Some of my work
 

Hey all, here is some of my work. I'm studying to be a graphic designer, but would like to go into illustration later on. I've been drawing for about 16 years now, only taking it on seriously in the last few. Here is a link to my page, http://watsondonald.deviantart.com/

AND here are some samples. *My scanner really sucks and makes things a little blurry/smudgy. Working on getting a better one.* Let me know what you think:

Nice stuff, I like your eye for colors and shading, also I dig your Logan.

Friendly suggestions
This is similar to earlier shadowing I did - May I suggest learning what I call "The Color wheel" of which reqires learning what warm and offset colors to use additional colors to show depth, perception, and dimension - not to mention allowing it to look less flat

I can give more details on this and even provide samples based on my art if interested

Re: Some of my work
 

I like you work fella, really like your use of colour and shading keep up the work work.:)

@Arch Nerd: Thank you, I did a reverse one with Batman, but I don't think it came out quite as well.

@Grafffik: Will do and thanks for the suggestion. Colouring has never been my thing. Only started getting into it when I started a webcomic with a buddy of mine. But any help you could offer me I'd appreciate!

@B-man: Thank you sir:)

More on the way!!

Re: Some of my work
 

I added some colors to a chest area of one of your images - the colors are subtle not harsh - done to original size

more deliberate and darker tone of the colors -> http://i516.photobucket.com/albums/u...rt/chest-2.jpg

depends on your intent - some like subtle - some like harsh - some like it so-so (sounds like life)

save it on your hdd zoom to larger to see details

Re: Some of my work
 

I see what you mean there and thanks for the examples! That really helps :)

Here is a little poster I slapped together for fun in class today:

adding additional tones not only helps make it less flat - it helps make the image look less dull - with the right colors and color combos you can make it come alive - there are color wheels - if you usephotoshop - the colors next to that color are usually sympathetic otherwise yo can buy professional color wheels

Re: Some of my work
 

Yeah I'll definitely check into that and thank you for the help. Colouring was never really my thing, but I started a webcomic a little while ago with a friend and I kinda threw myself into it.
