How to color a cartoon model

gilles

In your case it would be easier to re draw the contour of faces you want to paint , hope you get some time.

No. Just create hard lines for the borders between colors. Those lines will limit the area of the color. Why don't you try it and see how you get on?

Do you mean I have to separate the face object by making one piece for head and another for face?

BTW how can I make a contour line over the face in this organic shape?

Actually not so much but thank you.

I'm assuming you used Artisan to make your model, if so, it has a paint brush tool that allows you to freehand paint .

As Box said, if you did model it in SU I assume you used Artisan, then use the brush tool for painting, increase and decrease brush size with arrow keys as needed.

I did a Mickey a while back and used this process too.

Thank guy for the reply. BTW I only use basic SU tool and SDS only...not artisan so that I don't have the genius paint tool

Re. SOLO yeah I saw your works and that inspires me so much that I create this... I learn your tricks of using proxy but unfortunately there's limitation on painting organic surface.
