Colouring #10
As promised, a colouring dump 8DD These are all made in January. I sure coloured a lot this month...
Original Scan: Volume 10 Chapter 50
Series: Nabari no Ou
Character(s): Yoite
Artist: Kamatani Yuhki
Medium: Photoshop CS
Time: 3.5 hours
I knew that I had to colour this page the moment I saw the scan ;AAAA;
Anyway. This one's quite straight forward and easy, nothing really challenging. I was surprised that I actually have some sense of the light source this time though. And then I just realized, this is the first time I coloured black hair for real - since black hair is usually already inked in manga scans.
Original Scan: Drug No. 10
Series: Gohou Drug
Character(s): Kudou Kazahaya
Artist: CLAMP
Medium: Photoshop CS
Time: 6 hours
The colour tone I used in this colouring is quite different from the ones I usually use, like the skin is more yellow this time rather than pink. I kinda like the result though. Except the fact that I spent 30 minutes just to stare at the scan and think where should the light source be, but by the time I finished the colouring I still didn't know where exactly was the light coming from |DD I also tried to be brave to add some strong blue highlights; yay me. I didn't colour the whole page since I only wanted to experiment with the tones :x
And Kazahaya, I couldn't believe your hair alone took over 40 layers skldjflksdjfl OTL
Original Scan: Retrace 9
Series: Pandora Hearts
Character(s): Oz Bezarius, Xerxes Break
Artist: Mochizuki Jun
Medium: Photoshop CS
Time: ...I honestly lost track of time. Around 12-15 hours, maybe? orz
It seems that almost everything went wrong with this colouring at the beginning...I had to redo Oz's and Break's hair two times, I think I just have an issue with shading shiny (ie. blond, silver) hair. Then when I was finally satisfied with the shading, I totally disliked the tone and had to use tens of adjustments to fix it (I was so desperate that I even used multiple layers of Channel Mixer - I barely used Channel Mixer before since the effect is so strong D8 ). So here's my story of why this page took so long. Blah.
The rest went quite well after the skin and hair though, I was quite satisfied working with those annoying screentones. xD The lighting was quite a bit of a problem in the left panel, I originally wanted the light to directly shone on Oz from the front and then have Break's shadow darken the lower part of the panel, but I don't know how to shade/create the effect D: Needs more practice with complex lightings, yes.
If you are using the colourings to make graphics, please leave a comment and credit me for the colouring. ♥
