Where's Duncan Green?

For Duncan, I'd probably use Grass Green for the body, mint cream fro the tummy.

I would say Grass Green and True Green...

Apple Green and Mint Cream, FTW!

Hmm... I wonder if Duncan's colors are food related because he's tubby, or if he's tubby because his colors are food related?

Actually, I'd use Mint Creme for the belly and then use a darker green for shading over that color. You don't really want to use your target color as the initial one to start with. Always start light and go darker. Your target should be the middle set of shades you're using. I use three shades for any color of a character. Light, medium, and dark. Highlights, midtones, shadows.

Yes, I use a 3-color system too... I'd say Mint Cream, True Green, and Parrot Green for the belly, and Apple Green, Grass Green, and Dark Green for the rest of him...

Wow, that will be helpful for artists!

Cool notion, but just keep in mind how drastically different monitor gamuts and paper gamuts can be. What you see is most definitely not guaranteed to be what you get, at least until you scan it in.

Shaterri's right. This isn't meant for you to print out yourself and use as a guide. I can color balance my monitors to make it look right, but it's really just a hand held guide for *ME* to use. You should make your own with your own art supplies so you have a proper guide.

What sort of Markers are these...? The colors I'm most familiar with are Prismacolor pencils...

These are Prismacolor markers which match their pencils. *Technically* since they are Pantone compatible, they should be the same across all manufacturer lines, but that rarely is the case when you actually start using them. It's better to stick to one manufacturer throughout the drawing to be sure of predictable results.

And when you have unpredictable results, claim you intended to do that originally and take credit for it. :)

Great thing to have.

Apple Green, Grass Green, favs! Hmm... maybe I should show a color rack of how commerical art of vinyl is.

Thief! Thief! You steals my idea!

^^ Tee hee. Glad you liked the idea. Spread the word around!

(You have 2 Olive Greens. I lawled.)

Yep, two olive greens. I failed to notice the duplicate until after I had laid the color down and then.. um... yeah, I meant to do that. That's it, just to remind me of what color that is...because, you know, olive green is so hard to remember.
