I'm happy with my line-work and drafting abilities, I'm comfortable with value and tone. Unfortunately my color is shaky at best and therefore intimidating to me.
In order to remedy this I've been going through a very strict regime of 6 to 9 hour workdays and at least one finished piece a day. Most of it's crap but occasionally something fun happens. Just recently I fell back into the familiar and somewhat leisurely waters of comics.
After a few days I strung together a few pages and came up with a decent way to work with color.
The style is an odd cross between Jean Giraud and Dr. Suess, but fun to work with. Each one was done freehand without any prior sketching or a perspective grid officially making them automatic drawings by technicality.
I'll probably go back to doing paintings soon enough, but not before I put text in and find some place to stop with this thing.
