Adding color to sketches
I have been working on my drawing and painting recently, and while I have my drawing where I want it for the moment (I suck, but everyone has to start somewhere), whenver I try to add color to my sketches, they never seem to turn out good.
Any tips on coloring? I know that shading and value is very important, but does anybody have any basic tips on it?

Do you have anything to share that would give us a visual starting point? I'm not the greatest colorist but (as you mentioned) values are SUPER important. May be a good idea to get comfortable with just grey tones. You will be able to work with light sources easier with just grey tones (IMO). Plus if you're doing digital work you can just use the grey base as your value and then work on your colors on top. Is there a specific goal you are working towards with your coloring? Concept Art, Comic Book Art, Painted Landscapes, Media? Knowing the goal may help ease into the proper training.
