I've just finished up my first serious attempt at colouring something in PS, seeing none of my own sketches had a nice thick black outline I decided to use a sketch by Feng Zhu (go here NOW: http://www.artbyfeng.com/ )

enough blabbering, here's the pic:




Comments, critics, and please, please, suggestions on how to improve my technique, are welcomed

And if posting coloured work by another artist other than myself is bad, let me know (I'm moving onto my own work now anyways)

Sorry for the late reply but thanks for the comments

I learnt a fair bit doing this painting, but if I'd do it again I would've lessened the saturation on his clothes (too green, he looks like a cyberpunk Link from the Zelda games) and a few other small things. Thanks for the replies

I have seen your website before recently. My idol, Dangeruss, recently made a tank image based off inspiration from one of your images. Your art is pretty sweet.

i hear actually reading things is overrated.

Cheney, do you mean me or Feng? If me, thats cool that I could inspire someone

Which image did he get inspired by? (thats why I'm wondering if it was me or Feng, I don't have any tank-like images except for that wierd alien I drew with the bulky, spherical armour).

[cheney]

Oh, I thought you were Feng.......

[Goldabar]

LOL, thats what I thought you were thinking

(Tank? WTF? *shrugs his shoulders*)
