My brother asked me to color a couple of his sketches, it turned out half-decent, so I figured I'd post it. Had to remove a lot of the paper marks, and discoloration from the scan of the drawing, but all in all...not too bad.
It looks good for what it is. That's a compliment because I am a harsh critic and a major fan of realism, which this so obviously is not. ;) I never gave the white spots a second thought, personally I think the brushed look makes the line-art and color blend together, otherwise, it starts looking like you are mixing your mediums. Good call.
I should have put that in the description. That is the style I was going for. Tried to give that brush painted look, with the highlight strokes on the cape, and other areas. I like the way it felt, so I left it. I also gave the "S" shield, a raised look so it didn't look so flat.
