Description
Colored version of Jean Grey from the X-Men.This is my first illustration with added inks & colors. I hope it is not so bad for almost a total beginner in coloring.
I know there are many talented colorists here on deviantart, so if there is anyone who is interested in adding colors to my works he is very welcome for cooperation.

Nice work Peter. Michiganj24 beat me to the punch on the advice about shadng/coloring in the same idrection when ever posible! The only other advice I can offer when coloring in a pic is to look at the pic that you are about to color in and consider where the "light source" is vs the subject matter and use that to your advantage. Also think about how the body curves, dimples, and creases in vrious positions. This can add texture and/or shadow depending on how you choose to color it in. Looking forward to seeing more of you work in the future!

Thanx! Always much appreciated!
I think it is a bit harder to operate with just ordinary/organic colors (color pencils) in comparision to special paint program with many different fuction and greater choice of colors. I'm looking forward to experiment with various coloring tehniques in the future.
And as I said before; every talented colorist like yourself is always welcome to color my work.

Truthfuly so far I find markers/ink/pencils easier to work with than the colors on the computer for my begining work. I tend to only use the computer to corect errors or flubs that I have made during my manual coloring process or adding a background from another source material. But I am a bit of an old school type being the age that I am.

Not bad for a beginner colorist. Only advice is try to have all the lines go teh same way when coloring in

Hey, thanks!
Your support means a lot to me.
Yeah, sometimes I still have a problem to decide what is better to use for shading & lines; ink, ordinary black pencil or both of them.

Thank you so much, my friend!
Yeah, she is my fave one, so I have choosen her for my first (superheroine related) colored artwork.
I rather speak about her in present tense, since she is very much alive (either as the White Phoenix or as Hope)
