Here’s another colored sketch from @faline-art! I saw this happy looking Sunset and wanted to see her in vivid color. I was thinking about doing their Pinkie next but everything changed when I saw this hit my dash.

Now I’ve always the same opinion as Dilarus in regards to sketches. That a piece of art doesn’t need color in order to consider it ‘finished’ or ‘done’. I believe there is plenty of personality that the artist expresses and leaves behind with ink and graphite.

Yet I cannot deny that there’s something about coloring a piece like this that brings more of that personality out. I don’t really believe I’m adding too much to the artwork. The process used is one I learned to quickly push out comics. It’s very simple and I’m sure I can teach someone to do it in an afternoon or two. And knowing the strength in @atowncalledbedlam‘s lines, I did what I could to always leave those lines intact. So I do believe I’m highlighting what’s already there when adding a splash or two of color to the mix. More to appreciate from the original artist.

Guess that’s the point of the jerks like me who work in the background half the time :P More about the process below the break.
