An exercise in hand coloring...

[RAE99]

Hand coloring with the mouse or tablet can be fun. The thing to remember is to make a different layer for each color so you can control them individually.

Great work! The last one is wonderful! I do sketch work with my tablet just like you would with pencil and paper and I always put skin/eyes/hair, etc on different layers in the base and then many layers for highlights and background. Gives you great control over the blend of color and you can apply filters to different layers of the pic that will give it an amazing look. Thanks for sharing you work!!:clap: :clap:

First-class piece of work Ron, the finished picture has a simplicity reminiscent of the Victoria Era.
