Digital Coloring

Sat Oct 3, 2009, 7:19 PM
As most of you probably noticed, my digital coloring technique sucks. I basically just dodge/burn and that's that. As I view myself as a 'tradional' media artist (black ink, mostly) this has never really bothered me. My digital stuff is just quicky-for-fun.

But I got to talking with friends last night and thought, can I do better?
I'd sort of like to improve my digital coloring. I'd likely still dodge/burn for most stuff, but sometimes I draw something I want to color in Photoshop that demands some effort be put into it.

So anyone have suggestions in regards to digital coloring tutorials and such?
I've got a "practice" project in the works that i'm playing with. Feathers, smooth skin, hair, scales, cloth, leather, metal...it's got enough different textures in it to offer some room to practice with many different coloring techniques. So, my friends, watchers, stalkers, and random peeps, link me to digital coloring tips!






*Why, yes, I AM too lazy to go hunt down digital coloring tutorials on my own.*
