Colour Me Experimental





Been practising some colouring recently, thought I'd post the results here. Nothing particularly exciting, I'm just getting ready to try and stretch a bit, try something new. Some minor effects take an amazingly long time and I'm not sure of the results. take the Enchantress, been experimenting with "line holds" and I'm not entirely convinced. Maybe it's my choices rather than the technique but I prefer the less worked version (although I intend to colour this version in my usual manor over the next week or so...)

The Jonah Hex was drawn fairly quickly and loosely, inked very quick too in an effort to achieve a grittier look than I normally go for (don't really think it worked though). My main aim for that was to experiment with line holds again, which woks better here than the Enchantress, though I'm quite happy with the render-free Amora artwork...

Middle two pieces are me just colouring pics by Adam Hughes and Steve Rude just because the urge took me :)

Love the Enchantress pic, really nice clean line. Think you just slightly overdid the colour holds, darken them up a little and it'd be less washed out. Top stuff as always.

I'm unsure about the eyebrows really...they look odd without a black/dark line but need to match the lines in the hair, which I am fairly happy with.

I'll be in lateish tonight but maybe I can have a tinker...

Yeah, the Enchantress pic is really special.

Nothing wrong with the Hex though.
