I colored one of the linearts from way back when ... and I WILL go back and find who it is and edit the post to say so, but for now I've got to run to the store. My first try with OpenCanvas... hm. I kind of like the program ^_^

Hey ^_^ What luck ! And after I went back through all the posts and somehow couldn't find the post where I got it so I could credit you sweatdrop lol (Don't know how I managed to, but I did)

Am I allowed to post a tip? Not that I'm any good, but I think everyone enjoys a little feedback, and as I was going over a few of the last batch of colorings I noticed most people had the same problem: a reliance on the dodge/burn tools. The problem with the tools is that instead of shading your color, its gradually turning your color to black (burn) or white (dodge) and most things don't turn black in shadows or have pure white highlights. It's better to choose your own shadow colors that have some saturation to them rather than just pure black -- it'll make everything look richer. And then highlights same thing, use more saturated colors rather than just pure white to highlight things.

Just pointing something out. Using the airbrush or paintbrush in Photoshop with a chosen shadow color at a low opacity will be just as easy to use as the doge tool (just have to be a little less messy and careful not to color outside the lines) but everything should look richer.

ESPECIALLY ON SKINTONES.

Okay. Sorry if I'm coming off as a "know-it-all" or something, it's just something I've picked up (still not very good, but I just do it for fun so... sweatdrop ).



My coloring style is just bright because, I don't usually use the burn and dodge tool all to often ( their anoyying on my opinion lol )

I dug around in my oekaki folder and found some lines (one of these is super old, but might still be fun for someone to color). I've colored all of these myself (or will have, once I finish Inuyasha), but I hate to take lines from this thread and not contribute any of my own.

(I tacked my name on all the file names, because I know it's a pain to try to remember who did what lines XD)

*gasp* You're the Clarion on OekakiCentral!!! I love your artwork there!! I always wanted to color your art in the coloring book but never had time (nor patience razz )
You're such a talented artist, your work in the main hall is outstanding.
