Artist's commentary
Touhou Youmu Konpaku Coloring Test
I drew Youmu for some coloring practice. I also wanted to try some style variation. I'm rather happy how this turned out, considering how deep art slump I've been in.
I've been avoiding coloring for long because I once failed so much that it caused an artist's block. I've been reluctant to make colored works after that. I entered a period of simplistic coloring in order to find better ways for coloring. After doing some quick coloring on random hentai practices, I think I found a "good" way of coloring. Funny thing is that it's actually exact the same way I've colored my early works with some improvements.
I kept the drawing relatively simplistic in terms of background, pose and number of colors for practicing purposes. I may be doing some more colored works in near future...
