Crum in colour

Borrowed a bamboo tablet and got a beginners guide to digital painting for Christmas. So, despite not reading through it properly, have started messing about in photoshop. Here are my first attempts at colouring a sketch. I probably should have used a better starting image as mistakes in the original sketch are really bugging me. Was a fun few hours but there is so much to learn!



1. First attempt at digital painting.

2. Playing with highlights. Smooth skin, rough leather, dry hair.

3. Softer more naturalistic shading for original pencil sketch.

4. Still like the cartoon-like cell shading of the original.
