Artist's Comments

Here is an ink wash dinosaur I did the other night as a test to try some different ink wash techniques. I want to color it in Photoshop. Does anyone have any tips on how I should color it? I think I have to use channels to color.

You can use Channels, or you can set the brown lines on a separate layer and paint underneath them. (You have to go through Channels to do that, but you do the colours themselves on a separate Layer).

I would love to give tips, even though I'm far from an expert both in color and Photoshop. Nonetheless, I still would like to help. first, I would like to ask: the feel of this drawing could easily change with color, so what exact feel are you going for? To me, it almost looks like its keeping vigilant for either smaller prey to snack on, or bigger prey that could snack on him. And final: The environment should definitely effect the background, even if it's a simple one or two colors. Just an idea of its habitat could give us an idea of what the primary color should be.

oops, I'm dumb. I didn't read the "how" part. I thought you said "What" should I color it.

If you want to do a real quick painting job, just make the image a layer and set its setting to 'Multiply'. Then just make another layer underneath and paint away =)

Normaly i would clean it until it's left with only the outlines. But i think you want to preserve the whole picture right?

Don't color it! Leave it the way it is!

I tried, but honestly, I know squat about photoshop. I mean, I use it but as far as know ALL the basics, forget about it.

So, I guess out of the whim (and because everyone else is saying it) channels and layers, my friend. Channels and layers.

Tee-hee! I love the way you interpret figures! As always, your works are so unique and harmonious.

Maybe you should try painting scales/texture? I am not sure though, it may ruin the playful mood of the dinosaur. =P

Either way, it already looks brilliant.
