colour sketches

lately , i haven't had time to colour my Awesome Marcus Ninja strips because it takes me too long to colour. i'm not a colourist, and i don't know how to colour faster than i can draw. sometimes, to get it exactly how i want it to look, it will take me longer to colour than to draw.
any way, i took 2 old sketches and tried a new way to colour, hoping it looks good enough to use, but it is a quicker method. i'm not particularly happy with how these turned out but it was an exercise that i learned a little from. i mean, they look alright. i could've cleaned 'em up a bit but that would've taken more time.
ttyl,
