Batman Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 So as some of you might know i am applying for an UFA pet. I have created a picture I am pretty happy with but now I am super worried to color it. I hate coloring pictures because I want the colors to come out right and they never seem to. Does it seem like it is unfinished if I don't or is it okay? I can add the picture if you want to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuroida Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 well I think that if there's amazing shading there shouldn't be a problem. I personally shade my pics because I can't color for my life....maybe seeing the picture would be a bit more helpful :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 First, I'd love to see the picture. (And most that reply, will probably say the same.) Second, how do you plan on coloring it? Is it a computer image, or will you be using crayons, colored pencils, etc? It also kind of depends on the species/color of the pet, in my opinion.

Rae Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I'd love to see a picture. I think some pictures look better colored, but to be sure I'd need to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Okay i guess I shouldn't have poofed after posting this. I am just worried to color it because of all the different color purples I will need. I don't overly know how to color it in color pencils considering I only have maybe 2 different shades of purple none of which really fit for Jhudora. Then I some how have to color the krawk too. This goes along with the story I wrote by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 It's a beautiful picture! Personally, I would definitely color it. I think adding color, will add more personality to the picture. What color is the Krawk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 It is dariagin. So most of the picture is purple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 You could use a purple and a pink/fushia and adding in some green for Jhudora, then a more average purple for the Krawk. I'm not real great with coloring pencils, but I think you could lightly shade the purple on the Krawk with black, to darken it a bit.

Tyler. Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 that picture doesn't seem complete without color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuroida Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Yeah. I'd say color it. Great picture though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 You should color it :) And start by making a color scheme... This site might help you [http://colorschemedesigner.com/] since you get different shade of the colors, and can get the complementary, etc. (Green is complementary of Purple for instance). And if you make a digital color version, then you can make different versions of it and select the one you prefer :) If you really don't want to color it, you might want to shade with with pencils. Get a 3B or higher to do so. To get a nice nice nice black shade, put a metal ruler behind your paper when you draw and then take a lighter pencil (such as 3H) to fill in the small holes. Example of what I rambled about : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
