Figured I might as well post this since I've been playing around with different coloring styles and brushes. Some C&H fanart -

Oooh. Nifty sky and moon. Can't imagine KM skipping through town - that's a scary thought :P Thanks, Townie. One of these days I'll get around to posting all this art in my fan section, just for fun - with everyone getting full credit for what they did, of course ^_^

Oh yeah, and I can't remember if I seconded the motion for this thread to be stickied. But I do. This thread really helped me get around some coloring artist's block. Either that or it just has to keep getting ressurected once in a while :P

Yeah, I know what ya mean. I've been meaning to slip the stuff I've done/stuff people've done to my work in my site's gallery, too. I'm just switching over to another gallery script and I haven't had a chance to play around with modding it

Here's a colored piece I promised someone on another forum.

I kinda spent the most time on the pieces of hair under the girl's chin .. then I realized how much time it was taken me ... and how much hair she had left. So I whizzed through the rest of it :P

Oooh! It's been a while since I contributed something to this thread!

I recently did this portrait of Lysanne:

I'd love to see anyone's take on this.

ps: Townie, that colour image rocks! How did you do that sketchy effect?

Sketchy? I mostly set the shadows with the gradient tool, then touched them up with a soft-edged brush and added a few highlights
