Step by Step

So I decided to show a step by step for what I actually do.

First I get the original black & white artwork. The art here is by the brilliant J.H.Williams, from Batwoman # 12, published by DC comics.

Then I put in the basic flat colors. Every little piece that will be colored independent of each other must be separated. My boss, Dave Stewart prefers that I use colors that are not related to what he will end up using because that makes it easier for him. Thus the blue skin tone.

Finally there is the finished piece with full colors by Dave. You will see that it is completely different from the basic colors that I put in. Also the colors are painted and modeled and look really beautiful.
