k.digennaro Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 So it seems like i always have a hard time coloring on PDN, and im not really sure why. I can do detailing and sketching and shaping really well, or at least much better than coloring. Does any one have any advice on how to help me to learn to color? That almost sounds funny to say lol, but I'm having a hard time. Ill post a couple things ive done so many you can give me some tips. Thanks!

david.atwell Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 The best way I've found is to draw outlines on one (otherwise transparent) layer and the color on a layer beneath that. I find it gives a cleaner effect. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies.
