Lots of encouragement, people. Thank you! So... I'll continue!

That's the spirit!

[Aliya]

I for half of hour, colored only Alaja's hair... Mannnnn....

[WeeRLegion]

So how's it progressing? ^^

[Aliya]

Coloring id harder, than I thought, in the beginning... With a normal-sharp brush.

3-5 pixel brush!

Just to be sure.
You're using the airbrush now, right? Airbrush with maximum hardness?

Just, you know, wouldn't want to have you working with the wrong tools there, making things unnecessarily difficult. .p

[Aliya]

Yeeep, airbrush! And hardness too!

[Aliya]

Sheesh... I feel I'm gonna be sick...

But now, I'm coloring the Epantiras's picture, of mix dragon!

Wanna see?

Sure, as long as there's some color on it. ^^

[Aliya]

Original!

[Silinde Ar-Feiniel]

Aliya, i think it's one of the best colorings you've ever done! The shading is awesome! Great work! I see great progress!

Seconded!
Good color picks too. :]

[Icendoan]

Third'ed! Awesome colouring!

Icen

[Lythari]

Wow, it looks really great. You improved your skills very much.

[Epantiras]

As I said at DA, I really like how you've colored it

[Aliya]

Awww... Thanks guys!

And here's Sarevok! The lineart belongs fully to the glorious WeeR!



Enjoy, WeeRLegion!

[Silinde Ar-Feiniel]

Well, Aliya i think you get better and better

[WeeRLegion]

Ish good!


The leg armor plates look real good, the shoudler pads are doable, though you've used a bit too much smudge there. Now the chestplate. .p
Too much smudge there, little miss! .p
The reflection glares there look kinda like splashed bird-bombardment; the leg plate shinies are much neater, being solid and giving off a polished look.

I'd add some shading and highlighting on the face too, and as I said on DevART, a dark base color would have worked good with sarevok there, woulda hidden them nasty background whiteys.

It's quite simple, but I do like the overall feel of it, so good job!



Need any further practice pieces? .p

Some lineart, I wish color, next!






Well, well, well...

I guess, I don't need to explain who are they?

[WeeRLegion]

You do have an eye for detail. That's like, quite Impressive! @_@

I see you've improved on the hands quite well. Lot more natural now. a little... Thin and skinny fingers, but they're getting better. :]

The first one is a slight bit shouldery for a female. But the second one is quite good even in that aspect. :]

The first one also has her head attached quite right to the neck. Second one seems to have a bit of the old faulty look there, but overall, very good improvement there. :]

WeeR is right! You've improved. I see that you use much more small lines which have made the hair look much greater and natural comparing to your previous drawings. Also the heads seem more "humanized". Btw, I love the runes and details stuff on the clothes. Now that you can also color much better than before, try to keep them in the colored version. (in older drawings i remember some cool details to just dissapear because of too much blur and other not so carefull color adds) Believe me, the result will be...well...superb!
