Hehe. :3 It's mostly in the mind, cause the process can be fairly easy. If you know what to shade first and last all you need to remember is to colour with light colours first, and always start out with a light touch and then harder the more it turns into what you're having in mind. Crossing the lines is a fair technique I learned at school, but sometimes it can be smart to let the lines follow the volume's shape too. That's it, really.

I'll admit it's faster to colour in black and white, so that can be a good starters and then work on colours later.

I did! :"D I like the affect all the different colors make x] It was kinda weird, cuz despite it being my frist time coloring like that, it was like I knew exactly what colors went together O.o I was like "Whoa o.o" :giggle:

How did you decide what colors to use?

Hmm - first it's the basics I suppose, like yellow or blue etc, colours the pencils actually have. Then I make that colour darker, for example with orange, red, purple os something. And then.... use a completly different colour - like green on the skin or red on blue shadows. it's weird but it's logical - everything next to eachother will reflect the other's colour, it's just more visible when it's on a shiny surface like metal rather then normal fabric. This is how a drawing becomes more different and realistic than if you were to only use base colours and just darken those. You just play around with the colours and see what becomes of it! :giggle:
