Coloured Manga - Souma

I did NOT draw this. This was drawn by the legendary CLAMP. I only coloured it in. I do not claim to have created this piece of artwork.

From left to right: Orignal manga scan. Final coloured result. Added textures.

I really wanted to colour in some RG Veda manga. But couldn't really decide... so I was browsing [link] (where I got the image, though I have the artbook) and saw Souma. Opened PhotoShop CS2 and delved in. It was my very first attempt at shading (which I hate OH SO MUCH!). I was going to get out my tablet, but honestly couldn't be bothered.

It took approximately 4 & 1/2 hours to complete. I know it isn't the greatest coloured manga out there, but I am still new and wasn't counting on doing this to perfection.

Now I'm knackered -_-;
