Little kid and Kitty cat
This is a submission that I did for Pixish. They are, in their own words: "...a place where people who want images and people who make images can easily find each other and collaborate on creative projects together." Cool huh? Anyway, just for contemplation, I posted the same picture below, minus highlights and color adjustments.
Bleh! So dull! But this is how I originally colored it. I first do the midtones, then the shadows, and then the highlights. (this is before the highlights) And THEN after everything is done, I flatten the image so that the whole figure is on one layer, and play around with color adjustments. These settings can be found under the "image -> adjustments" file menu.
To get the image looking like it does at the very top, I increased saturation and contrast, and played around with "color balance", mostly adding more green to the picture, as well as a bit more red. And voila! (^_^)
(First inked on paper, then colored in photoshop. 2008)

AMAZING what the color balance did! This is a cute peice! ^___^ Did someone ask you to draw it?
Yeah, like I said, it's for Pixish, a website thing where people put up requests for art and artists can do stuff for them. You'd have to check it out when you have time, It's hard to explain and cool enough to take a look at it.
