Can you guys check out my two coloring dealies. I have cel shade and a fuzzy shade...er...thing. Which is better? Oh, and ignore the fourth panel of the first comic, it's indelibly messed up.
Any tips, comments, ect? I need help, I just started this coloring stuff.

Your cell shading looks much cleaner. You could stand to be a little bolder with it, but it's much more appealing than the fuzzy version.

The guy's clothes are too primary. Use colors more in this range:

I generally use really desaturated colors in my comic.

But you also heavily relying on white for highlights and black for shades instead of mixing your own colors. :/ colors do not work this way in real life.

What, me?

No I dont. For shadows, I use a really dark blue, and for highlights on clothing, I use a really light yellow. For hair, I use the brightest shade of whatever color the character's hair is. (In the main one's case, cyan)

I put them on a transparent layer above the color.

Thanks for the help, guys. I'll stick with the cell-shading, I guess. And I noticed the too-dark clothes, So I'll fix that when I try it again. Thank you guys, love the help.
