You are definitely better than me.(what program did you use? *mantra-please dont say PS*)

LOVED the first one! I really like the yellow you used on Allen's sword.

Second 0ne, the 3rd panel is GREAT! The first 2 look a little choppy, though. Still better than me though....

3rd- D'aww. Allen's face is love. Very cute!! I like the colors in this as well!!

*puppy-eyes* can I friend you? I've had an lj for a little bit, but I still call myself a newb.

You did an amazing job X333, really love the shading on Allen's uniform in the 1st pic.

Do you think you could link me to the tutorials you used? Always wanted to learn this and seeing as how you did it came out great :3

May I friend you as well?

You did better in your first attempt than I did when I started out. :D

[stylinganji.livejournal.com]

gah omg seriously!?
your work is amazing hahah
i loveeee your icons
your work completely inspired me to first start LOL!

[carameltrap.livejournal.com]

Seriously. I goofed up in my first try at manga colouring because I didn't know there were tutorials for this sort of thing. I keep on working at it, improving the colouring style.

My work isn't that amazing but thanks. *blushes* I'm still improving, though.

[stylinganji.livejournal.com]

impressing hahaha XD

really :O ! i think is just great i love them

That's good for a first time I have to say XD I really liked it!
It looks nice and so XD

Uhm, yes I can see the real problem are the shadows. I know it's a hard topic but I would give you the tip of trying to guess where the light is looking upon the figure/character/whatever, then (I do that) create a new layer and apply a darker color for skin, clothes, etc.

I did this thing in 10 minutes, I'm not really good and it's not the same because it's a B/W picture and it's kinda "easier" to color. I kinda lost the flash and light color of Bill's eyes (Bill is the guy on the right) but I didn't really give the best of me XD

As for manga coloring this is the best example I can give you, I don't work a lot in that stuff because I'm lazy XD
