Art LeLineArt-- Yet again. Advice in need.

[drab_hound]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1]{{ Yepyep people.. 'Tis me again. After a.. say.. 5-month-silence period. Been slacking, been studying (a brutal reality), been sleeping. And was continuously attacked by the 'art' block (writer's block, artists' block?). Then.. saved~! Thank you pal, you brought back the inspiration to me, and bade me produce my favvy character again.

Alucard from Hellsing, yepyepyep. And also.. I'm doing much better with the pen tool.. still haven't invested on a tablet.. 6_<

The lineart is >>>>> [URL=http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b197/drab_hound/AluDA.jpg]Here[/URL].
I still haven't figured out what type of colouring method would be best.


Please, with my throw-all-my-sheep-into-the-ravine mood, please pass me some pointers and crits before I colour it, put it nicely in DeviantArt. X3 }}[/SIZE][/FONT]

Coloring method, huh? Perhaps a single color for all the shadows with a tone paper effect would work nicely ('cause it looks like 'em professional manga drawings and I would love to see that beautiful lineart through the colors). If minimalism ain't your style, maybe you could go for something like [URL=http://www.minekura.com/gallery/gallery_p8_1.jpg]this[/URL]. All shadows are filled in with black and the solid colors are broken up with textured brushes (kinda like the art in [i]Gankutsuou[/i] but not really).[/COLOR]

[color=darkslateblue] Lines are...so clean. *_* I love clean lines. I'd say if you're going to leave that red thing behind him as a solid color, cel-shading would be nice. But then again, you'd have to just color it the way you feel most comfortable with. :] Amazing job. [/color]
