# Welcome
My fozzy has a tiny head.

TJ: Zombie update;


I'm thinking I may just stay with black and white, as my colouring skills are that of a 4 year old that can stay within the lines (occasionally)

# surely colouring in via Photoshop is simple?

# yeah but there is just filling them in with the fill tool and proper colouring
see some of foof's work and you'll see what I mean. Also I think Black and white would cut down on printing costs.

# nice work :D
if you're worried about going over the lines, just use the magic wand to select the areas you want. do the colours on seperate layers, and stick your original work over the top as a multiply layer.

edit: Then draw shading as clipping mask layers on top of each coloured layer

# ooh interesting.
I tend to make my shading layer first as a complete grayscale ( sometimes bluescale if it suits the palette ) painted layer, then colour over than and add highlight and darks layers near the end

# yeah, did you see my post about your rhino one?`
i put the original on top of your version and it looked even better (in my opinion)

edit: I hate it when people have to state it's their opinion, so i took that bit out

# Oh yeah, I remember that.
The thing with that was I was learning proper cell shading for comic art work and when you get a sketch you have to ink it then render it so including the original was not acceptable for the style. Not that it's a problem to do though, just an explanation why it looked as it did.
I do have a tendency to not include any original artwork in finished pieces unless asked to do so. I re-ink everything to suit me.

# fair enoughs, makes sense.
I will try the greyscale first thing, It should make shading patterned material easier at least.

# send me whatever you have.
I'll just re-ink it in illustrator, size it up to comic board at 600dpi and colour it in ( cheaper than Bloop ;)
