Description
Been busy doing a bunch of other things and falling behind. But I got an email from Kano about a quick coloring piece. The image was clean enough so I figured why the hell not. Here's the end product. Anyways, back to work I go.Drawing - Danny "Kano" Kimanyen

how long have you been colouring and working with the comic style?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'd say probably around 3-4 years. The style I used for this pic was more or less just a progression fmor my older stuff. I tend to change styles depending on the style of the drawing.

Save often. I'm still learning quite a bit myself. but generally I stick with pretty much just the basic tools and brushes. The tools will take some time to get used to as well. A drawing tablet is also a big help. I personally couldn't do it with a mouse.
Oh, also make sure the drawing you're working on is decent. If the linework is screwy, you'll just give yourself a big headache trying to figure out why it's not working.

thanks man. whats your favort pic of yours?

Oh man, that's a tough one.. mainly because I'm never really crazy about any of my own work. I like how the scarecrow one turned out and this shy pic. Mainly because they're different looking. I also liked the Cud drawing for the mood it sets.

A little bit of everything. The ones that I get paid to do, I pretty much draw and color how they want. My own stuff comes from all over the place. I try to study everything.

so you get paid to do alot of this stuff. how much do you charge?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, most of the stuff uploaded are paid work... not all though. My prices are pretty all over the place. I tend to adjust it based on how long I think the work would take.

I believe for a full blown commission (pencils, inks and colors) was around 350-400.

A little from all 3, as well as other independent titles. I generally buy in trade or hardcover form since I can't get to the comic shops regularly these days.

Nothing major yet. I colored the back cover for Iron Ghost #3... was supposed to be out this month, but not sure if it's out yet. I'm currently working on a title called Half-Dead that's being put out by Speakeasy Comics early next year. Currently halfway through coloring issue 2.

No favorites yet really. It's all still pretty much in the early stages so it's pretty much just work.

Yeah, that was nicely designed. I take no credit for that one though. The artist did a nice clean job which made my job a breeze.
