Doing it the hard way 2

A word of advice about colouring, it's really about understanding values. If you have good values in your image (values are what you see when you look at grayscaled images), then it almost doesn't matter what colours you use. Just blooping on colour does teach you things and might be a good approach, but eventually, you will notice that good images are usually separated into 4-5 "main" values.

As for anatomy, be sure to practice understanding and especially proportion rather than copying images to "think" you've gotten it right. Chances are you haven't, and even so, you may forget it soon.

You can always get some of the free Loomis books. The figure drawing one is great:

Yeah I know what you mean, altough I dont draw anatomically correct figures alot, I still draw them sometimes because I know I will forget if I dont (happened before ).

I've read those loomis books before but it was a while back and altough I already have this book about anatomy by Christopher Hart (just really basic stuff in there) I think I'm just going to read those loomis things again sometime soon cause there's alot of usefull stuff in there.

As weird as it may sound, that barbarian is the first piece I've fully coloured in all the time I've been drawing (other than crayon, pencils and stuff when I was a kid),also the devil doesnt count since that's just using a filter and 3 different colours For some reason I just hated colouring :s, untill now

The reason I tried colouring like that is because of this http://www.3dluvr.com/content/article/49
I read that about a month ago and decided I really want to be able to do that too. I know I can, I just need some practice
