My digital colors suck...

Well, the project I'm currently working on is calling for me to do some coloring. Problem is, I feel like my coloring skills suck and this scares the heck out of me. I want to do a good job as this is a stellar project and should be seen by some mighty influential people.

So I went to Barnes and Noble today and picked up this book:

It's awesome. Very well written and helpful. Not overly technical. I haven't jumped into the lettering section yet but give me time.

I can see what I was doing wrong in some of my earlier attempts. The following drawing is oversaturated, overworked, Overrendered and there are anti alias problems to boot. ( I know what an anti alias problem is now. I could see the problem but didn't know what to call it.)

Let's see how things improve the coming year.
