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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

You are so talented. I love the axe one plus the one where he's smiling a bit. He has such a beautiful smile.

I know nothing about photoshop so good luck.

Yeah. I'm thinking of the scene where Fred says, "Your're so pretty," and he really is.

I'll probably colour some of the others as well, but with Photoshop this time.
