Trying out colour in Photoshop using a sketch of Chloe Noonan.
Drawn from memory while noodling at MCM.
It would be interesting to see how Chloe would manage monster hunting in the Necessary Monster universe.

This is a page from a sketchbook I’m compiling for the summer con season. It will be filled with colour two page spreads. But i’m quite nervous about a non – narrative so have been writing speech balloons over some images along with random text. Although the end result is unclear at the moment, these should look great at the A4 size publication format.
This is the first work posted in 2012. I have been adding colour to sketchbook work, so its a bit free form at the moment. the intention is to develop more colour work with a view to making colour comics. Sort of catching up with the 21st century.
I draw with a dead line in my sketchbooks, then add colour in Photoshop. Fairly standard so far.

I am in the middle of making my next mini comic, Eight Tablet Dream. I love the process of making these comics and have made over 30 of them over the past ten years. But it can be really frustrating seeing all the gorgeous colour artwork posted on a daily basis, then looking at my grey lumpen efforts. Earlier this year watercolors were the way forward, a blaze of colour, but that faded away.
So what i’ve posted is a traced ( From Photo source), image that i started to colour last night. When i’m trying new approaches, styles, methodology i don’t really care about how the source material arrives. So traced and then interpreted then coloured.
