This is another shot of Nate. I cleaned up the pencils, gave it some ink and ran it through PS. I'm trying to come up with some way to color this damn project, but, I'm not satisfied with what I've come up with so far.

Let me know how you think I'm doing.

Okay, my thoughts:

Be true to your linework.

When you simplify the shading by using big and flat black areas, stay true to your descision and use big and flat colour areas also.

The linework is brilliant and has every information needed for the viewer to get the lighting and to feel that it is plastic,... so go for simple but expressive colouring.

First think of the colour and brightness of the lighted areas. What kinda light hits what kinda surface?

Try flat colouring and some well placed gradient fills, you may not feel something missing. For reference check Hellboy comics or 100Bullets...

If you want to model anything with colour, restrict yourself to use only one or two additional shades for each colour. And stay true to the hardedge black shadows by using only hardedge shades. For reference check the batman animated series (the bruce timm stuff).

example:

by the way do a colourstudy with a proper background and at least two or three different colours. not only skintone and white...;)

cheers

WOW, thanks for your comments and tips. You have given some reallly great advice. I think you're right about the flat color and minimal shades. I'll try to come up with something cool.

Thanks again.

So. Here I am :) I think it goes in the right direction. It's simply and clean (previous one was too messy). I think you should go further and simlify it even more (lights on the face - try to do them the way you did shadows). When you construct the lights and shadows try to find proper colors for them (good method is to observe some photos, nature and graphics). I hope i helped you a little.
