This is a progress upload I'm putting up so Kilehye can see that I'm not just sitting around at home watching TV. 8P

Actually, I'm very happy with the colors here. I went over a pencil sketch with some lines, then put down coloring-book style color. Later I'll go over it again with Multiply, Burn and Dodge to make it look nice and 3D.

Once I get Kilehye herself finished, I'll make the windowsill around her that she's sitting in, reading comfortably. I think I'm going to do something like a quiet evening light, the colors of sunset will go nicely with the purple sweater.

youre doing a great job. the colors are too vivid though, try to dirty them up a little. clothes will be worn and tired, vivid lothes look fake.

also you need to add in some shadow, but that might come with the color changes. still you need to add in some shadow.

i know this is a work in progress, but the color does need to be addressed.

good work so far!

This is a rough version of course. I've worked on it, but I'm still playing around with Multiply layers (shadows) and blending, but the colors are so bright because I wanted to start with full saturation and dullen it from there.
I've found that I can get the best shadows if I use fully saturated colors, Multiply them down with a blurry black airbrush at low flow, and perhaps go over it a few places with the Dodge and Burn tools. There are some astonishingly good tutorials out there, I've learned that there is a lot I have yet to learn!

Thanks for the help, too - I would like to find a better method for shadows, as I know mine isn't perfect. I just can't find a better one...
