Coloring Test 2 - Grace-A-Monsters!
🕑 Added 2018-11-15 05:41:53 +0000 UTC Pressed for time and eager to practice with color, I chose to do another color test for today's sketchbook.So, of course, this took me more than a couple of hours.
Fortunately, I think I'm getting a better feel for what I'm doing, because that's how practice works. Also, some of that time was spent doing things like adding to my presently incomplete custom swatch library. Several of the hues in the last panel in particular weren't part of it beforehand, and each of those took a few minutes to add.
I also settled on colors I can use later for Justin, Ellen, and Grace (Grace as a frame of a reference for how to color the Grace-a-monsters, which TECHNICALLY didn't make it any easier. That itself was a worthwhile lesson, however).
I'm not 100% satisfied with all my color choices, but I decided to call "time" and show my work as is. I'd be refining this for hours if I let myself.
Next week, I hope for original sketchbooks again. I'm prioritizing story and EGSNP, however, so I'll play it by ear.

Art is never finished, only abandoned...

I now realize that Gracemander must be lighter than she looks. It isn't just a matter of Justin's strength; there's also the issue of balance.

Looks great! Also, "You gotta have blue hair!" - Strong Bad

Looks great! (Out of curiosity, did you make any changes to your technique between the previous color test and this one? The colors seem a bit richer to me in this one, but it might have more to do with the clothing and backgrounds in each strip than the technique...)

As I said previously in the original comic's thread on Reddit, those are still some nice soolnds on ShellGrace v2. <a href="http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/Soolnds" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/Soolnds</a>
