Woot! Hot damn, I love how you lay down colour. The bush work on the top one and Loki's helmet is fascinating. Is this digital? If so, what is your technique?

[mmartianchild]

oh gosh, thanks a bunch! um, yes it is digital- ... I don't really have a.. a 'formal' (I guess?) technique or I don't really know what you mean by 'technique' - um, but I use SAI Painter and Photoshop to draw..
um, I guess that isn't very helpful- I used photos for reference while painting um
..ahh-
really, I'm still an amateur at this and these were really rushed, but I'm glad you like it!

This is really nicely done! I love your coloring. My favourite pic is Loki. Kust love the way you color his eyes and his helmet! :D

I guess what I am most interested is some information about how you use your brushes, such as what type and opacity, etc. if you are willing to share. I really like the results.

[mmartianchild]

um, I just use the default brushes that are already set in the program. most of the time I use the Rough - Flat tip brush preset, or just the regular round brush....

as for opacity, in SAI I would keep it on all the way, since the brush tool already blends as you overlap your brush strokes.

um, for Photoshop which I use sometimes too, I usually just keep the opacity at a lower number, around 25-45 percent.. it's tedious but it makes the colors more gradual..?

if you're just starting off, you should definitely experiment and just play around to get different results, and to see which one's good for you! I'm sorry if I couldn't be of much info- I'm definitely not a professional in digital painting >
