Description
I have been wanting to try this for ages,colouring a black and white drawing in Photoshop,
so here's my first real attempt at it,
a coloured version of my Charlize drawing.
Used Photoshop, and took about 6 hours,
original drawing was about 30 hours.
Many thanks for looking.

It worked out pretty well! Great coloring!
I always wondered how the hell they colored the comics of artist Jay Anacleto, do you know him?
Keep it up!

Hi Patrick,
thanks for the fav, no I have not heard of that artist
do you have any links I could look at ?

You're very welcome!
He's an artist working in the comics-industry. Back in 2001 I was collecting his works. He makes smooth shaded pencil-drawings that are then colored in Photoshop. Another one that's working this way is Adi Granov who works on the "IronMan" series.

Not bad, Phil.
Will you still be using CP after this?

You sound like me, that's what I always ask when someone tries digital !!
Yes I now plan to draw everything in black and white and then do a digital
colour version (well, perhaps not every one of them!)

Good old Photoshop !!
Plenty of layers, and hue / colour for some of the layers etc.
It can get a bit involved but I really enjoyed doing it,
and hoping to do a lot more in the future.

Nah, no sarcasm, I swear! It reminds me of what I was doing when I first started with Photoshop.

LOL... I'm sorry, man...
You want to know what I used to color this piece? I used mostly the Hue/Saturation tool. I've got CS3, which has adjustment layers--I can do each color on a separate layer and not touch the underlaying pencils. This will also tint the pencils, which is a good thing.
Something to play around with when you've time.

Hi Wade, Yeah I used all manor of different things
including using the "colour" option for one of the skin layers
rather than "normal" I think you'll know what I mean !
I was also keen not to disturb the pencils too much,
I think that there's a fine balancing act between when you
need to use something like hue or colour and when to actually
"paint" over the pencil marks,
I was really happy with the outcome though, and am looking forward
to colouring a lot more in the future.
I don't think you'll have to worry too much for a while yet though
having looked at your excellent Amando Huerta colouring job !!
