This is a picture that goes with one of my fan fics. Hound encounters Raven, the mythological trickster.

Beautiful. Simply beautiful. I just love the trees in the background, and the expression on Hound's face.

What a beautiful and sweet picture of Hound looking up with complete innocence in his eyes!:nod:

There is something that I've noticed in alot of the really good coloring work (yours included) on DA. It's that gradient pattern given to the individual facets on, in this case, Hound. I've tried figuring out how to isolate sections of layers in order to give them specific gradients without the entire layer filling up, but I've thus far failed. How is it that you accomplish this?
:iconoreobot:
Use the magic wand to select each area of the picture that you want to color. You'll need make sure you've got a line art boundary around it first, though. When the area has the flashing dashed line around it then fill it with gradient. If you want to color more than one area at a time with the same gradient, hold down shift when you select areas with the magic wand.

I'm glad to hear you like this style of coloring. :)

Thank you for your insight! I'll certainly set right to work trying this out. I'll let you know if I need further guidance.
:iconkydoon:
Oh, and by the way, those pine trees are some of the most beautiful I've ever seen! Your landscape skills are epic!
:iconoreobot:
Sure! Thanks for asking and I'm glad I could help. It took me quite a while to figure it out myself.
