I did this because I wanted to try how real I can make this look, also, this was kind of a fake screenshot practice/study. And just for fun!
Before I joined deviantART I used to recolor a lot. (I never submitted them online though.) That’s how I got into digital art. And That was pretty much 10 years ago. Man… I recolored until i felt comfortable in my skills and moved onto bases and eventually started drawing from my head. And look where I am now! Haha…
So if you recolor, that’s totally ok, just don’t post them online. Use recoloring as practice, don’t actually think recoloring is drawing, because it’s not.
