Basic Coloring Tips - A Text
Basic Coloring Tips - A Text
so, lately ive been getting (almost daily) notes from deviants asking on coloring tips. and while i never mind helping others and thats one of the biggest foremost reasons im on dA, i find that im repeating a lot of the same basic tips. so i thought it might be helpful to some of you if i were to just make some of this general knowledge public and...whatnot.
so first thing i always get are people asking me how i pick colors?
first thing i always say is, color theory! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory http://colortheory.liquisoft.com/ and http://www.colormatters.com/colortheory.html
that last one has a good little mind blowing point

Yup.
Months of work, excited secrecy and inking are all paying off.
I'm so sorry I haven't been able to shout it to the rooftops, but being under a non-disclosure agreement tends to do that to you.
I'm excited to say that one of the titles I've worked on is now available in Previews magazine, and can be solicited through your local comic retailer. Torn, a werewolf story with a twist, written by the amazing Andrew Constant, with art by Joh James, cover art by the phenomenal Nicola Scott (of DC's Birds of Prey, Secret Six and Teen Titans) and panel corrections by you guessed it, moi, is offered in this month's edition of Previews.

Between project work and finishing commissions (I'm so sorry, thankyou so much for your patience) I have left the poor internet neglected. So please, ask me things. I will answer as truthfully as possible. No holds barred, although I reserve the right to be acerbic if you barge straight in with the awkward personal stuff.
much love,
The sagely pixie
When writing/working with comic scripts, you prefer:
 |  123 votes
- Screenplay-style script with stage directions, angles and shot levels mentioned, tight dialogue and panel breakdown in place.
- A looser script with clear dialogue but more open interpretations for direction, and no clear panel breakdown/page breakdown.
- A simple synopsis and suggested page count, leaving the rest up to the artist - dialogue is added later.
- I don't use scripts.
