Still coloring

I have been busy, getting used to my new PS CS5. :D After the last two drawings, I am trying to find a coloring method that would work for my drawing style. I still prefer the good old cell-shaded sketches better though.

I have a lot many random headshots in my notes and I'm using them for practice. Here I've used the general textured brushes dry brushes for the cheeks and the darker tones on the neck. To make the process quicker and more sketchy I drew sketch lines but in lighter colors. Tried not to use too much black because I want the focus on the colors. In the end, I added a layer on top of everything, set it on 'Multiply' and with a normal brush on low opacity and semi-flow, I added shadows wherever I thought it was needed. I hope I can improve the method in my next try. ^_^

Family Portraits II

And the last one. :] A portrait of my little sister. This looks rather traditional unlike the one before. :D

Family Portraits

:D I'm back. I made a portrait of my big brother.

He doesn't like it much though. :P Of course, I used reference for his facial features but the lighting is all from my head. Dude doesn't get many well-lighted photographs taken. :/

Trying out my new PS CS5 :D

Not the powerpuff girls

I was drawing a few nights ago and thought I should try some hair-renders. Once I started, I loved it. ^_^ It has been a while since I drew hair like this.

When I colored them, I tried giving them colors that suited their moods. Still, I don't like the pink one.
