I thought you knew? Haven't I commented on your pieces before? I thought I did... or maybe you just didn't know it was me?

Okay, well, tell them over on HeroicMonkey.com. Not me. I'm just a judge and have nothing to do with the contest outside of that.

Ok, I'm new to Deviantart so I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this, but regardless here it is. Ok I love your coloring, it's actually somewhat what I try to pull off; key word is try. For example, I tried to have a really lifelike airbrush color for my Cyclops drawing....well what I ended up with was this.

I know pretty sad. I tried using multiple layers, with the brush on multiply so the paint got darker as I went over the previous stroke. I also had the layer's opacity down a bit. I then burned,darted, smudged. Any advice lol?

Well, first off, when you say coloring, what are you referring to?

My comic book page coloring looks like this;

What I think you might referring to is something like this;

That I consider digital painting. There's a fine line between the two sometimes, but the fact of the matter is, when I do more involved rendering like that, I'm applying techniques from my experience with acrylic painting to the digital realm. I wouldn't be able to painting like that digitally if I didn't have a grasp of it traditionally.

Granted, not everyone learns to digital paint like that. You can simply google "digital painting tutorial" to find tons of methods and techniques to arrive at your own method for coloring.

I'm not much of a tutorial guy, but I did do one process breakdown;

See if that helps at all.

I meant the coloring in your venom vs spideyman. Oh and I think your tutorial should help; I have a terminator sketch I'm going to try it on. It could be a while before it's done lol.

I don't really keep track of the actual hours I spend on things, but I'm guessing Venom/Spidey took me about eight to ten hours over about a week of drawing. If you track back starting at the finished image, I linked to the previous stages (now in my scraps) and have one link to a close-up.

When it comes to things like Venom/Spidey or even the digipainting of my wife, I actually did a much more finished drawing than I did with Devon (which was basically a loose sketch). Same with the Precious Metal painting.
