C Gabbiar, it's very to easy to colour like this. You have to take some very good coloured pencils ( Faber Castell) and use your specific technique. That's all. I don't like colouring with the computer. I used to colour the background with Picture Publisher. That's over now. I only draw and colour by hand. Other stuff isn't art for me. That's my feeling.
Well for the part of the waist. I love to draw very thin creatures. That's the reason why I like Mudokons.
My creatures must be very thin, but the arms and legs of that "Fishcreature" have to be muscular.
This is a sad picture. So when you knee down and you cry, your breathing is a little bit blocked. You raise your thorax and move in your belly. Exept for that, I can show you a sketch of this creature, swimming.
But thank you for the compliments
BTW: (my little secret, but other artists should know that too) - you can do light effects without the computer...it's called eraser.
