[QUOTE="Trainz, post: 1277744, member: 2122"] Thanks for all the advice. Of course I don't take offense from your tips. Only a moron would refuse helpful tips. A few things... First, I admit that only about 25% of what you told me made sense to me. Not that you're not clear, it's just that I'm new to this (a passing hobby as it is), and I don't have the technical knowledge you have. I understand layers (which I admit, I didn't use). The greenish purple over-pants started purple. Then my girlfriend looked over my shoulder and said "He looks gay...". Not what I intended (for the record, this is in NO-WAY meant as an homophobic comment), so I tried to fix it the best I could (I could have pasted the original B&W version and started from scratch on that section, but I botched... noob ;)). Second, I work with Paint Shop, never used Photo Shop. Third, I followed your link, and realised a PRO had just taken the time to assist me, and I am honored. Really nice job on that panel. If I *somewhat* understand what you meant, did you mean to leave the original B&W pic untouched, add a layer, and apply color to the new layer, NOT the first original one ? I mostly worked with fills on the pic. I shouldn't use fills ? If it's not too much to ask, I would love it if you took some more time and explain in layman's terms a few basic rules of coloring, while keeping in mind that I use Paint Shop. The things I would like explained more: "You can change the pencil line to monochromatic color, like the raw sienna that you did for yours." I wasn't aware I did this... please define [i]pencil line[/i] and [i]monochromatic.[/i] "Then the majority of work is done on that multiply level. Everything has to be done by hand (meaning brush or pen tool), no fills... too many little, niggly marks and motes.

"sometimes using the water setting on the brush tool, sometimes not" What is a water setting ? "there is some weird stuff happening in the pants" Aren't we getting a tad too friendly ? We barely just met... :D Again, thank you very much for your assistance ! Khan, this hijack is getting a tad out of hands... if you wish, I will move this conversation to a new thread. Just ask.
