Someone asked me a while ago to do this, and now I finally have. 🙂 I’ve written a quick little tutorial for my website on how I colour my vector art… Here’s the link if you’re interested: [http://www.nowingsnohalo.co.uk/gallery/tute\_cellshading.htm](http://www.nowingsnohalo.co.uk/gallery/tute_cellshading.htm) Note the shameless self promotion there by me. 🙂 I’ll be writing some more, hopefully, on how to actually draw the anime in the first place… ---

Do something on head shapes and stuff… and proportions… that seems to get people a lot ---

my problem with anime is getting the head right 🙂 somehow it always ends up looking goofy :). got only one pic that worked out but i never worked it out as i always seem to mess up the inkting as well :). Coloring i can do i did the coloring of some guys pics on another forum once which looked ok imo :sure: but since i rarely do line art there is no coloring for me to do ;). Like the tut kit, i used a totally different approach last time i colored a piece of line art so it’s nice to see the way other ppl work. ---
