a lot of comic art would benefit from sticking to the flatcolors
#too often is the coloring for comics rubbery and airbrushed-looking#the way a lot of comic artists ink already gives it dimension/depth without having to render#gradients can have a powerful effect but sometimes when i see artists share wips for their pages i honestly prefer the flatcolors#simple. classic. clean. accentuates the inks instead of muddying/distracting from them#no doubt there ARE times when the rendering has saved bad inks#but i feel like it just comes down to restraint#my hyprocritical ass typing all this up rn bc i’m stalling on my coloring stage lol#genuinely i think my art looks better in flats but that might just be my lack of coloring competence. idk restraint 💔#ik i gotta commit to it for this piece but the dilemma always passes my mind when i get to this part of the process#danbles#(this was prompted by seeing the flats vs final for the GL/GA special)#(lucas meyer your lines are sexy as hell WHY are we using gaussian blur to shade)
