Here I come with the bright colours again! I don't know why, but I can't seem to colour anything with dark/dull colours recently.
I fell in love with this Kobato splash at first glance, so it's a must-colour page. Part of the line art may look a bit weird because I had to re-draw it when I shopped out the text. I'm quite pleased with the result this time, minus her eyes and her clothings. As you may have noticed already, I had absolutely no idea how to shade clothes realistically (it has always been my biggest weakness, yes), and it kind of ruined the whole picture to me in the end. It would be fantastic if anyone can give me some advice to fix the messiness.
Also, shame on Photoshop for still not allowing me to use pen pressure and completely wasting my tablet.
X-posted to manga_colors because I seriously need help with her clothings >__>;;
Also, Happy 1st Anniversary to myself! ♥
On the same day (May 19th) last year, I finished my first digital manga colouring ever in my life! I still remember spending 30 hours on this thing and having no clue at all what to do. That one was not really manga, but oh well. xD Manga colouring is one of the best hobbies that I've ever found in my fandoms. It was a nice year of experimenting and discoveries, and going from this
to this
.
(Alright, enough ranting for my old icons. It's embarrassing to show them off now >__<;;) But omg, having 170 watchers was something that I would never have dreamed of last year.
Hopefully I can get better in the future, and an extremely huge thank you to everyone who enjoyed my colourings this year! I wouldn't have continued without your support!
