Digital Coloring (2/2)

Part 2 of 2.

Software used:
- Corel Painter IX.5
- Adobe Photoshop CS3 (for color retouch)

Hardware:
- Dell Inspiron 1721
- Wacom Intuos3 (6"x 11")

Music by: Does It Offend You Yeah? - You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into
Video edition: Windows Movie Maker

Here I'm coloring a gift for a friend. It's a fanart of Honeydew Syndrome characters Metis and Jay (property of Nuu, thanks for letting me abuse them for a while!). My brush of choice is Round Camelhair with various settings. Hardly a tutorial video, but you may ask questions if you have them and I'll gladly respond them :)

Total coloring time: 1 hour 36 minutes.

Side note: YES, they are both guys. It is called shonen-ai or boy's love FYI, so stop commenting on how it is "wrong" they're both men or how that "girl" doesn't really look like one; read the tags. This is what I like, what I draw, and even got paid for it at DramaQueen for a while. So, again... yes... they are both dudes, and hell, they look sexy *3*

I aim to be as good as you one day. I'm sixteen, and I practice for hours a day trying to get better DX I think it's working, but a lot of your style has been influencing my own... I love the way you draw guys :) they always look so good!

I've watched this video SOOO many times. I really hope I'll be as good as you one day, though! '^.^

@VivianAndLozo Wow, thanks! It gives me great pleasure to know that my art somehow inspires yours :)

Yes, practice is the key! Keep it up, don't give up, and I am pretty sure you'll achieve your goal. That's how I did it anyway :D
