Dude! i love the way you color your stuff
What do you do and how do you go about choosing the right colors?

Thank you! I'm actually trying to figure that out myself haha, I've been playing around with Photoshop a lot but basically I choose whatever color I wan't the character to be and then go into the color wheel properties and turn down the saturation and play with brightness. Then I go in and change the blues greens and reds, and try to mix it with the original colors' complimentary color, until it looks less vibrant I guess? After that I add a new layer and pick a light color like yellow, and I make it pale in the properties, turn down the opacity and I choose the light source direction and paint a triangle from that towards the character covering him completely. And then it's a matter of erasing where the shadows should fall. So, I guess pale unsaturated versions of the colors I want, and then heavy on lighting. Your gallery is very impressive, and I think your drawing and Photoshop skills are far beyond mine! Thanks again!

Hey it was no problem, I'm glad you were interested. If you try again I'd like to see your take on it! I'm sure you only failed because I didn't explain well enough... If you are really really interested though, I can send you the PSD file of it and you can see my layers and stuff.

I like your style--cute, but different! Kind of a cross between anime and a more cartoony look. ^^

Thank you very much! I'm still working on 'my' style but I'm alright with the notion of a cartoony anime look.
