~About My Art~
Tools of the Trade:
0.5 Mechanical pencil, with twist eraser
Sketchbook
Microns
Prismacolor pencils
Prismacolor markers
Charcoal (from time to time)
Computer
--Operating System: Windows XP Home
--Programs: openCanvas (1.0, 3 plus, and 4 plus), Adobe Photoshop 7.0, Adobe Illustrator 10
--Tablet: Wacom Graphire II (Gah I neeeed a new one ;.; )
Coloring Styles:
Mostly soft-shading, though I've been experimenting with cel-shading here recently.
Methods:
When coloring in openCanvas, I use one of two methods. Either make one multiple layer for base color and highlights, and another for shading (both above the lineart) ... or make seperate standard layers for each color, including the highlights and shadows (below the lineart).
For colored pencil, I start with the lightest color possible and layer up to get shadows and so on.
Same for markers, for the most part. XD

~Art Examples~
Lineart and Coloring by Me:
Misguided Angel. This one is meant to have more of a "sketchy" style to it. Used a combination of standard and multiple layers to color.
Justice - Tarot Story. Lineart done with Microns. Example of my semi-cel-shading. XD Done for Meepfur.
Kakashi Cosimal. Done for my Cosimals Shoppe. Lineart done in Illustrator and color in Photoshop.
Waiting for You. Just a colored pencil example ^^ Don't think I have any marker samples ...
Color by Me:
Chibi Rufus. Lineart by Demi`chan
My Little ... Discord?. Done for a friend, as a gift from my MLP shop. Lineart by SilverPelt.
My Little Vincent. Also done for MLP shop ... lineart edits by me. Original lineart by SilverPelt.
Work in Progress:
Calendar Boys of ParaChiMar (colored). Lineart by endejester. Using the multiple layers method on this one, so far, got the base colors down.
