colored lineart

This is a style that I've been meaning to try for a while. I like the look of it and it looked easy enough to do so I finally got around to giving it a try.

The outline is based off of a sketch that I did in photoshop but could also have worked with a scanned in pencil drawing. After the sketch I just used the paint brush at 100% opacity and traced my original, altering little things here and there. After the inking was done, the coloring was just like any other digi-painting I've done. Just working with a bunch of layers.

This one didn't have that many layers because I was kind of quick on the coloring and didn't really put a lot of detail into it. This is most obvious in the hair since it only looks half done. XD

anyway.. the point what to try inking a sketch and coloring it a little and that's what I did so... done! :D I think I'll try this a little more to see if I can get a little faster. this one took much longer then I think it should have. (it took somewhere around 4 hours when it should have been 2 hours max)
