hi Sweetie,

your skills are just exploding and growing in all directions.! I like how you put that flare on the knife because that makes it a hardsurface. The folds and wrinkles in the jeans look cool. You know how to build the shadows and high light the center of the wrinkle to make it look three demensional. I think you have coloring the hair just right.

I think the Inker over did it with the inking on the leather jacket. He put so much inking on the leather jacket that there is not too much to color.

awesome coloring !!

Hi Stacy!
Thanks so much for your precious share.
I'm really sorry but I couldn't answer before.

Let's talk about your job.
You have good colouring skills.
I really like the hair texture, the glow on the knife, and some other fine details.

Even if I'm not a colourist, I'd like to give you some suggestions on other aspects
Try to avoid of using a thousand Photoshop special effects, I mean the texture you used for the fog below.
Maybe you can obtain a better effect using just pure colours without nuance I mean, that can overlap each others.
When you have to colour a draw rich of Black and White, you need to use basic colours without too many shades.
So, more the draw is rich of shadows, more the colour has to be basic.

For explaining better what I mean, glance at the colourist work for that great drawer:
[link]
Look at the colour on the face.
You have just 3 pure colours overlapped.
I guess that's the secret.
Moreover, use different colours whenever you want to split the draw levels.
For instance, make the fog different from the wall...you can make it white or yellow, or another colour, in order to obtain a difference.

I hope I gave you the right input.

Evidently you HAVE a talent for it, just find the right method for every kind of draw and all done.

Keep in touch, my friend!
;o)
