Well I recently started doing some anime sketches and finally got to bring them into photoshop and add color to them. Here are two that I've done so far, But I'll be updating this as I create more. If there are any you would like me to try go ahead an request it and I'll give it a shot.

And finished the Shana one, took forever on the coloring today. Now to decide who to do next.

How long does it take u to draw by hand? then color it in?

rockenroll4life · 11-14-2008, 09:20 AM

Well it really depends on the complexity of the drawing. As you can see as you look at each on of the sketches they gain more lines as they go, so far. More lines equal more time to draw, plus any touch up and fixes I go back and make. I'll just use Shana as an example now.

Sketching - Roughly 30 minutes or so, give or take a little.
Coloring - Probably 2-3 hours. Almost everything on the colored image is a separate layer which helps save a ton of time. First I start with an outline layer than gives the basic black lined outline, this part usually takes the longest. Then I go in and make layers for particular parts and color them in, (skin, hair, eyes, mouth, shadowing, etc).

I think the Shana one had like 13 layers just by itself (no including the original picture).

do you use a tablet?

rockenroll4life · 11-14-2008, 05:58 PM

No, I don't have one at the moment, though it would probably help out quite a bit.

Ya I have been wanting a tablet for a while to. they are so fun to use. lol I can see how long it would take to outline with out one.
