Description

Here's a before-and-after comparison of the detail to my book cover.

I drew the piece with PITT pens and COPIC markers on Strathmore Drawing paper, scanned it, and colorized it using Adobe Photoshop CS2.

A few people have asked me to show what changes from grayscale lineart to final color, and hopefully this shows what the process entails.

CS2? Wow.  The Adobe give away.  That's what I used for so long.  I didn't peg you as frugal or humble - or even human! lol.  So, I'm glad to know we have something in common that inspires me to keep pressing on.  My experiments with colorizing grayscale don't yield these results, but they're interesting and fun.  Fourteen years late I say "Thanks for sharing."
