I already do something close to the posing stuff. I'm pretty much happy with how I color now, I think. Thanks, though.

It's ok to be happy with something, but as with everyone and everything, theres always room for improvement. There's no excuse for not trying to improve.

Honestly, the number of layers you use doesn't matter if you are using them properly. I understand you want it to be shiny, but I doubt you want every one of your pictures to look like the subject is doused in gloss.

You shouldn't brush off criticism. It's the best thing you can receive. If you only listen to compliments, you'll NEVER improve, and I dont mean to sound like an [censored], but you should keep trying to improve.

I highly suggest you look over those tutorials, try expanding yourself instead of listening to only the good. Compliments are a great motivating factor, and criticism is a great thing to receive, especially in the way people have given it to you. They're not being rude, they are being helpful.

Like I said, you do have a lot of room for improvement as everyone does -- so use that room and get better. Don't just "settle".

Who the heck said I didn't listen to critiques? I was just saying I like that style of coloring, that doesn't mean I won't improve on it. Sheesh.

Y'know what helps with drawing something out of nowhere?

Tutorials.

Search DA, it helps.

Not offended at all.

The properties of light is actually pretty helpful.

I have yet to look at the link you just posted, but I will now.

His skin is what I want it to be, now. The original link is edited.

EDIT: My avatar is updated as well.

The shine on his skin is quite exaggerated.

Personally, I'm thinking far too many layers.

In other words, put up a warning for people that might find that innapropriate, or people who are at work, and such.

What does emo have to do with it?

I'm just talking about skin tone.

Hmmmm... I want you guys' opinion on this.

Does his skin make him look white, or black? It looks a bit strange..?

Cool.

I'm not a WoW person, tho'. XD

Derek is now really shiny!!

This piece has 36 layers, and I'm using all of them. XD I use a lot of shading/highlight layers now, making the piece shinier, and with more depth!!


Hope you like!!
