Description
I finally got it colored... I'm starting to wonder if I should of outlined it before I colored this though...
Oh well... There's a few more little comments on the Rough Version...
I recently watched a Horror movie that's just as old as I am called Dolls (an old couple makes these killer dolls, and they come to life at night; they "kill" those who were evil, but spare those who are innocent and child in heart. The people who are killed/punished are eventually turned into dolls themselves, and given a second chance to be loved. It's a complex thing to explain - here's a link to the Wikipedia article on it: [link] ) ).
Maybe that's why I ended up drawing this Bill doll... except he acts like a little kid when he sees artificially-flavored candy, so he doesn't deserve to be a doll. XD
I used the Magic Wand tool again, and used basic gradients and brushes to color this pic in. Took about 5 hours and multitudes of layers .
Aw, Bill looks cute and pretty with pink.
(Especially in Victorian times, pink was originally for baby boys and blue was for baby girls; why the switch? Beats me.
)As for his eye... well, it's an Emo doll (kinda
). Let me know what you think via comments!

This looks amazing. Do you use the Magic Wand to color all of your drawings or just certain ones? I'm still new to Photoshop.

The pics I made after "Adam and Eve" were colored with some use of the Magic Wand and brushes; prior to that, I was using brushes and the eraser to remove any color that went outside their lines (a very pain in the butt process, and very time-consuming too, but it's still a very basic and sometimes a more practical way of coloring).
Using the Magic Wand tool cuts some time off the coloring process, but it's also a more complex way of coloring and adding texture.
Don't worry if you don't know how to use Photoshop that much - I'm still learning new things about it even though I had it for over two years. XD
The best way to learn how to use it is by lots of experimentation, reading magazines, and watching podcasts. The guide tends to be my last resort - it's like reading a dictionary in my opinion. XD

^^ Can you recommend some good books or magazines about using Photoshop?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I tend to read Photoshop Creative and Advanced Photoshop magazines.
As for books... I don't know any on top of my head. XD I have Adobe Photoshop CS one-on-one by Deke McClelland because my father bought it, but I don't read it much because I have Photoshop Elements, not CS. But I'm sure there's other good books out there - you just have to visit a bookstore or library and just look around.

Thanks, I'm glad to hear you like it.
Eh... ja, about that eye... I just thought it'd make Bill a lot cuter and cuddlier if I had his eye like that.
Looks like it worked. XD
