Description
Here's some progress on 11 - to prove I'm doing it!Its outlining another experiment I'm trying. I wonder... will starting off painting in grayscale have a better effect on the picture? I'm going to try painting this page in all flat gray, then colorizing it.
This is the intro for the sister Michelle. She's waiting outside for her other siblings to leave school. She's very airy and artistic - she finds immense beauty and fascination in even the simplest of objects.
-------------EDIT------------
I'm starting my colorization experiments, and they're looking pretty nice. I'll probably just keep posting bits here and there as I go to see what kind of feedback I get.
- And the two identical twins (Yes, fully intended to dress, look, and act EXACTLY like the other) are Lily and Ariel. Triple character intro ftw.

This page is looking really good, I still love the middle panel the best. Although I did notice that in the last panel the blonde girl's eyebrows seem a little thicker than they do in the second panel.

nah, I'm hoping to get this thing done soon. I'm definitely going to avoid color for a while since thats partially what takes so much time. I might do color one last time for the next strip, considering the last two sisters get introduced next comic and it might be nice to get a color reference on everyone. Otherwise, i want to just keep working on better linework, poses, expressions and actually continuing the story

Aha-- creative design on the twins. Typically you get either the light/dark twins design (where they're inverses of each other) or the we're-meant-to-be-thought-of-as-a-unit/single-character where they DO look/talk/act alike and mostly in tandem; which is sort of creepy, don't you think? Very Borg.
So I like that you HAVE avoided the inverse thing, but have still provided that hairclip for giving them some individuality, and the ability to treat them as separate people. Thank you for providing that hairclip!

Looking good, but she kind of looks a little cross eyed in the middle panel.

Lookin' very good; seems the grey bg is working for you. You could also try doing the underpainting in pale green, that gives an interesting effect (old master style).

haha id love to try that, but pale green is one of the areas i'm most colorblind in

Looks great man, only thing I could say is to try adding some red tint to the tips of the fingers, nose, and a bit around the ear. Other than that the coloring came out great.

I also recently tried doing that grayscale to color method of shading, and was very pleased with the results, I am just a beginner at digital drawing, but comparing the grayscale to color method as opposed to the straight color method, I feel it helps me to keep the colors more realistic.

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping too. I'm actually colorblind, so Im wondering if it will really hope me get richer tones before I start tossing hues on. That would be fantastic. Not to mention I won't have to worry as much about nitpicking with shades while actually shading.

I never would have guessed that you were colorblind. Are you only partially colorblind?

Yea, just partially, but enough to be a real pain sometimes

It's looking good, the white stripe in her hair makes me want to know more, I'm drawn in even though it's only partially complete.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha awesome
The white stripe has actually a ton of significance. You'll find out about it as the story goes on.
