the picture i sent in friday. took almost 3 hours to color because i tried a new technique. At least ten layers, almost each color has it's own layer. I'm willing to show tuts to those who need to learn how to color in Photoshop/GIMP... same basic systems.

done in Gimp

DawnyaBURNAhhh i feel like critiquing.

It's a good picture, don't get me wrong. But there are some things that make it wonky. I'll start with, uh, the dress. The... hem? skirt? Whatever it is I forget what it's called. it's too random. It looks like a seven year old drew random lines all over it and you didn't bother erasing them. Try making the lines graceful instead of HOMG JAGGED!!

Also, you need to color inside the lines. The easiest way to do this is to use the Magic Wand tool, but that's still somewhat of a drag if you use the Paint Brush Tool for inking your lineart because... It won't fill it all and you gotta go back over it and blah. I don't know how you set up your layers, but the best way is Lineart on top, and colors on bottom. Not everyone does this, but it's the best way if you want to color without effecting your lines. Plus, it's easier to go back and erase if some color's popped out of the lines. Like I said, I don't know how you set up layers. But gfhjsgfjsdhfgsjf whatever.

Your anatomy is kinda wonky. But so is mine, so I guess I can't really talk. Most of it is pretty good, but her hand is off. Majorly. Use your own hand as a reference. I should take my own advice. -draws hands like a five year old-

The hair is really good. Maybe put more detail in the lineart. The coloring makes it look seperate, but the lineart makes it look like one big clusterfrack. But that's all to do with personal style. So forget I said anything.

HAY SPEAKING OF LINES. Try tapering. If you don't know what tapering is, it's basically thinning the tips of the lines so they look sharper and crisper. Tapered > Untapered. When you taper lines, it just LOOKS better.

auuuugh i can't think of anything else.

murrrrr. c:
