Description
The original lineart for this picture is by ~ALKEMANUBIS [link] . Isn't it awesome!?Bow brushes by =Luvelia [link] .
This is my first digital coloring! I'm using Gimp and I really don't know what I'm doing.
Still struggling with the background and simplifying the coloring process. Like, I can bucket fill and then hand-color the borders where it isn't flush with the lines, or I can clean up the lines with an eraser and then color-fill. I get pretty much the same result either way. But both are tedious and take too long! Lasso has not been my friend, so I don't like to fill that way at this point.
I did the lavender-colored spaces by first coloring with the pink color, avoiding the lines, and then I filled those areas with the lavender, creating the effect shown. I thought it was pretty cool, but I wish I could get a more realistic and shaded look.
If anyone would like to do a Gimp tutorial for coloring, I would love them forever!
I plan on using my finished coloring for a new ID. I have already gotten permission from the artist and I'm so excited!
Please leave your comments and opinions, as well as any tips or tricks you might have!

Cool. The eyes in that look easy enough. I am just starting digital coloring, so I haven't quite gotten a good technique down. I suppose I can still use gradients with this technique, only first I create a pupil area and an iris area, right?
