Oct 21, 2008 14:19

I swear it's a coincidence that I'm posting on a Tuesday again. ^^;



Series: NANA
Character: Reira (Layla Serizawa)
Panel: n/a
Credits: Ai Yazawa for manga panel
Software: Photoshop CS (1)
Tablet: none
Original Scan: found here





Comments:
T-To be honest, I completely forgot that Ai Yazawa already coloured Reira herself when I started working on this scan. ><; But since I haven't coloured larger scans in a long time, I had already started, and I need more practice, I kept going anyway.

I didn't look at the original colouring by Ai Yazawa while working, so that I wasn't influenced by her colours, and thus I present my version of Reira. XD; (since Yazawa's colours are amazing and bold and strong, while mine are usually softer.)

Strangely, it didn't take as long as I anticipated (it's the fastest manga colouring I've done ><; maybe 4-5 hours? I didn't keep track) and I'm happy with the way it turned out. The layers at the bottom of her dress took the longest. And ahhh hair. x___X So many curls. The shading doesn't really show up here, but I hope it adds to the overall "feel". I wonder if having a tablet would've made them easier?

I-I'll stop blabbing now. I hope you like it~
If you'd like to use the manga colouring for anything, please let me know, and remember to give credit? ^^;
