Favourites

What colorist's have done with flats provided here.

Random from Favourites

An assortment of lines that group members have sugguested for flatting.
You can read all the tutorials you like, but the best way of learning to flat is if you can get someone to teach you personally. Obviously this isn't an advantage everyone can have, but thanks to one of our members, you can now take advantage of the next best thing - watching an experienced flatter at work.

FFC contributor :icontrinitymathews: will be livestreaming tonight at 7pm CST (CST = GMT-5) - head along if you can and see what you can pick up.

Rules and Other important stuff

Pretty Simple.

1: Be kind, unless asked to be otherwise.

2: Give credit where credit is due. if someone drew it, inked it modeled for it or what not. you have to give credit to them for their work. if you color flats you get from here, it is only curtious that you mention them and the group in the artist's comments.

3:This is a 'FLATS ONLY' group, submitted as either a PSD and/or separate png/tiffs in a zip that can be linked up without much hassle. Full colors will NOT be accepted in the main gallery. but can be added to the groups favorites.

4: We do not take flats with anti-aliasing. we appreciate your enthusiasm to share but they are more or less useless to anyone.

5: not really a rule, but a bit of a request. link back to us if you use the flats! we house the flats used by the members in the favorites folder.

6: which brings me onto another rule. dont cram the favorites folder with pictures that deviate from the groups field. there is a section for colored works, and line art to be flatted. I appreciate a good artistic nude but keep your photography, 3d models, design etc out thanks all the same. there are far better places to put it here on DA

If you're planning on contributing some flats exclusive to the group, contact us and we will make you a contributor.

Line-art Directory

there are a few groups out there that do the hard-work of searching for line-art for you.

:iconcomicteamup: which is run by :iconjotazombie:

for comic lineart this is the best place to go because it caters exclusively to the comic medium and they carry 90% highres stuff. its also a good place to make friends and collaborators.

:iconcolor-me-club:which is run by :iconvest:

#color-me-club is a great place to find more unusual but still fun lineart to color. they run some pretty cool contests and its a really cool group run by friendly people.

aswell as that there is *SeanE's website

To add to this, All of these artists provide high resolution downloads of their work.

What differentiates the lesser quality flats from the regular flats folder? Just so I know where to submit :-)
Reply
:iconartmunki:
The distinction is fairly arbitrary to be honest - generally speaking, it's a question of the detail present in the flats and the overall quality and size of the lines. The Superman flats you submitted recently were appropriate for the lesser-quality folder, but that's almost entirely due to the quality of the lines you used. I'll be bumping your Halo submission up to the regular member's gallery. Try to find better-quality lines to flat - not only does it show off your work better, but colourists are far more lilkely to want to colour nice lines too.

I see! That makes sense. Thanks for clarifying and taking the time to sort my submissions!

Mainly lineart dimensions size and Flat detail. most of those pieces are small or have been flatted very simply.

Hi everyone. I started out working as flatter as of January 2013.

Unfortunately I have no samples to share as of yet... just building up my portfolio... once I have some I love to leave the comment on your webpage...

To be able to do that... I have a special deal... The first page I flat for a colorist is FOR FREE! :)

Hope to find some great colorist to be able to work for.

I promote whatever I can work on over my webpage ([link]) , my eshop and my newsletter...

Interested in giving it a try?

Then contact me at:

chiskaart@gmail.com

Thanks!

I can't believe I'm going to do this. I'm in need/want of someone who will willing to flat a page a week for me for free. I hate to ask, but I'm working on my own book and I don't have the time to flat after I write, draw and ink the page.

If you're willing to help me I would appreciate it.

To see what you would be helping me with please go here: [link]

Send me a note if you can help me out. That's it. I don't have a carrot to dangle in front of you. I'm just asking for help.

Thanks.
