I am pretty pleased with my first (real) coloring attempt. it was nice to do something a little different for a change. i will try to answer some of your guys questions. First off I used Photoshop 7.
I don't have a graphics pen or tablet or anything like that, just a mouse. The texture in the hair was not create by filters. No filters here just paint.
the cartoon look was by design. When i was doing it i was trying to go for a more of a animated movie look then a comic book look.
When i did my
Medusa picture, i created a custom brush to make hair. I used that brush again here but with the dodge, burn and smudge tools instead of as a paint brush. that is how i did the hair. i agree that the chest area is a little flat. to tell you the truth it never even occured to me to do that. I guess i just overlooked it. (newbee colorist)

I actually just stole the background from a wallpaper of Dawn that Linsner did.
