Colored lines usually look stilted or outrageous, but the careful thought to coloring here pays off big time, making the whole image that much more enjoyable. I have to say, I really like the way that even on your shakiest anatomy days, your poses look fluid, natural and nice. I don't know how you get away with it, but it's a real rarity in a world full of stiffness.

Thanks! I just try to color my lines using a color that matches the burn curve. It tends to help them blend, but stand out. It's something I learned when I used to do graphic design and photo repair work back in high school. A trick to let the lines act as your shading, or help color the shading done with a pencil after a scan.
Also, I look at a looooot of photos. lol
I keep a massive image library that I constantly leaf through when I'm bored and add to by surfing sites from all over the net and hosted in many different countries. The Japanese boards and forums have some of the coolest images, having shot angles and poses that you don't tend to see as much with western photographers and models. I love looking through vintage photos and pin-ups too. That's a theme that I'm planning on doing with some of my characters in the near future. Already started using Mara for just that purpose. Gonna be pulling some characters that I haven't drawn in years out of the dusty drawer they've been locked away in for the project. I just hope I can either get my computer to behave well enough for it, or get a new one soon. heh
