Colorless version: >>2404318
Added color to these two dorks to give those snazzy flight suits the proper flare. I unfortunately lack a pale enough blue for Soarin’s coat, so I settled with simply leaving him white. I think it’s a close enough approximation and if not, one can chalk his current ghostly complexion up to a side effect of his present company. Save for the blush; that was a nice little touch I felt like adding.
Good news, though: I might be getting an art tablet soon so I can take my first steps into digital art. Pretty frickin’ excited to toy with that and see what I can do, though I’m sure it’ll take some getting used to jumping from pencil and paper. Many of the tools that become available with digital art sound fantastic to me, including ones that might actually help with duo pics like this. Which is especially enticing since it’s rapidly becoming what I enjoy to draw most.
As always, thanks for checking it out and feedback is welcome!

Thanks and you as well.
Yours sounds very similar to my situation at the moment. Most of what I’ve learned so far is self-taught except for minimal perspective and shading instruction I received in an engineering design class. It’s inspiring to hear someone who has been in the same boat and that it’s proven worthwhile to you. I appreciate the kind words and hope you continue in a positive direction with your art as well.
I started out with only mere sketches as a kid, did a lot of comics back in my school days, did some advanced sketches afterwards, then finally decided that I wanted to branch out on something different and was greatly inspired by the many artist out there who have the most creative ways for using digital artwork and art content. I have a built in drawpad on a tablet I’m using and it works great. There’s so many digital art apps and resources to use as well. Half of my methods were self taught and the rest was done at a small college I went to, but it was to mainly learn aboit perspective, composition, shading, character angles, etc. My work isn’t the greatest, but I still add an appeal to it for everyone to see. I like drawing characters wearing clothing for example that’s anime-inspired instead of the normal everyday clothes to add unique creativity. I still have some improving to do in a few areas, but that’s part of artistry. Whichever direction you take in doing digital art I really hope you have fun with it.

Yeah, totally! Besides what you can use for scaling and such, I’m actually really eager to experiment with color and lighting. I think I’m pretty weak at coloring with pencils; part of the reason I end up posting both colored and colorless versions of my sketches, or just leave them colorless, is because the former can end up looking less clean, sometimes blurry, and just not as nice to look at as the latter. Maybe part of the blame could be placed on my scanner, but it’s at least mostly my inexperience. As willing as I am to figure out how to improve at that, it’d be nice to be able to give good color to lineart right now and digital offers some great tools that I don’t have access to with traditional.
