I got stuff to color!

oh yeah, and the whole "in love" thing is brightening my spirits considerably ;3

anyway, coloring, this is my method. I print out two copies. On the first copy i outline it in black, and color in the right colors. i do an average job with it, more of making sure i do it right. (nowadays it's at the level my final copy used to be X3) I fiddle around with shading on important parts like neck, elbows, sides, curves, that stuff.
--second copy i use my ink pen i draw exactly the lines. this takes awhile for me, but i'm getting better at it. Then i color very carefully, a clean base color. then i shade everywhere i feel comfortable with. After that, i try to make the fur more realistic, and do more shading.

My tools? Crayola© Twistables™ =3 Actually they are really good :333
