Hi everyone,
I am currently working on my first 4 issue mini-series. I hired a very talented artist to pencil and ink the pages and while he is working on that I decided to try my hand at coloring.
After watching a youtube tutorial on how to do this I grabbed a couple of inked panels from the internet and imported them into Photoshop CS2.
I am very open to constructive criticism. I know it's not something that is learned overnight and I would like to get better at this.
Cover to Superman 673. I decided not to look at the finished cover and just go in coloring how I wanted to. I also avoided any 'shine' with the burn tool and thought of this as a non-glossy page. This was my first attempt at coloring. I spent about 90 minutes on this.

Batman and Superman. Again, I decided not to look at the finished cover and just go in coloring how I wanted to. This was the first time I tried to add 'shine' to some of the elements. I probably should have spent more time on it, but I decided to move on to another one. I spent about 60 minutes on this.

I started working on my third effort this morning and will post it when I am done. I am hoping to get better at this as the months proceed forward.
Thanks for your time.
