The Nexus Coloring Book

*looks for attached pic but it seems to be squirreled away*

Once you click on it, you should see this dialog box pop up.



This is where you request the image be deleted. It also ask for a reason, which you would then add. (Note, this is the same method for someone to report an image made by others, that you can report about, whether wanting it deleted or censored But I doubt this will get much use really. At least that's my guess? Hope this helps.

Sorry, had some issues posting. First had to resize them, then acted up when I tried to post both together. But this will work fine.

Generally I'd use either Multiply or now mostly just Colour layers. The way I see it Multiply layers attempt to maintain the saturation of the colour you've selected by darkening the values. Colour layers attempt to maintain the values by reducing the saturation. Of course this only applies when you try creating a colour with a hue saturation and brightness value that isn't possible like a 100%brightness 100%saturation colour. In that case multiply would reduce the brightness and give you a very reddy red whereas colour would give you a white.

Generally if you want to use multiply layers you should, as was mentioned earlier always use full brightness colours to paint with so if you want to colour picker you have to change it to select this layer only, presuming your using Multiply on the layer settings not the brush.. You also are restricted to one layer for colouring with multiply since each pass will darken some of your brightest points unless your selecting the perfect saturation for each point in your image. That's the reason I tend to use colour layers now fairly exclusively.

With colour layers you can add as many as you want, the values should remain effectively unaltered throughout the colouring process and you can colour pick freely because the brightness of the colour you use makes no difference.

This may be a bit overly complex and long winded but it might help some to get a better idea of how those two layer work.. Hopefully..

Best way to understand is probably to fiddle with it oneself and see what different layer modes etc does... I used to use Colour layers when I used Photoshop, but that was mainly because I had an old version of PS with a bug in it that made multiply layers kinda...stripey... So there wasn't much point ever using multiply for anything....

Nice to see some member versions coming back in.

Will definitely be watching, and trying some of these methods myself.

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been quiet, barely on the computer last couple of days. I want to say how thrilled I was to see how people played with my submitted image. Really cool to see everyone's renditions. Below is how I had colored it a couple years ago using one layer set to Color, and another Normal layer above to enhance the color depth on the hair. I could certainly go back and tweak it some more, since you can see some odd colorizing on parts of her skin. And the really flat background is a little jarring lol. Live and learn!

Interesting, pretty much polar opposite to my colouring!

Okay, I gotta throw in something here! Because I've been curious to see it in color but as of yet have been lax on time to get to it myself...



Have it!

This is AWESOME T-girl!!

Is the idea that someone give colouring this a go? If so, you could put this up for a collaboration in the collaboration thread! That'd be cool!
