I feel like I don't finalize pieces enough. I have so much fun sketching out the emotions and expressions of characters that I sometimes stiffen up and lose all that character in the clean up process.
Here are two pieces that I splashed some color on. The first was a pencil sketch that I inked and colored in PS. To me, it seems pretty lifeless. The gesture was lost and there isn't much fun to the character or story anymore. The second sketch was a pencil sketch that I colored in PS without trying to ink it. I'm liking that one much better.
I'll work on keeping story in the clean up process.

I know what you mean about finishing work. The top image, I think, is more successful than you're giving yourself credit for (the face is super charming). Maybe take another look at the mechanics of the drapery...
;P
That hair is rad. That image has something... good. A candy sort of feeling.
I love the second one. How the light is the brightest thing on the page and it's lighting his way.
I have that problem a lot. Sketching is fun, and coloring is fun... but that cleanup stage still sucks out too much life when I do it!
Your colors have been getting better :D These look awesome.
awesome! your works are great!
It is a common belief that Bingo is a game for seniors, but this is not necessarily true. These days, Bingo is one of the most popular games in the world - even more popular than the lottery.
