I wasn't really sure which direction I wanted to go with in terms of colouring. There were many different styles, softwares and brushes that I can use. The one on the left is a Kyle Webster gouache brush, and I do like the effect of this one however I feel like the character doesn't stand out enough. The middle was done using a software called Paint Tool Sai, where it is easy to change the colour of the linework to match the image. Although I like this style too, I just think it wasnt working for the aesthetic that I wanted to achieve. Therefore the one I think i'm going to go with is the one on the right, which is bold black lines and simple colour. I don't want to overcomplicate them too much because I want the characters to speak for themselves. They are also going to be in situations where there is a lot going on around them with lots of colour and objects, so I don't want to overcomplicate this process either.
I think it was good for me to test out these different ways of colouring, because it has helped me to see my characters in different ways. I think for the cartoon style I am trying to achieve, the one on the right is the best fit.
