I'd like to start bringing color in to these ink drawings I did previously. Would anyone be willing to give advice on how to begin? I'll be using Procreate. It's for a Children's book I'm writing, so I'd like the colors to be happy and accessible, plus, keep the detail in the linework. Thank you for even looking, btw! JSRN

The serial artists I've followed through life have all had their days of 'misses' where it comes to likenesses of a character over and over and over.....the factor I recall making them most comfortable was to get a model reference ingrained in their heads that, thought it may not have been absolutely spot on perfect with what they were drawing, it did allow them some "anchor points" to land on. The nose was just a "check mark", and the eyes a horizonal line with two black diagonals...etc. That and, well, lots of sketchbook work. Good luck!
