Original sketch

Colouring attempt

Okay, so, today I wanted to do something different for a change. And, having spent the entire day listening to Uriah Heep, I thought "Why not draw a wizard". So I did.

It's quite scary how much the facial expression changed...

 

Anyways, for colouring I actually scanned the sketch and printed a 'lighter' version, on top of which I used coloured pencils. Thankfully no harm was done to the original. I can only recommend this approach if you're not sure of the outcome. ;)

 

I'm not overly happy with how the colouring turned out, so I kinda 'gave up'. I don't know if I'll go over this a second time later on or not...

 

Comments and Critism would be greatly appreciated! :)

Dat staff.

 

To get rid of those holes in the coloring, I'd suggest going over it with a white colored pencil and press hard to help blend it in. Or you could experiment with light markers (if you have some quality ones that don't over-do the coloring).

 

Or water colors. Water coloring sound like a better idea than markers. XD

Ooh, nice staff.

You're right, the facial expression did change a lot.

I find myself (as always) leaning towards the uncolored version.

Tekulo is right, water colors would indeed be good.

I know x3

 

Mhm... but the holes are mostly because I was about only half-way done. But thanks for the suggestion

*ahem* sorry, I think I misunderstood you yesterday; in my defense I would like to add that the scanner sort of killed the colouring - must be because the paper is actually not really white D=

And what about watercolour markers? :evilgrin: Because I have those.

Thankies, and yes, I too prefer the original sketch. ^^
