Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hi. I just want to say that I followed the guide in the sticky here. Wow.. my coloring just got like a bajillion times better already! Thanks so much for letting me join here. My coloring will really better. I color part time in a shop called Fox Wolf Sanctuary. They took me on as a newbie colorist. If I were to show you teh ones I did for halloween versus ones I'm working on now for Valentine's day.. wow... just wow..

Can you guys also give me some tips on doing certing? As I would probably be doing that in PSP too. Do I just use layers to add text the way I did in the lineart?

Yvette the shop owner says I can show you guys... so, let me show you the foxwolves I did for halloween.. then, I'll show you some I did last night after using the guide in the sticki. Not andi's.. that one looked helpful too.. but, Nazi's guide seemed a little simpler as i'm new to this and starting out. Once I master the level i'm at.. i'll try ms Andi's guide and see if I can improve my skills even more.

and for credit... Lineart was originally drawn by Mutaki. The foxwolf shop was originally owned and ran by RhodyChica, but she passed it on to YvetteEmilie Dupont. I color for her, and I have permission to show some of my work...

Ok. So, here is one I did for halloween:

and, now, here is one I've been working on that are valentine's gifts for the shop regulars who have supported us even though the shop itself isn't doing very well in terms of popularity.

now.. i want to show another one which i feel is much better than older work.. but I was able to see that I needed a lighter color for the highlighting. It kind of made it look too plasticy.
