Ok. I have started to experiment with a (for me) new technique when dithering and coloring. I can't really explain it so i give you picture to study:


I know this technique isn't very new but I would like some pro tips and such. Does the technique have a name? Is there anything I should think of when mixing colors (besides the obvious color theory that comes into play when mixing colors..)
So feel free to say just about anything that can help me improve. Anything goes.

I believe he's right. thought i'd read it more often than i have, apparently, as pixelation gives few hits for interlaced dithering (one of which containing what may have been a helpful post by peppermint pig, but the image is now gone).

I can't really be of much help either. I'm sure someone can though (either at here or pixelation)

Yes, now that you mention it i see some resemblance to interlace dithering.

ThereIsNoCure: Thanks for the tip but I don't feel like registering to yet another internet forum. I allready have dozens forums that I try to keep track of. :)

Elk: For now I'm just fooling around and don't have a general plan for the picture so I just add details pretty random just to see how it looks, to get the feeling of the technique. But then, I have never been the organized type. My pictures tend to grow with a life of their own as I add details, change details, do and redo, delete and start over ad nauseum. :)

Thanks for the comments!

Well, My workflow is pretty different. For that kind of workflow i first of all have to have a general plan, wich i often don't. Just m way of making things.
If i work too long on a part i get very bored and usually scrap the whole thing so it's pretty much a way of actually getting the picture done.
