Okay >.< I need you guys (gals)' opinion on my colouring... Which style do you think is better? Comments and suggestions are welcome.

MANGA STYLE
Time used: usually within or about 1 hour
Coloured with mouse

ANIME STYLE
Time used: obviously more than an hour since I am new to it
Needs my tablet and a lot of space... (in the living room =_=)

Well, I personally like the softer coloring on your manga drawing and manga drawings in general. Like I said, the colors look softer and therefore better in my opinion. Still, you did a good job on the anime one despite being new to it.

they both look very nice^^ hm....i think it would have to be a combination of both XD hair, eyes, skin, and staff from first, and clothes from second!

btw, how did you do the sharp edges on the shading of the cloak?

Thanks for all your comment! I guess I wil continue with the manga way for now, if I have time I will try some more other ways of colouring =D

yume_chan>> That is just drawn by hand, setting the brush to very small, like 3 to 7 pixels. (and the actualy image size about 2000 pixels in length)

Really? O_O Scanning at 200dpi gives letter sized paper about 1600 to 2000+ pixels in the computer... that's the original size of all my images and manga, but I resized them and delete the super-big files =D

I like the anime one, I like shiny.

Still, I think you should stick to the one you like best.

Thanks Yukihime. I like the manga way of colouring because it is faster and I am more used to it, but I am trying to colour in anime style because *cough* I hope to make my own Contradiction anime by Flash... <- need to find and learn this software as well...

Saku>> Thanks!! Combining the styles will be like... ??? because they use different media >.<

I like the first one more. ^^ The second one Look good I just can’t see Contradiction in the anime stly tho. Unless it’s moving that is. XD

3D studio(I know it as 3d studio Max) Is a 3d animation program. I HATE it with an undying passion. Some times it will kill the computer it’s on. And it’s kind of hard to find tool even if you look in the book it comes with. And it’s HECK of a lot of money.

And as for anime, I’ll be doing the opening and endings to my mangas.
