Good try for your second attempt at coloring something like this. Well it seems like you're useing the right colors, but since this only your second attempt at coloring like this, you obviously you need to improve in all areas. If you dedicate some of your free time to praticing this, eventually you'll get better. The one thing I found, that I thought was kind of odd, is that you colored Tsunade's eyelids the same color as her hair. Maybe you were trying to make it looks like she has eyelashes, but unfortunately Kishimoto doesn't really provide pre-drawn eyelashes on his characters, so adding them can be a tricky thing. Well anyways, Tsunade's eyelids should be colored the same color as her skin, instead of as her hair. The last thing I will suggest to you, is that you should start learning how to add shadows to your colorings. Well anyways, good try for your second time, just don't be afraid to ask for advice from some of the more experienced colorists here.

ok, i'll give you some constructive criticism since its your second work:

* contrast, contrast, contrast - this picture lacks it and you could use tons more of it.
* shading. there is very little to this picture, so it looks terribly flat.
* background. doesnt need to be fancy, but the color of the current one is pretty much the worst possible match given the palette you used for tsunade.
* grey pixels. there should be none. unlock your layers and make sure you fill everything in. this comes with practice, and almost all rookies color this way and make these mistakes.
* details. look at tsunade's eyes. wtf is up with those eyelashes or wat should i call them? XD you would be better of with a much darker color.

also, pay attention to your light source when coloring.
then, all you need to do is mind the above and you should be better off next time. let it take a few times though, it comes with practice! dont be afraid to mimic others at first, its a good way to learn, but after you learn your way around coloring, originality is very important!

well, hope that helps! good luck!

Tsunade's eyelids are black <.<
Not that bad of a job on the lineart, now keep up the work and try shading it.

I cant understand meaning of the word "shade".I want to know how to shade picture.

 

[RyuSensei]

Do shadows.

 

[sashanek]

I do shadows.And i have one question.Do you draw shadows with a "brush" in photoshop?

 

[Toobi]

just select the area where you want to put the shadows and put a dark color, is very easy

the brush is one of many ways to shade (= lay down shadows) in photoshop. i use it, because i find it most versatile and easier to control than other tools.

 

[y A M A T O]

not bad for a beginner. sashanek, i suggest you to looking for a tutorial on DA, it's full of useful stuff.
anyway, thanks for colouring it

Ahh in this instance, and in most Tsunade images, you're right. I guess I was just thinking more realisticly, but either way her eyelids, shouldn't be colored blond. I guess you could say, that they're supposed to be her eyelashes, but if that were the case, then they would look way to thick. Despite that, and maybe another thing or 2, this wasn't a bad attempt at coloring this panel, considering this is only his second coloring.
