coloring is too hard to be enjoyable but the end result is nice

@bobo I like making a copy of a drawing before colouring in case I like the original better

@bobo you're actually wrong

@spots Colouring usually comes pretty easily to me, but shading is where it becomes much more difficult but rewarding for me

@northernnarwhal I have never been able to color in the lines so I just kinda have to erase everything

@northernnarwhal well I don't color unless it's digital stuff and then I just use the same thing I draw with

@spots Staying within the lines can be a bit more tough digitally, though I'm not really experienced with lots of digital art so I don't know if I can offer much constructive advice in that regard aside from "colour patiently".

@northernnarwhal I do it as best I can but I'll be darned if it doesn't take a long-ass time

@spots I know the feeling, I'm far from a perfectionist but I'm no stranger to putting a long time into artistic endeavours. I'm letting a classmate take lead creative direction on a group assignment for the studio that a few of us are working on, because I know if I had full and final creative control we'd never finish it in time.

@northernnarwhal I just want this to look clean and nice and not like I threw up on a perfectly nice drawing, which is sadly difficult to achieve :(

@northernnarwhal Just tell her the layer thing I said because she can't see my posts.

@spots From what I've been told, another technique worth trying is to make a line layer, and colour in the layer under it. Hopefully that helps!

@northernnarwhal Make a line layer, and colour in the layer under it.

@nerthos This works. I imagined there'd be a way to colour efficiently in a digital medium but lack lots of digital art experience.
Thursday, 14-Jan-16 02:35:16 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal I've seen it done and thought it was a really smart way to make it super easy. I'm too lazy to actually do it most of the time though.

@nerthos I've drawn with a tablet a few times but I'd say a good 95% of my drawing experience is just through pencil/marker on paper
Thursday, 14-Jan-16 02:38:19 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal Same. Never got used to digital stuff, so most of the time I just make paint drawings like that Peridot I posted last night.
Thursday, 14-Jan-16 02:39:17 UTC from web-
@nerthos I've done some abstract art in digital mediums just because I can much more easily play around with the compositions, but as far as actual character or architectural drawings go I tend to stick with traditional pen and paper as I'm more used to it.
Thursday, 14-Jan-16 02:41:20 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal At the cost of not being able to screw up and redo everything, pen or pencil allows for much more detail.
Thursday, 14-Jan-16 02:43:19 UTC from web-
@nerthos Also I know you can rotate a frame when drawing digitally but being able to move your page around however you want while drawing with pen or pencil is really convenient.
Thursday, 14-Jan-16 02:46:19 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal I'd rotate the tablet out of habit
Thursday, 14-Jan-16 02:47:04 UTC from web-
@nerthos Yeah, I have lots of muscle memory stroke movements I tend to make when drawing stuff like hair, so I tend to rely a lot on being able to turn the page around.
