Good god I wish I could shade like you do! Time to practice!!!

Thanks.

You can. Anyone can.

For the record. I think that being "born" or "blessed" with talent does matter. It's more or less a head start. But to me, it's just about who tells you how to do it. It's the technique taught and how much time is spent.

I'm not good on time management and technique. It took me a long time because I just continually layered color over color. Think about it as how you color in Photoshop. 70 first, 80 for gradient, and the normal black to almost finish it, and the special black (very very solid black) to get the darkest of it. Coloring the picture took the better part of a 2 hour span, mostly being careful about it and coloring him in "parts" designated by body part, as to keep the marker strokes from being apparent. You notice the strokes when it's a novice artist or they are straight up in a rush. That's the way I used to color in photoshop and I color the same way with Prismas.

If someone could teach me how to color more "efficiently", that would be cool too.

Here's to your coffin...
May it be built of 100 year old oaks which I will plant tomorrow...

Hmm, yeah I was reading a bit on how to colour better with markers. Sadly I've never tried, but I aspire to try quite soon. So there will be a lot of novice art poking around haha. But I like to post my art as it evolves so that I can look at it later and see how far I've actually come.

I severely don't think that anyone is just born in to talent. It takes a lot of practice, as I am learning with skateboarding.

Unreal cool *__*
Love this pic!

Hey you know you kinda look like Walter. Just grow your hair out and .....yeah.
