Colouring Classes! Help some friends out...

Thu Jul 2, 2009, 6:08 AM
Please remember that Carlos was kind enough to loan us this lineart for the purpose of the classes/tutorial, so please don't distribute it and don't forget to credit him for the linework

I've decided to really break everything down to the most basic level, so that even someone who's never colored can have a go. I'll be breaking it down as follows: (more or less)

EDIT:
1. Preparing Lineart and Flats [link]

- Tools used
- Process

2. Painting or creating the background. [link]
- Tools used
- Process
- Special Effects

3. Selecting colors and how the background/lighting effects the characters.(divided in 2 parts - part 1 coming soon)
- Tools used
- Process

4. Finishing off the artwork
- Tools used
- Process
- Special effects
- Color hold

In all sections I'll be showing the tools and explaning a little about how we can use them in comic coloring or illustration. I'll also be explaining some keyboard shortcuts I use.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me :D

UPDATE: This has nothing to do with the classes, but I thought I should let everyone know that :iconmechangel2002: has just made available a book showcasing hers and :iconsketchartist76:'s art as well as an auction of her inks to raise money.

So hop on over to the following link and help out :D

Sorry, to better answer your question, at the moment I'm just coloring for fun, not chasing down any projects. I decided to take a sort of break and worry too much ;)

You hear that a lot in this industry
Nah, I also stopped digging. Seriously, there are a lot of opportunities for hard working individuals. I just can't dedicate all my time to it at the moment. I need my day job to pay the bills :)
