Coloring question - SKELTON S. SKELETON - 10-13-2009
When you color, do you lay down the base colors first and work from there, or try to do it all at once?
RE: Coloring question - Vipershark - 10-14-2009
I fill in areas with the middle shade first, then add highlights and shading to them.
RE: Coloring question - Maneko - 10-14-2009
Normally I color the base with the primary colors alone and then I add a second layer to put the shading there.

(I use ms paint)
The way I have been coloring land tiles is to lay down a pallet of potential colors. I work with these colors till I decide which color types to use. Finally, I add lighter and darker versions based on need.
For people I chose the colors as needed. When I choose the color, I do something similar to the land tiles.
