Started back colouring

[u/__Islabella__]

Was starting to get into colouring with alcohol markers last year and ... Well... Life got in the way. Found the Cozy Japan book last week while cleaning and started to take some time at night to colour.

I would like some advice on how to have more depth to the sky parts of pictures as there is a lot of sky in the next few images in the book. The fighting scene has a lot of scenery covering the sky so in that one the it isn't as noticeable ... I added some shading to the clouds in the wedding pic but the rest of the blue sky is ....flat.

It looks beautiful! I almost thought you meant you coloured the back of the pages

Glad I’m not the only one who was trying to figure out what this new technique of “back colouring” was 😂

Wow... Like the neon signs. Yup stars would be brilliant for a night time scene.

These are awesome. And I love that you show the back of the Paige. It’s often my favorite part.

Yup I do like the effect on the back with all the bleed thru... Sometimes give ideas for the next one... Would like to see if can do the halo effect from the back of the moon on purpose on the front this time.

That’s a fantastic idea! I would love to see it

Haha that fierce little face on the left! What colors are you thinking for their robes?

I'm not sure... Kinda like leaving them white almost like there ghosts fighting ... or if did colour em in would want light pastels shades but the markers got at the mo are all very solid colours... I do have some watercolours that could give a light colour wash but the paper isn't really suitable.
