Finally got around to trying out my hand at coloring. Drew this side profile of Ranshiin Windragon last night and colored it in using Prismacolor pencils on a smooth 100lb paper.
The coloring came out somewhat better than what I thought it would, though I wish that I could have smoothed and blended in the colors better.

Ahhh, most excellent to see you color! __and it turned out damn good too. Much better than what I did with color pencils back in the day. I like the side profile too. It shows the handsome side of the draggy.
I'm super pleased to see that you're trying new things. I'll tell you, once you start coloring there's no going back. ;) It's time to break out that wacom tablet and let the frustration begin (trying to learn how to use the painter program!) ;)
A very nice picture to ring in the new year.
Oh, by the way. Happy New Year gator-licious! *hugs*
'09 is going to see some awesome art out of the both of us....I hope. :D

Hey thanks. Using that Strathmore Bristol smooth 100lb paper made all the difference in the world with those color pencils. I'm glad that you suggested that I try out a better quality paper, it really can make all the difference. Now if I can just figure out how to blend the colors better.
Figure that I'll practice with the color pencils for a while and get use to coloring before I try my hand at coloring on my Wacom. Uggh, figuring out how to use Photoshop 7 or painter will be a massive headache when it comes to coloring.
You have a Happy New Year as well, and yes lets hope that 09 is full of awesome art from us.
