I love trying out new digital coloring styles! C:
Any tips for digital coloring? (I just started this month, and I'm up for trying different styles.)
Well, my tips for coloring digitally would be to go nuts with the colours. XD Experiment and use different colours instead of one colour and a darker/lighter shade of it for shading and lighting. But I think you're doing a very good job with it, so I guess the only advice I have is to be patient. XD Some parts are less fun to draw/colour than others, but with some patience, it can really pay off!
I think that's all I can offer.
As for styles... Maybe you can try copying a style of an artist? Try to learn how they colour by looking at their pictures. Just to get a hang of it and see what technique fits you better and which techniques you don't like.
Sorry I'm not much help... I'll try coming up with more things!
Ugh, I hate coloring skin so much, XD. (My characters are pretty pale, so I'm paranoid about them looking too tan...) Hair (especially pale blonde hair) is also a pain. (Do you have any coloring tips for characters with pale blonde hair?)
I agree; that makes a lot of sense. Most of the time, once I finish a piece, there's something about it I want to fix, so I'm always up for editing later.
That's a good idea, too! ^^
Actually, you helped a lot!
