Hi guys,
Seeing all the great coloring work you guys turn out has really got me inspired to try my hand as well.Patrick has given me alot of great tips n tricks witch have helped greatly.
This first "attempt" I kind of messed up by saving the PSD out as a JPEG accidentally before I could finish it. (Live n learn) I guess.

Any tips or criticism would be taken on board and I'm keen to try some other Artists and character Click for full size

Gar should be green.

[Edited to add]

You did a really nice job on the color, creating a lot of nice depth. Byrne's work always improves with color. However, the very first thing I noticed is that the bird (a k a Beast Boy / Changeling) should be green.

Also, I like gray for the black hair highlights instead of blue (personal preference). And I find Robin's green to be a tad washed out to my taste.

Thanks for the comments James.
Like I said in the OP couldn't finish it because I messed up the PSD file.
I also noticed the green was washed out as a result of the upload compression.The original JPEG looks ok though.
Thats something I'll have to be aware of in the future.

Here's one of my very first colors.Very basic.
I will continue with single characters for awhile but they should have more depth and lighting as I become more adept at using Photoshop.
I'm still a noob.
