Howdy'o fellow Keenspacers,
Being new to the world of computer aided coloring, I am in dire need of practice. If any of ya'll know of sites that offer downloadable practice files, please post a reply or drop me a line. Remeber, in this dangerous time were are living, the survivors of this terrible weekend must band together to bring the new generation into the wonderful world of Keenspace. Thanx ya'll!

How about just right-clicking on b&w webcomics and practicing on them? There are tons of lineart comics out there.

Hehe, you should just go get a coloring book, and scan a bunch of it in black and white mode, and see how well you can color it with the computer. That sounds like great practice to me, and you can work on scanning techniques at the same time. I find coloring turns out much better if you scan REALLY BIG and color it while it's huge, then shrink it down to the size you actually want it. Maybe that's just me, though.

The look I got from our artist when I asked if he had any coloring books lying around was great! Thanks for the idea Jaster. I'll pick a couple up next time I go into town.
