They Wasted a Perfectly Good Line Art: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

Some artists are great at drawing but not so expert at colouring; in Japan, this is largely due to manga being mostly in black and white. The most extreme cases make you facepalm and think "This gorgeous lineart deserves sooo much better!". This isn't a trope about bad artists -it's about the ones who ''can'' draw but can't colour properly, or at least whose linearts are much better than their colouring. Alternatively, the coloring work can be done by a separate person, who is either totally incompetent or has different ideas to the line artist. This often gives an "off balance" impression.
