I’m off to a good start this week, with 1 and a half pages colored in a day.
I’ve been capturing video and audio commentary, as I work on this new page, showing how I go about coloring with Photoshop. As soon as I’ve completed the process and had time to edit out the boring moments, I’ll post the mini-tutorial here!
I’ve finished an additional page (page 3).
I took the time to comment and record my work as I was coloring this page, and now have plenty of material to create my very first tutorial.
Finishing the comic takes precedence, but I’ll try and find some time next week to edit the video into a less boring, to the point presentation, chalk-full of tips!
Also, I’ll be posting the finished page shortly as its the last page I can share without spoiling the story!
Here is the latest page I’ve finished coloring!
Along with it, here’s the original scanned line work.
Stay tuned for a video tutorial that will show you how I work in Photoshop to get from the line art version to the colored page!
Feedback appreciated as always!
Just finished coloring page 18! I’m making good progress this week.
To complete the comic I now only need to:
-Color page 19 & 22
-Ink and color page 20
-Pencil, ink & color page 21
-Do the lettering
-Design a cover & Logo
At this point, I believe I can pull everything off next week except the Logo and cover.
Stay tuned!
As of now, my list of things to do to complete issue 1 are as follow:
-Color page 19 & 22
-Ink and color page 20
-Pencil, ink & color page 21-Do the lettering (by the end of today!)
-Design a cover & Logo
It’s incredible to finally see the end of this first issue coming, its been a long time in the making, and feels really great to be completing something!
I’ve finished putting together all the colored artwork and lettering in InDesign! So everything is done!
Well, everything except page 20-21; I was starting to work on those, but I sat down and read the whole first issue that I had just printed, and it came to me… those two pages should actually be a huge 2 page spread!
So I’m currently working on a “montage” type layout that will hit the peak in the story before we wrap up this first of six issues.
With a bit of luck, I’ll still be done by Monday, leaving only a cover and logo to be designed!
