Time for another exercise, this time let´s practice our digital color in Photoshop over a profesional lineart made by SOSFactory. If you do a try, please email me a JPG of your final image, if you are interested I could post your image here and give you some tips to improve your coloring skills.
Here you can dowload the high res lineart in Photoshop format of the character:
In the next days I will offer the final PSD file layered for free download, so you can do some research to know how I did it or you can use it in your designs.
