So, some days ago I was checking some stuff on Street Fighter and stumbed into a website dedicated to one of the game’s characters, Cammy White. I went to look to the official art and then to the sketches, and saw a really cool one:

But, of course, it isn’t colored, and I was looking for colored images. So, what did I think of?
Of trying to color it myself.
Well, I’d tried to color stuff before, but it always looked awful. Yet, I had some free time and wanted to give it a try – if it worked, then I could color my own sketches and create artwork for comics and stories.
So, I picked Photoshop, and got an image of Cammy from the site to get the right colors (see it here). It took me fourty-five minutes, but I managed to make this:

I don’t mean to brag, but I think it looks awesome. I used no tutorial whatsoever, I just experimented and quickly found a way of making it look good. It looks professional, which is fantastic. Here’s a comparision of the image before and after coloring.
A special thanks, and of course credits, to CammyFan.com for making me discover that I can color stuff on Photoshop.
Please, do leave comments on how it looks!
EDIT: I just made another one. It’s far from perfect, but if I try to make it perfect I’ll eventually get too bored and leave it unfinished. Here’s the comparision, and here are the colors.
