@Diabolo Oh wow that's freaking gorgeous! I use to color with watercolors, but I am so lazy I can't bother to take 2 steps over to my scanner these days.
@hades Oh wow I love that fire effect in the last page!
@ScampiCub Oh that's a handy gif
@popsiclestick Wow you do some really nice moody lighting in your scenes! So pretty!
For me I prefer digital painting. Traditional materials cost money and add up over time. So I decided to make a large investment in a good tablet and Sai Painter. For me I use three programs XD It's a process.
Panel layout : Manga Studio (I got the cheap old version that's like $20)
Sketch, Lineart, Coloring: Sai Painter
Text, Touchups, Color Correction: Photoshop
In terms of technique I prefer color cel-shading because it's a bit faster, however I can also do a painterly style. I'm not the best artist, but if you want a personal tutorial on digital coloring you can contact me. Step by step pictures to me only reveal only the half of it. I find it most helpful if you have someone talk you through every single decision they make as they color. Just let me know what style you are going for. I'm pretty good at looking at any art style and determining how to match the style.
