In this post, I will give a couple good links to neat little tutorials I found to be useful on Youtube.com. Today's topic: Coloring. It is not the beginning of a comic (more on that later), but I find that it is the most interesting as it is the place when a comic really comes to Life. As with any art style, there are many ways to do a thing to get the same or varied results. Here are two vids that illustrate 2 styles of coloring...
The Burn/Doge method: You flat color your line work, then "paint" by making parts of the flat colors into 3D shades by lightening and darkening. With a little color adjustment, this is a great method as it is quick and easy! (with some practice, ofcourse)
Next Method: Cuts and Gradients. This is the way many pros work. It takes some practice to get it right, but it has a striking appeal (hence why the pros use it!). This is not really a "cell-shading" approach, but it is similar in some ways.
Thanks for Reading!
