Rocky Road; portrait colorist, not an illustrator
@rockyroad.bsky.social
Practicing colors and light with previously drawn illustrations.
Services available for commissions.
Illustration requires a library of anatomical proportions, scaling to perspective. I can spot errors, but needing to make 1,000 strokes to choose one is an inefficient path.

So I skip it, ask permission, and loudly credit the illustrators.

For me, light is more intuitive to study and imitate.

I color portraits for leisure, practice, or for clients,

but I do not draw them.

I am interested in coloring comics too, so I would be open to hearing pitches.
