I bet you can colour like this too - basicly you need sharp colour pencils and patience. Lots of patience. A very useful tutorial book would be Learn to Draw the Figure by James Horton, since it explains how to shade with pencils, colour or not.

Hah, I could probably give it a try. xD Come to think of it, when I look at my art from about 2 years ago, I think "I was really THAT bad?" I suppose I could learn, seeing as I'm going through one of those figuring-random-techniques-and-styles phases. :3
Thanks, I might try to look at that book too, or dig up some of my old artbooks. x3

You do that! I remember some of my earlier drawings - I litterally copied other's linearts and replaced them with other characters. >> At least it learned me how people are usually built up.
Just remember two suggestions that I always follow when it comes to colour pencils:
1 - cross shade. That means that you can make each "stroke" cross eachother all the time. And alternative is to make them follow the shape of whatever it is you're colouring so that it doesn't look too flat. I usually do a mix.
2 - it's not illegal to use more than one colour! Basicly, the more colours you dare to use the better the result. What not many people are aware of is that things are reflecting on everything, it just depends on how strongly it'll reflect based on what the object is made of. An example is metal and a rock; a metal is shiny, a rock usually isn't (unless it's wet), so other colours are reflected much more strongly on a piece of metal.
Hopefully this can help you on your way. :3

Waai, thank you! xD I'll have to remember that. :3 Thanks for the tips! *snoogle*
