I needed some practice in GIMP on coloring images, so I took Spirit-of-Twilight's Mira sketch from DeviantArt and colored it. I hope you like it.  I'm pretty sure I messed up on the shading though, but I need to practice some more, since this is pretty much the first thing I've ever colored in GIMP. Once again, I didn't draw this, Spirit-of-Twilight did. I hope you don't mind that I colored this without your permission.  |

it looks fine  . Although it seems to have a little bit of a problem with the white matte, are you setting the layer to multiply?, that's usually the best way to go. |

No, I'm not sure how to work the layers. I have to play around with the program more. I just got it a few days ago.

Okay, that makes sense. I'll have to try that. Thanks! |

I'm playing with it right now, actually and thanks to RedRage I figured out how to make it look a whole lot better. When I am done, I will put up the new and improved version. EDIT: Fixed it. I think this picture looks a whole lot better. I added more white to Mira's eyes to give them more of a glow, which makes her look prettier. I didn't go so crazy with the shading this time; I only shaded a little bit of her face.  |

Yeah, I was glad that I figured out how to do it. No, I currently do not have a DA account. My friend keeps trying to convince me to get one, but I'm not sure. I want to scan in some of my drawings, but I stink at trying to do lineart. |

Well, it's up to you if you join or not, but I think you should! ^^ And lineart can be hard at first but I know you'll get the hang of it with a little practice, and DA is perfect to help encourage you!

Hmm... you guys almost have me convinced. Maybe I'll get an account in the near future, if I have time.
