Messing around in PS

[Sivart the Sloth Trencher]

So after seeing Duel's topic about digitally coloring, I decided that it would be fun to learn to digitally color in Photoshop. I went to google and found a random page to color, and here's my end result.



Any feedback would be much appreciated.

No offence(been saying that a lot lately), but a picture like that you can pretty much color in with Paint if you wanted to.

But I dunno.

I know, but I wanted somethign easy to get used to coloring with Photoshop, ya know? I just wanted to know if the colors looked alright.

My only advice is that most, if not all, of your colour choices appear to have come straight from the Photoshop swatches, which I'd advise against. Just go the colour picker and it'll give you a much greater gamut to work with.

Yeah, I was a little bothered at the swatch limitations but... ...Well they looked pretty. Most of the scales were swatched, but that was about it.

I only use the swatches as a quick guide to select a general colour that I want, and then I click on the selected colour to open up the colour picker so I can look for something more accurate.

I did that with about 6 of the scales, maybe a few more.

Here it is with cooler colors. ...No swatches.
