There have been some inquires about how I do my colors, so I decided to unveil all my tips and tricks. Well not all of them, and by no means is this anything novel... but it gets the job done.

I didn't mention it in the tut, but this was colored in Photoshop CS, but I believe it should work for any version. And please forgive any and all spelling mistakes, because I don't want to even get into how lazy I am :D

Hopefully someone will get some use out of this, and if you have any more questions please ask!

Also, I chose one of my more popular images (and I use "my" very loosely as Walter O'Neal is the genius responsible for all this goodness!) You can find my colors here: [link] and the sick-ass pencils here: [link] And don't forget to check out Walter's amazing gallery:

Cheers!

I think this is the perfect deviation for me to comment on.

Your coloring is quite stunning, captivating and captures the eye quite nicely. I see a classic spirit in your coloring, nostalgic and yet quite current. Plus, this is the first tutorial I've seen that had listed instructions right there on the side AND the first time I've started to really understand what it is that happens. I don't know how to color to save my life or where to begin but this is one of those pieces that makes me feel and think 'yes i can'. Thanks so much for the inspiration! :horns:

Looks like it's not really hard. Now I just have to learn to draw like those guys you're painting. :)
