This picture  has disaster written all over it! Finally colored it. took me a long time and when I almost finshed it my computer crashed beyond repair. So I had to do it all over again on my new comp. It took me weeks again ;) I really don't like this colorprogram. I had to do everything with a mouse and very primitive tools. I don't have photoshop or anything like that. I hope a lot of people see this so they can give me some coloradvise! :D And tablet advise! like where can i find one. Still, I must say I reached a step higher on my coloring skills, it's my best so far. A warrior angel watching(garding) a forgotten valley...what can you see in it? :)

oh... u did color it... heh...

WOW i was right, it looks awesome! luv the colors and how did u do his chest?!?!?!? wow i cant draw like that, it does look a bit fake though... but hay, who am i to say, i cant even draw enything CLOSE to that! as for the colors, i was thinking more of a blue/gray kinda sceen, but the red works too. nicely done.

:-) Sky van Niekerk replies: "thanks! yes, it does look `plastic` but that was kinda the idea, I donīt have painter or photoshop. does anyone know a good program to download? "

real nice colors. And I like the skin tone in this one also. Tom says he looks like a hero in a native american folk tale. Have you ever gone to Geeks.com

:-) Sky van Niekerk replies: "This was colored with my old coloring program...and its unfortunately the best you can take out of it...I’m thinking about recoloring it some day. it came out too ’plastic fantastic’ to me 1 I’m actually not sure if there are any native angels... so I combined the 2, like i did with native elves. I really like the whole native culture. Its so pure and close to nature, very inspiring 2"

I had a tablet and prefure a mouse though

:-) Sky van Niekerk replies: "Really? I never worked with a tablet. I always scan my drawings into the computer and color them with the mouse. My problem however is that I always come up with something new to add... and I cant draw that well with my mouse as with my normal pencil^^ I tought that a tablet would improve this, or am I totally wrong and it feels much the same as a mouse? Those Wacoms are pretty expensive so the more opinions I gather here the better before I buy one 1 thnx in advance!"

Awsome!

:-) Sky van Niekerk replies: "cool! people like this one 14 that is nice to hear since I’m not that happy with the coloring myself.... though... its a terrible program with which I did this. "

OMG!! I like the colored version even better than the black and white version. I love your use of colors plus purple is my favorite color.

:-) Sky van Niekerk replies: "I#m glad you like it 2 I myself do not really like it. it was a horrible coloring program and it took me ages to create this. Thank God I have Ps now 1"
