I did alot of high lights to show you what I ment hobogod ^^ not that all the highlights are good in this one

[Animizzle]

I don't know anything about page coloring but i was wondering this,

This guy from Inane who does those incredible colorpages...
What does he do so different from yours? His seem to have the shiny touch and fading colors.

Does he use a different program or are his skills way beyond yours?

[Mika]

He is so way more skilled...hes like a god for it ^^ I am still learning anyway...this is my second pic colored on photoshop. Mostly I work in inks. If you want to see a really good colord pic chek out the sasuke in color thread in fan art...Niti can really make a pic come alive..I cant but hey I am gonna try

[zarkand]

Its been awhile since I last colored page in the manga, anyway, here is my version of the kyubi from 228:

nitis got a thread in fan art like this...

i would, but i like to do everything by hand with the paintbrush tool and it gets rather time consuming. ^_^

cover of 228 Kakashi


So it's ok to put 1 or 2 pages of the licensed manga but just not an entire chapter rite?

[Mika]

mashimaro_boy that is just stunning...I love Kakashi

And Hobogod I know just what you mean...I spend way to much time on a peice

[mashimaro_boy]

which kakashi looks better?


i am just posting these, I didnt do them

[Mika]

I like thee fisrt one more it just pops tight out at you...like POW...theres Kakashi ^^

[UndeadGangsta]

Ah, I was bored so I just picked a random page and started colouring that

[Freestyler]

I'd like to request an image for coloring

I really love this image and would like to see it colored

thnx

[HoboGod]

@mashimaro_boy: the first one looks cooler than the second one, but the first one cheated
and made a completely new backround. The second one was able to make a respectable
picture without changing things to fit their wants and needs.

@Freestyler: that is a pretty cool picture, can you give me the chapter number in which
that appeared? it would really help me deside what colors to use.

Thats a link to show you how to get the most out of your layers. its a good one I think.

note: if you do decide to use this method make sure you select the masked ares option on the alpha 1 ...not spot color or the other option...they both lead to black screens... from my own trial and error
