Night...

Chimpeggs asked me to colour her pic and list the steps I use to colour my drawings. Here goes:
1) Start with a base colour. You can worry about the shading later, but a good base colour is what you need to start. If the base you want to use is white, it's best if you colour your background layer a light colour, so you can see where the white goes. I usually have my lines on layer 2, the colour on layer 1, and the background colours on layer 0.
2) Usually, after I lay down a base colour on a certain part, I start shading it right away. Personally, I like to start with the skin, then hair, and making my ways to the clothes last. For shading, use a colour that is slightly darker than your base. KEEP THE BASE COLOUR AND YOUR OTHER SHADES SEPERATE, as in don't be making the base colour paletty-thing into your shade colour, you need them seperate. Follow the fold lines and remember where you're light source is. I can't really explain HOW to shade, really, it's too complicated to explain. It'll come with time and practice.
3) Pick another colour a darker shade then the one from before and follow the shadows again. If you feel really artistic and ambitious, you can pick a lighter shade (lighter than your base colour) and add highlights, but I won't go into that.
4) Pay attention to details!! Try to add depth with the shading, you don't want it to look flat. Always clean up the lines and edges of the colours to make the pic look clean.
5) Don't over-do it on folds and things, the more stuff you have going on with colours and lines and such, the messier the pic will look. This is really just my opinion, because I like my drawings to look clean as I can make them. Others may disagree. It's all personal preference.

I think that is it. Tell me if I forgot anything.

changed it to father severity.
