Digital Comic Coloring: Step-by-Step Techniques in Photoshop

Digital Color for Illustration and Comics

“I hope you enjoyed the course and had fun coloring your final project. I realize that too many guidelines can be a bit overwhelming and it can be easy to stifle your creativity. If this happens, try to free yourself from the rules, step away from the computer and come back more relaxed. The important thing at this point is not that your work comes out perfect. Not even I can apply all the guidelines I gave in class. Coloring is a skill that, like all arts, requires practice to evolve, so persist and challenge yourself. Over time, your own style will develop organically and your speed per page will increase, but for now, have fun. When you feel that your abilities have evolved, try applying the other guidelines little by little. The comic book market offers many possibilities. You can work not only on your own publications, but also for publishers. If you are following this path, I would like to give you some advice: Practice and showcase your work: whether online, in person at conventions or through mentors, showcase your work to other professionals and listen to their feedback to improve your work; Being professional doesn’t mean being superhuman: time yourself per page, calculate how many pages you can comfortably produce per day, and only accept work that fits into your workflow. There’s no point in accepting work that will compromise your quality of life. I'm curious to see the results of the tasks, so don't forget to participate in the forums as I'll be there to help you with any questions. I think that’s all for now. This course was prepared with great care and dedication together with the Domestika team. I hope you enjoyed the course and thank you very much for watching it. See you next time.”
