Coloring Process: Wonder Woman

Hi people! Other day I made a post showing you my drawing process of Wonder Woman and it seems that everybody liked it :D So today I'm going to post the colorization process of this same drawing. I separated everything in eight simple steps, and as you will see I followed a coloring style more similar to the one used on comics and general... And here we go:

Step 1:

This is the original black and white drawing

Step 2

Now I add the solid colors to the drawing, trying to leave it tones similar.

Step 3:

At this point I add dark gradients to the most part of the drawing, as you can see it is a more diffuse kind of shadow.

Step 4:

Now I do the same but with lighter gradients.

Step 5:

Here I add more dark shading, but this time with more linear shadows, like some kind of illumination effect.

Step 6:

Same thing as before, more regular shadows, less diffuse, but with lighter shades.

Step 7:

At this point I colored part of the lines with colors next to the color of the fill. Before it, all the lines of the drawing were black, now if you take a look, some are with colors, this helps to make the drawing smoother.

Step 8:

And lastly I add a warm illumination to the whole design, as well as placing small points of brightness / reflection on the metals.

And that's it, I hope it helped :)
