Coloring!

Been testing out a new arena these past couple weeks.  I've been dabbling in coloring other artists' works.  I don't typically do that, but I decided I wanted to improve my coloring skill set and the best way is to first find something worth coloring.  

When coloring somebody else's work, I view it as kinda interpreting their intention.  With my own stuff, I have an idea already of what colors would look like.  With someone else's, I piece together the details and suggestions they worked into their lines and go from there.  

I've colorized a few pieces from the highly talented LCFreitas (you can view his work here).  The first collaboration was this piece featuring Supergirl.  I thought it came out well all things considered.  As with anything in life, there is a learning curve.  There is always room for improvement and I know I will improve as I color more and varied images.
