Seeing as there's a fair bit more traffic here than at my blog, I'm imploring you all for help. I need help digitally colouring this. I really want to make this and two other pages work, but I'm not really sure how to go about doing it. If anyone has any tips or tutorials for digital colour that they tend to like to fall back on, could you point me in a certain direction (even a tutorial on DA, because I know there are a number of amazing ones floating around)
The other thing is how do YOU go about colouring a digital piece from sketchiness to finish. And what do you think I should do -- add finished lines, or make it a no line all shape piece. Help guys. Please Oh, and to see the progress or, should I say, how I want it to look, please check out my blog at www.idlesiren.blogspot.com If you'd rather leave a comment there, please do |

Personally, I kinda like the messy look to this. It adds a lot of character. Combined with the expression it really make sit pop. Post more! :]

For me, I sketch the basic stick pose, add some basic lumps of where details so be and then go in and attempt a full out ink of it. I usually redo the ink several times but I get there eventually
You should do it how you feel comfortable, though I kind of like the idea of more play= more color ^^
My procest looks a lot like what you are doing right now. I do try to include a lot of information into the sketch, or make it as clean as possible. And when I have trouble coloring something I'll go back to the sketch and try to do a colored version to see if I can figure out what the hell I'm doing wrong. Like this one...[link] [link]
So that is a very simplified explanation of what I do. As for what you should do, I dont know. In the end its going to come down to what you think looks nice and you find possible to do. I always think that when you dont do lines you limit the background posibilities because you have to be always thinking about your character not getting lost in the background. With lines it is a bit easier to control that. Also, I was going through your gallery again, and I like the way you do lines.
I hope some of this information is helpful. Good luck with the rest of the proyect.
