Oops, yeah I saw it!

Everyone get’s on me about this but i reallllyyy don’t like Damian like just please don’t even mention his name to me, I’d probably like his outfit more but it’s attached to him so; Red Robin’s costumes are pretty nice tho. It’s hard to say since there’s so many @v@; 

Favorites are Steph and Dick with Dick’s original outfit but Uhhh as far as a list it would probably go (at least for who’s outfits I generally like*)

I’m still learning how to color. My coloring is atrocious and it was only within this month and a half or so did I manage to do anything with color and make it look remotely “complete.” Disclaimer aside: here’s what I do and use. 

UtDa Wips  - Here are some progress shots I did. The Jojo one has captions (ignore the Kingsman one, that’s super old lmao otl).

Coloring Tutorial/Refs

Lighting Refs

My blog has a ton of references. Check out the Jojo WIP then read this. This is the break down how I try to color:

Sketch/Lineart 

Refine Lineart (sometimes I redraw whole images over my lineart)

Use new layer. ALL layers should be under Lineart for coloring. 

New Layer - tone (i.e. grey - you can adjust opacity)

New Layers over the tone -- the flat base colors go on top.

Then you add as many layers are you want for shadowing/lighting. 

I didn’t use tone for these pictures:

Obito and Kakashi - BW practice is good too

Don’t forget to label your Layers. When you do more than one character, it’s a good idea to keep everything for them separate. It helps when you need to adjust opacity and make edits. It sucks a ton when you mess up lineart and you need to edit thing after you color over stuff. It’s always best to try and finalize your lineart. 

Also, lineart + the grey tones - it’s best if your lineart has no gaps but the grey tones help if ever you use bucketfill.

FireAlpaca makes me happy because I can “copy image” and “paste” it onto the canvas. This way, I can use the same colors to achieve certain stylistic goals/it’s the best way to get the actual character’s colors.

 Aka how I figured out how to do this botched attempt at drawing Naruto fanart 

I can draw Kakashi perfectly fine

mokutondude​ It’s not much to go off of since I have no idea what I’m doing, but here’s hoping my experience helps.
