Progressions (image heavy)
okay, it's been a while since i promised this, but he's a short overview of how i color my comics.

after sketching, inking, and scanning, i clean up the lines, and make them ready to color, (one panel missing, i hadta redraw it)


next i put the flat colors, this is really the most tedious part of the whole thing.


i put the shading down 30% multiply, dark blue.


as the final step i add various lighting effects, and a gradient overlay to set the lighting tone.

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

factor into this, that i'm completely self taught, no art classes whatsoever, i only wish there was something like that major remotely close to me.

They have online courses nowadays, you know. But considering how far you've gone...I highly doubt you'd need em :p

In any case, this is rather interesting, to say the least, not to mention impressive. :)

Dreamed of much, accomplished little. :(
