I think I'm okay at drawing, and I'm okay at coloring, but I feel like I don't reach my full potential unless I'm rendering in grayscale (that's what this is called) but I have no idea how to color this. I've tried following tutorials about overlays, soft light, hard light, and even just painting over it, but I just can't make it work. The only way I'm going to get color into this is if I go over it again to make a simple line-art, which I think color in like a coloring book, but doing so loses all of the nuance and blending of this render.
I should resolve to take an actual art class this summer. I can't be a shit-tier artist forever. I need to earn the money I'm making for free from you fools (I say for free, because I spend my free time drawing anyway).
For the time being though, I am just going to finish this as I normally work. I'll make a line-art, even though I'll lose a lot of the finer details in doing so, and then I'll color it, even though that could take me in an entirely other direction.
