And finally the colored version of the lineart I posted days ago. I had some trouble with this pic's coloring. When I finished it, Lei's skin looked purplish. I quickly noted what the mistake was: the pic is painted in cool colors, while I had painted his skin in neutral (or perhaps neutral-warm) tones. So I grabbed the Pale Lemon Yellow pencil and gave him an overall layer. Strange how color works: now much cooler, it actually looks warmer.

Lei's skin is still a problem spot for me. Even though the coloring is better now, and kinda looks alive, the problem is that his skin should be snow-white. Milk colored. Almost albino. Not this darker pink tone. I can't do that with colors yet, unless I want him to look like a statue. More experimentation is needed.

I also wrote almost 3000 words for my third novel today.



The specifics:
•Time taken: Approximately three hours and half, lpus what the lineart took me.
•Media used: Color pencils, pencil, black pen and micromarker. Cool white high quality drawing paper.
•30-day trial: Day 26/30, July 30th 2018
•Technical notes to myself: For cool-colored pics, use Granite Rose, not Light Flesh. Especially with icy colors, or they will crash. Granite Rose is for Lei, Light Flesh for Sween in sunny form.
