Just for kicks

A good friend of mine is learning photoshop and began color experiments with a sketchbook doodle he made of Thor, the oldschool musclebound Marvel superhero/god. Omar is the doodler, and Chris worked the inks. Here’s their creation.

To help him get started I wrote a short tutorial on the very basics in coloring with Photoshop. If you’re absolutely new to PS, the tutorial just might be useful for you, too. You can see it here.

Well, I won’t be showing Omar’s coloring progress here, but I can show what the results of about two hours of notdoingworkthatI’msupposedtobedoing looks like. Here’s my take on colors for this image. I don’t keep up with comics much so this was like revisiting the days of longlongtimeago.
