Description
The Pre-Civil War New Avengers! It's just too bad Ronin isn't in this lineup.
Lineart by my good buddy (and DA superstar) . Had a lot of fun coloring this, though I still feel it could have looked a lot better than it is now. Perhaps I'll recolor this in the future. I should start working on my own stuff for the time being. It's the only way I'll really improve.
Colored in Photoshop CS2 with an Intuos3. I lost count on how long I worked on this (spread over a couple of days).

ok.. here goes.. my first crit for you..
first off i think captain america looks fantastic.. out of the whole lot, with your coloring technique, you paid extra attention to him, from the look of it, because it doesnt look blurred in color.
however [grit your teeth for this bit 
if you held a shiney object - colored or no - to another differently colored object, it would do 1 of two things..
1. reflect the color from the other object onto it
2. reflect the actual other object onto it [because of the reflective surface of their clothing, in this instance]
so in theory, you're missing a vital thing, and that is reflection. but yeah i know you're new to this, so i'm trying to just put this in perspective [ie: DONT DO THIS PIC AGAIN lol.. you've done it once, and thats great.. just remember these rules for the next one]
how you create the lighting on their clothing - whether dull or shiney - will give a whole new level to your work.
also, try not to use such bright strong colors. if they were realistic [keeping in mind that i know you were going for the comic-y feel to this pic] then the colors would be more bland, so to speak.. such as more greyish colors, or duller colors.. when you see someone with brown hair, you dont just use flat brown and then go up the spectrum [or down] with flat browns.. you use different tones, or sometimes add different colors, to create new effects..
ok ok.. i'll stop there.. hehe.. if you want to hear more, let me know, and i'll continue.. [on to the next pic for some crit.. i hope this one helped you understand a bit more..]
