Hello. I haven't posted in this guild in a while (I've lost my other post thread ._. )...that's because I haven't been drawing. >.< I haven't had much inspiration, but I finally decided, if I wanted to get better at drawing, I would just have to force myself. And so, I wanted to give myself a try at coloring. Of course, I'm not a techy person, so drawing and coloring on the computer is not my thing (though I want to get better at it). So, I colored using the basic of all coloring materials...color pencils. Now, this is my first time coloring, so it's not the best. And...it's been a while since I've drawn, so my drawings are bit...off, haha. Anyways, I would love critiques. I really would like to learn how to color.

If you're wondering why is a bit gray-ish, I drew this and colored it in my sketchbook. And...I partially blame my scanner, lol.
There's a few marks on her face and I know...I sort of messed up. >.<
I didn't like the way how her mouth came out, but it's a little late to change that.

I will be adding more pictures...after I draw them.

I really like your style smile
The only thing I would have to suggest is to experiment with colour a bit, like using a different colour to add depth to your shading because if you just use one colour to shade it ends up looking a little bit flat~ heart

Very nice! I also agree with Bitterwing - try using different colors to add depth to any highlighting and shading. It's a good start though!

I also feel that her mouth is slightly misplaced, or maybe it's just not in perspective with the way her head is turned. You already mentioned you didn't like the way it turned out though.
