply join SAI/PS groups that provide tutorials.

ah sorry for the super long answers +_+ but i hope i helped even just a bit!

AAAAAAaaaaaAAaaaa WHY ARE THEY BOTH SO AMAZING AND SEXY SO THAT I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THE HALO WENT WITH THE DEVIL WINGS AND VICE VERSA FOR A WHOLE FIVE MINUTES OF STARING? It does not matter how you color them they are always fantastic and deserve all the love. Even the background. Especially the background, in this case *stares, and drools, and stares some more*

Good luck with the technology, it is all secretly evil and likes to interrupt your typing with its own messages, mostly random letters you didn't mean to put in there.

Ah! And great choice of color on the blonde guys shirt! It compliments his appearance and makes him look radiant.

Touchscreen is so annoying to type on right?! I keep messing up on typing on those cuz my fingers slip.
Not a fan of touchscreen phones.
