[239] "Don't Talk Like That, Kakashi!"

[BuakawPorPramuk]

Spoiler

This may be my first Naruto coloring, however, I'm not a noob when it comes to Photoshop.

I got pretty excited after hearing the Kakashi Gaiden was going to get animated, so I felt like coloring something with Minato in it. Luckily I found the Zarosaki tutorial, and I used the example panel they provided. My tablet is broken, and no matter how many times I tried painting the background with a mouse, I just couldn't get it the way I liked it. So I used a background from the anime, if that wasn't already obvious.

Anyways, if anybody could give me some constructive criticism or point out some mistakes I made (besides the background), it would be greatly appreciated.

Very nice BuakawPorPramuk. Wow your name is hard to spell lol, but I like both your coloring, and profile pic. Does that mean you're a Muay Thai fighter? If so, that's very cool, and I hope you do well in your future fights. Well, I like what I see, so I hope you come back again sometime soon.

great cell shade

For your first time it's great. You just need practise with lightsources. I assume you ripped the background from the anime, that's nice, but you should try to make your own.

first coloring, and you kick most artists ass around here! nice job, but can rly comment on the background for obvious reasons. you did use a great palette though. keep it up, hope to see more from you!

yknow it isnt all that bad

look at other people's work (the good people atleast) and copy their techniques n shit

especially the shading, thats the worst part of your's, imo

 

[lee-nus]

admittedly, the shading is not perfect in all areas, but yours has way more dynamics than 95% of the other "colorists" at this place. so, i dont agree with bohemia and pineappleherb here.

also, despite it being cellshading (where most works look the same), your style has an original look, and a much more interesting one than what im used at seeing here. and, its only a first try. guys, you need to chill a little! XD

It is exactly identical as the anime. And IMO that is not a "style" it's just copying. You need to be more creative to make your cel shading look original.

I meant the shading style.

 

[pineappleherb]

the bottom lip throws everything off, btw

 

[lee-nus]

I meant the shading style.

sure, but im talking about shadow placement and form. most other people are very angular in their cellshading. since this is his first work, i think its more important to lift out the strong points. and for a first work it is very good. there are no grey pixels for instance, which noobs almost always miss.

i will agree with pineappleherb that the lip is completely off. well, you cant nail everything on a first try though... and i have still seen so many more horrible cellshaded colorings coming from more experienced artists.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I'll post another coloring once I get the time, I'll see if I can do a full page.

Yes, I train Muay Thai.

However, this name and profile pic belongs to another. Buakaw Por Pramuk is one of my many idols in the Muay Thai world, and also one of the most well known in the West.

Thanks for the support. I have no fights planned at the moment, as I'm focusing more on my education. Once I'm done though, it's straight back to training.

It's ok, I welcome all forms of criticism, as long they give a reason. After all, art will always ever be subjective, when I post a piece I never expect to please everyone. Personally, I prefer the cell shading style and "anime" look, which is probably why Dynamic_Dragon is my favorite artist. But that's just me.

I appreciate your kind words though.

That's true, I didn't put much effort to differentiate them.

But as I mentioned, the thought of KG getting animated was what inspired me to color it in the first place. So I tried to color it as I would imagine it would look like in the anime. I used a max of about 3 tones for each color and applied the 2nd shade very sparingly. I could've added more detail but it wasn't my intent at the time, perhaps on my next coloring.

the bottom lip throws everything off, btw

I see what you mean.

It was the angle of his face that threw me off initially, just didn't look right every time I applied it. But eventually, that's how it ended up as.
