I made an attempt to color.
I am not a pro and I have also problems with anatomy and shading but I wanted to try yours out. What you think? Smile

Well, it looks a little flat but maybe something that will help you out.

whats wrong with line art? just put it in a "seperate layer" :)
-_--_--__-____-
U can try having the lines in your head, (now thats thinking like an artist)

It works very well when your speed painting.
But then going back to painting, it is putting paint down/on (up if your Leonardo Devinche heh...), just paint the main color of the thing u want to paint and add to it! simple as that, youll get better with MORE painting.

The ppl here didnt just sit down one day and paint sweet a$$ picks in 15 minutes like they do now. And they all ~draw~ wether drawing lines with paint / zeros and ones, it dosnt matter. You want to be good dont u? So don't limit yourself by not using guide "LINES" _-peace-_

thanks for your help
in fact, when i'm working with line art, the line help to understand what i'm drawing, i've well separated part but the painting part of the drawing is very flat and need contrast, what i want to understand workig without the line is how to separate the element and how to have a less flat painting. Matthew, i love the color you used for your try, it's well contrasted and we can feel the volume of the different element. Thanks again for all your advices Very Happy

Hello again.
I just wanted to help you out a little bit more.
It always helps to think of everything you paint as sphere or cubes, round
that is. Put with a picture to show you, it�s not that super-great but shows how I mean with the round thing. Smile
