Week 52: Coloring Manga
Posting in xxxholicxxx's place, as her LJ is one of the unfortunate few suffering from LJ loading problems. T∆T
General Theme
This week's general theme will be Coloring Manga, as the two of us feel we see very few B&W-to-color icons here. Your icon must use a black and white image from the manga and you get to color it in! This is not the same as desaturating a color image. You must begin with an uncolored sketch/image.
For first time colorists, here's my personal list of favorite manga coloring tutorials. It's a tad old though so if anyone has any more coloring tutorials links, comment with them separately from your entry so I may unscreen them.
¡Uno! ☆ ¡Dos! ☆ ¡Tres! ☆ ¡Cuatro! ☆ ¡Cinco! ☆ ¡Seis! ☆ ¡Siete! ☆ ¡Ocho!
Lyrics Theme
You must use at least 3 consecutive words from the provided lyrics if you decide to use this theme.
Song suggested by caesyrian, thank you.
Fix You
by Coldplay
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I...
Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Image Theme
If you choose to use the image theme, this should be the only image used in your icon.
