Don't Blame Me, I'm Color Blind!

Never done much coloring on my illustrations, 'cause, well, I'm color blind and never feel like I know what I'm looking at when I'm done. "Why is that person's face green?" I'd regularly be asked in Graphic Design classes.

"Because it's not. Not to me at least," would be my reply as I ran off crying.

But I figured I'd take a stab at playing with Illustrator's coloring capabilities on a couple of my recent superhero doodles.

Golden Age Pals (more experiments in inking)

Still in love with my newish Faber-castell pen set. And still very much learning all they're capable of.

While testing those limits, I figured my buds Dr. Kamikaze and Farewell Scalar's d.auge deserved to get the golden age superhero treatment. So here they are as Plastic Man and Superman (in Clark Kent guise) along with me decked out in Jack Knight Starman attire.
