Thank you so, so much, a million times over to everyone who commented on the two posts; you were all extremely helpful. As I said, I'm a complete beginner to this, so welcome all criticism (as long as it's constructive, that is; comments like "well, that's just bad" don't help me get any less bad D

That looks so cool o-o You colored that yourself? Photoshop kicks my ass. I can't even textset for scanlations ^^;;

[napkins]

Oh man, if you think this is good, you should see some of the stuff people on my flist do o.0 they're amazing. But yeah, I did this, as procrastination from the history final that's due today ^^ Thanks! <3

:D I like typesetting for scanlations; it's fun and actually kinda relaxing it's cleaning the scans that gets to you orz I can show you how to do it, if you'd like ^^

Eee, good job! It looks really nice. :D I think your shading is good!

[napkins]

<3<3 Thank you! It's so different than shading for colored icons, so I'm still all twitchy about it, lol

[rimon]

Is it? I have no idea what shading for icons is like. XD

[napkins]

It's usually a lot less intensive, since a lot of details get lost when the image gets resized. a-and mistakes get covered a lot more easily in icons...

TANEMURATONES NEED TO DIE IN A FIRE.

I was going to colour a bunch of SDC icons, and then gave up because asoihglakhlcvksdhglaskhdfsd SCREENTONES, WISPY HAIR, oasihdgalksdhogihalksdhfkla

Kaori Yuki doesn't use screentones as much as Tanemura D8. And this is coming from experience, too /o/. Kaori Yuki just has very sketchy artwork, and complex hair.

blargh. BTW I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT NEW ONE. ABOUT...FORTUNE OR SOMETHING. IT LOOKS HAPPY FOR ONCE but will probably turn emo after three volumes.

It's looking so much better from the last time ♥♥! My one gripe right now is probably the fact that compared to the face, the hands have next to no shading, and the toning just looks different from the fact, so they look really detached - as if they were someone else's hands XDDD.

I do like the eyes though~

[napkins]

Thanks! ♥ ahaha, I did notice that the second time I put this up, but by then I was all "ALSKDJFASDF I NEED TO STOP WITH THIS PANEL", and my eyes were starting to blur...>_>;; But yeah, I think I did the hands first with the same tone as the face, and then just ended up adding so much more shading to the face and neglecting to scroll down and do the hand *FAIL GET* shh, they are someone else's hands; someone decided to play the "LOL, I'm being your hands" game with Akito out of the blue :'D

I'm finding I really like coloring eyes ^^

thanks much
