Gunn. Charles Gunn.


I wanted to color the one face with Photoshop to practice. I have to acquaint myself with PS eventually (even though I don't plan to switch to computer coloring anytime... ever). Anyway, I got unnerved after a few minutes because I'm still stuck at stage one (What's a layer?), so I got my markers and did it the old-fashioned way.

No way in hell is computer coloring faster than marker or watercolor. Maybe with routine it can be equally time-consuming, but I really can't imagine how this saves time. Still, I want to learn this technique to have an additional tool at my command.

I already printed miggy's comic coloring tutorial, but in order to work with that, I first have to get past the "what's a layer" stage. Stupid computer programs that come without handbooks. I'll buy "Photoshop for Dummies" or something like that.
