Grayscale to color

[Flo]

Hey guys,

I have a character going on and I am fairly happy with the values now. Now I want to take the picture to colors but I havent found a good way in the internet to do it.

Either I have to do a lot of painting after adding color (which is what happend on the colored WIP) and then what is the point of doing values first?

Or I start in color, but how can it be so difficult to go from greyscale to color? Can anybody help me?

Also please comment on edges, anatomy and perspective (and design)... what the heck, please say what you think about it. :)

Cant wait for your answers.

P.s. I watched some tutorials already. One by Dave, one by Gimaldinov and others. One that I haven't seen is the one on Ctrl Paint. Does anyone knows it and has an opinion about it?

Thanks for any help.

Cheers,
Flo
