base colour (dark cyan) vary light white for the highlights, black for the shadows and then two colours for the coloured lights (often blue/red or some other contrasting combination) so usually about 5 colours :)

you do pretty well with it yourself (daily deviation anyone?) :P It's always galling to look at someone like that though, takes the wind out of your sails slightly

this was the first drawing i'd done in years :) I've gotten a few tips now to do with proportion and layout so hopefully that'll help. You should give it a try, I think you'd do well. I'll email you some tutorials i found sometime if you like.

i think i might get back into doing some freehand sketching in the near future too... either that or i will start scanning in my old stuff and retouching it and colouring it

the above sketch - in fact I had done, I'd moved the features around to the correct positions and everything in photoshop... but it felt like cheating so i didn't save it
edit: i'm not saying theres anything wrong with retouching though, just avoiding it on my own stuff for a bit

as long as i am the one who is doing all the work. I know that i can do it just as well in either traditional media or digital, i just prefer to do the retouching in digital because it's easier to undo errors if i screw up somewhere, whereas if i am working with pencil it tends to smudge if i erase or with ink it's damn near impossible to correct an error

the art teacher didn't think so...

how wonderful! I'm saving that person in favorites there.... I thought for a moment that they'd 'shopped it, and I about gagged on my grapefruit juice. Then I saw that they'd painted it, so I'm not as utterly intimidated now... only slightly so.
/haven't had much chance to browse deviantart yet. only posted one crap thing there so far, actually.

crap, that's disorienting!
/and is that the good captain archer 'neath the wheelbarrow, per chance? do you hate that show as much as I? makes me ill, it does. better than the previous 2 crap versions, but still crap.
