Hi,

this is my comeback in Naruto coloring. After 1 1/2 pause, I have made new Colorations with my newest graphic tablet. I hope you enjoy it.

Most of them look alright, and a couple of them look pretty good. I think the red you used for Itachi's sharingan, in the page where a tear rolls down his face, is a little bit to bright, and I find it interesting that you made the outside of Sasuke's shirt neon green in the last one. Besides those 2 things, everything else looks alright to me, but I am wondering how long it's been since you last colored on a daily basis. You said, "after 1 1/2 pause," but do you mean 1 and a 1/2 years or months? Oh yeah, and by the way, welcome back. I think it's good that your starting to color again.

They are certainly interesting looking. Your color palettes lack any depth to them, by which I mean you are basically sticking to a few (overly bright, in a few cases) colors and then it looks as if you're just using the dodge/burn tool for shadows/highlights. Ugh.

You also need to make sure your shadows support the highlights you have in the image as well. For the Deidara panel, to have highlights as extreme as you have them, there would need to be some corresponding extreme darks as well and there aren't. In fact, the rest of the shadowing is completely vague. Same with the Dei cover page as well. Actually, making sure the light source is consistent overall is very important.

Also, it looks like there are some white jaggy artifacts in your lineart. Do you color under/over the lines or do you color within them? If it's the latter, you need to switch to using layers and coloring under/over the lineart instead. That way you don't get any uncolored white spots where the fill didn't match up with the lines completely. I can see that in the Yondaime cover (his pants, cloak edge against the toad) and the Itachi smiles (crows' tails) especially.
