Kara-lija's fanart...

Really love your lines on your pictures, the grimmjow one was probably your best coloring the rest seems really odd colored but it works. good stuff!

Thanks! I'm curious though, in what way is it odd? I just want to know ~~~ I have a tutorial of sorts explaining the way I do color (it's all by Copic marker, with highlights and lighting work done on a super old program Corel Photopaint9 )

Hi sorry didnt see your reply, well i guess its just depends on the persons taste . What i see in the way you color just seems like big air brush, not very detailed and the lighting effects look really fake compared to how real you drawn the fan art. (by lighting effects i mean the shiny glare off things like orihimes hairpins.) But none the less they come off really nice, the grimmjow one stuck out to me cause the colors really blended well and well less shiny glare thingies on that one

Yeah, I guess it is one of those personal taste things. ^^; I love the glow (I'm a chick, I LOVE the shiny ), and that's why I always add it to my pics. And of course it's not going to please everyone.

As far as the airbrush effect, it's probably because I use the blend tool alot! I don't use Photoshop, so it's hard to keep my lines clean. Hahaha excuses, excuses, right?

If you're interested I do have a brief tutorial of sorts that just explains the (long, drawn-out) process of how I do my art: http://kara-lija.deviantart.com/journal/14947099/

If you're interested that is. It's quite different from most other peoples' drawing/coloring ways
