Lovely picture. Christine looks a lot like the movie Christine. I like how you did it on a stained color piece of paper. It wouldnt have looked appropriate on white. It really all keeps a very warm, very romatic feel to it.
I adore how you do hair too. Did you use the airbrush in Photoshop? Is that why your original lineart shows through?

I actually did draw it on white paper. All of the coloring was added in Photoshop. What I did was I did the coloring on lower layers and set the top layer with my lineart to multiply - voila! The colors show through the lineart. That's the (very) basic method that I use for coloring most of my pieces where I want the lineart to show.

Beautiful and very classic-looking.

Rules are like paperclips: meant to keep things together, fun to bend, and easily twisted out of shape.
There is no problem the human mind cannot solve or create.
Step One is learning the ropes. Step Two is chewing through them.

Thanks! I was trying to go for a vintage type feel with the colors. Good to know you got that "classic" vibe from it.

Set the top layer to multiply...?

I know Photoshop fairly well, but I've never done that before. How do you do that? Because I pull my line art off the page (which looks horrible most of the time) by changing my contrast and selecting the line art and deleting the white around it.

WELL! I must say, it looks very good regardless that all the coloring was done on Photoshop. I still like it on the parchment color background, though I havent seen the white version, so I guess I'm being biast.

Erm, I'm terrible at technical descriptions, but let's see how I do with this...

You know how you can chage the layer's properties? Well, the part that lets you set it to various types - says things like multiply, screen, overlay, soft light, hard light, color dodge, color burn, darken, lighten, difference, exclusion, etc. - is where I selected the multiply option from. I don't know if that will help at all or not.
