FIRST THING: LINES ARE NOT MINE!!!! THIS LOVELY LINEWORK STRICTLY BELONGS TO ~Little-Red-Pumpkin (Little-Red-Pumpkin.deviantart.com)

Practicing my colouring and I think I did a really good job on it. BS-ed background (nothing new). And the screen layer is my new best friend -- it makes things so nice and shiny!

Again, if you missed the GIANT caps, this is obviously not my style (my style is not this awesome). Little-Red-Pumpkin is an awesome artist, and I luuuuuurv her stuff. So when she had this awesome lineart up and NOT coloured I was like, "it so pretty, it must be coloured!" So here's my attempt. Again not bad, if I do say so myself. I returned to celshading just 'cuz it's been so so so long since I've really truely used it.

So yeah, give me some feedback plz! I loooove feedback, tell me how to improve this!

Anyways, credit to be issued.

That's a really cute coloring job! I like how you paired the green hair with the pink top on this character. The screen layer IS fantastic for making shiny highlights. The brushes you used work really well on this one, especially for the simplistic background. The only brush I'm not sure about is the stars on the tights/leggings - they kind of stand out against the rest of the image, especially in full view.

Overall, good work! This looks like a really fun piece of line art - it makes me want to try my hand at coloring it in my style.

  Thanks, and here I thought the stars were too easily lost. Hmm. Interesting.
  
  But yes, if you really wanted to colour it youwould just have to Little-Red-pumpkin's dA account and find the lineart in her gallery to colour it. She said anyone who wanted to could colour it, so I think you should give it a shot.
