My friend Chris is an exquisite colorist. Just check out his samples. If you need a colorist or a digital inker, let me know, and I'll set something up.

He is really good.

Digital Colering is something I have been looking into trying, could you ask him if here are any sites or books on the subject that he would recommened?

He learned just by doing. By watching people like Laura Martin just do her thing.

lol, cool. I have been looking at a few youtube videos and just expiermenting. Just hard for me to get things I can color. some of the pages I get off the web just are not scanned that good.

what program are you using?

Photoshop CS4

got a wacom?

unfortunatly, no

he's got a pretty good one.

do you have anything to show I could send to him for advice to ya?

WACOMs make it a lot easier (I think). Although there are some artists out there that digitally color with a mouse but they're freaks of nature. lol

I have a couple CD-ROMS about digital coloring. Most of them have a few B&W samples to practice on. If you're gonna be at PoP! Goes the Fourth I will try to make copies of them for you.

I learned quite a bit from simple trial & error though.

Also, the wacom tablet changed my life. I used to get so frustrated trying to do my coloring with the mouse.

SHAME!
