Colouring for the night, I thought Millie in this one was cute, sounds like something I would do :)

Still a few missed bits, but definitely improving. :)

I like the furry effect on millie's muzzle, but unfortunately, that's not how Ozy and Millie is colore. It's normally a smooth line.

Also, ozy's white chest fur doesn't go to his wais and stop, it sort of 'slopes" a little, let me find an example.

here's him sitting down.

second panel shows it the best here.

One more thing, their mouths are pinkish, not white. Code Cat and I both have some "color charts" for you to use. His is extensive and covers tons of the colors you would find in the strip. Mine's only basic, but it looks neater :P

I'm just trying to point out what CodeCat might have been talking about.

What you got right that I missed in my coloration of the comics is that frameless panels don't ahve background color.

Well actually, I do fuzz out the edges of their colour/white fur a bit. Not too much though, but enough for it to be noticeable.

I was trying something different, seeing how it looked. I think I'll go back to a smooth line, easer to do anyway :)

Ahhh, I thought mine looked odd. I was basing it off a strip in HR, I'll referance these in the future.

I made up a series of colour swatches, one for each character. That way I can just switch depending on who I'm colouring at the moment. I based them on CodeCat's colour chart and am adding to them as I go.

I was going to colour those, but I noticed most weren't coloured on HR. Although I do like how yours looked.

when in doubt, reference the official stuff where possible.

Good advice, I'll do that in the future.
