Ah! I almost forgot that picture  The colouring really does improve it. I must admit. Its very basic but, for a first time colouring its damn impressive! I'm really supprised it looks that way for a first attempt, its very good  If I had anything to add its, just keep practicing! I'm sure most of the artists (me included) wouldnt mind you using any other pictures to practice with. |

Well good tried just a hint: If yo uwant to shade with airbrush and you dont plan to make a dark backround, try not to use "black" as a color for the shadow. Instead, choose a less saturated (depends on how o uwant the light to be strong), more reddish yellow, almost like orange. The shadow must retain some f the original yellow color. |

Thanks to all of you.
@SimpReal
I don't know how to use airbrush for shading, so I'm colouring all in dark and use glow tool to highlight the area.

If you colored it in photoshop, you can also try using Dodge Color and Burn Color to create highlights and shadows. I also use that for my pics and I think it gives the pics a pretty nice shading.

In this pic I used different technique. And I was not very successful.  SuusjeI am using Painter 9 and I don't know all features yet. PS Thanks Gustavo for the original http://realities.simpworks.com/image/495 and permission to publish this pic. |

mmaavvThe picture looks nice, and it's good that you're trying different techniques. If you need some con-crit, the lines are a bit shaky, and the resulting picture was saved in JPEG with the quality not high enough. But aside from that, it's very good job, and the colored picture looks even magical to me. Love the shading on Lisa's hair especially - it looks so natural and cute! The background in nicely done, too. Thanks both to you and Gustavo.

Hello, mmaavv. The first pic. Quite good colouring, can't say more, while has painted nothing with my own hands.  What's up to me it looks very well. And the second one, Alone. A nice job too, especially I like the effect of drawing with oil paints. Yeah, nice colouring. I see you have co-operated with Gustavo for granting to you the drawings for colouring. Do you have your own pictures? If the answer "yes", well, you already know following request. And continue to master the technologies of drawing as in special programs, and with own hand. Maybe it even will be useful! |

DagdamorThanks. Lines suppose to be "shaky". In the next picture it would be different. Then I use 100% quality settings for JPEG size of the file is 415Kb. What quality do you want ? in "PSD" format it takes 5Mb. The next pic already has a size of 13Mb in "RIF". Sorry for late reply. YggdrasillUnfortunately I don't have my own pictures in PC  yet, but it's just a matter of time - free time And I have some pictures made with pencil but it's kinda silly and not simpsons related.

mmaavvThen I use 100% quality settings for JPEG size of the file is 415Kb. What quality do you want ? Well, 400 Kb is too big for a picture like that, but 36 Kb isn't enough either.  Try saving your pictures with the quality of 75-85%. Usually this produces not too heavy files (100-200 Kb) with decent quality.

*slight bumple* AloneThats good, cant say I've heard of the program before but, its certainly commendable The only thing bugging me is Lisa's skin tone. I wish sombody would explain to me also... when yellow goes dark, dows it go greenish or orangeish? For some reason, I've *never* got it right  Anyway, wheee! I like it I think its good practice, on Gustavo's work. Definatly benefits the peice. Hope to see more |

I wish sombody would explain to me also... when yellow goes dark, dows it go greenish or orangeish? For some reason, I've *never* got it right it is an interesting subject… it depends on the imagination of each one… in the drawing there are no precise rules… but in absence of light. the bodies do not reflect light… of there to that they are greenish… the tone orangeish is a reflection of the skin …. (very pleasant) … normally it is obtained in scenes with light Nevertheless…. all this is subjective… "friend the color of the skin tones is a reflection of the feelings that are wanted to express in the drawing" … greenish reflects sadness…. orangeish reflects joy…. but everything is subjective…. PS: THANKS MMAAVV! is a honor |
