I like the seated woman especially. Use of contrast against a varied background makes for a richer composition. Did you add further pencil shading to the face when you were coloring it?
Yeah, there’s more variation of line. I like how the colors turned out in the one with the woman with the blue shirt.
I didn’t add any more pencils from the previous post. The way I color is that I lay down flat colors first. Then I paint opaque colors (using layers with multiply and the opacity turned down) over the flat colors with a speckled brush. The speckled brush gives it a rough look, almost like colored pencil. I kept flat colors for the backgrounds.

Oh yes, you’ve told me that before. You fool me every time. The speckling does look like colored pencils or watercolor on an interesting paper.
