Disclaimer: I'm not a colorist! In fact, this is my very first attempt at coloring anything and it took me forever!

Anyhow, I wanted to see what I could do with it so I watched a couple PS tutorials and took a shot! Maybe I'll find an exceptional colorist here on DA to collaborate with, but for now, I'm all that I have :)

Here's the link to my original sketch:[link]


Enjoy!

Looks great for a first time!! Heck, looks great for an anytime! Good job! I wish I could try to color some of my art, but that doggone Vista has no compatability with any good programs that I know of...wish I had XP!

Well done for a first coloring job. Nathan's black shirt is particularly striking.

Pickles' skintone irks me for some reason, dunno why. Oh well! Amazing drawing, in any case.

Damn, if this is your first time, I wanna see you when you get some practice under your belt!

It's wonderfully done, hon. Very nicely done.

And, CuriouslyHigh? The reason Pickles' skin tone bugs is he is too tan! ;-D He makes such a thing of being Irish American and burning in the sun in Bluesklok......

But I sill like! Maybe Pickles got some sun lately....

He passed out drunk by the picnic table.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that Pickles requested that I give him a tan...thought it would bring out his eyes! Ha! Glad you like Nathan's shirt! I'm sure I'll get better the more I practice but I'm happy with the overall outcome:)

Thanks for commenting~

Awww shucks! Yeah, it was a lil daunting at first but I finally started to get a groove about midway thru. I think you're right about the practicing/getting better part...this took me forever!It was worth it tho.

Thanks for the supportive comment and fave!

Thanks Gabe! I really appreciate that man! Yeah I keep hearing negative reviews about the whole Vista thing...not compatible with anything! I did hear that you have the option now to switch back to XP...not sure how it works, but I read it somewhere recently.


Thanks again!

And loved the original sketch of it too!
Great work, man
