Thank you! And I think so as well, the full color feels more...real? Some people are really good at gray scale coloring and you cant tell the difference but to me maybe because I spent hours on it and still doesnt feel like originally colored.

Yeah I think it gets more realistic though I suck at doing this technique ^^' you have tested changed the colors or the values or something similar?

Yeah! I watched few different videos of people coloring from gray scale to full on colors and they all used Soft Light Layer above the Black and White and work their way thru it, after that they start to play around with the Hue, saturation , etc... and when that looks acceptable they paint over it all with colors if needed, so its actually a lot of steps but the most important one is the Soft Layer one I think.

There's many ways to go about it. Is it photoshop or what program is it? I've used sai, krita, ps, corel and many other programs. Try test different settings, because I find the soft light layer to be kinda confusing to color in sometimes. But I am not sure how they do it can you link me a example?

I'm not that great with PS, I used to use SAI and then transfer the drawings to PS just for the extra glowy effects, but now days I got an iPad with pen to draw with and thats pretty much it that I been using since the last few months, the program there called Procreate and it is a lot similar to PS but a lot more simpler you could say so pretty much a SAI kek.

Sure here Ill link you the 2 I watched.

/The 2nd one I didnt fully watch cuz got a bit confused over the different layers, but I think thats the one where they paint over the entire thing.

I haven't tested Procreate hehe ^^ oh and thank you Hm, I never go so far in art really doing so many different settings, I like keeping it simple. I think this particular technique needs practise. I think they have done the same thing for way too long (just kidding) what I want to say is that it is their way of doing things, you can do the same thing but with different layers just if you know how to use it. But one thing I noticed was for example the skin. The skin is so much more greyish than we think it is many times. In the video 1# she uses red for the nose for example, so I think maybe some color variation in skin and different places would be something worth looking into. In video #2 there is also color variation, but it is subtle and feels almost like only one color even though the face has many different colors in it. I believe you'll get where you want keep it up!

Indeed, its all about technique and practice, and yeh the 2nd video this person has been doing this for quite sometime with no huge break gabs (unlike me) I tend to stray a lot and then come back and expect my drawing to be improved derp <-< but yeh thank you, Ill keep on going and practicing till I find what coloring technique Im most good/ comfortable at.
