http://www.tfaw.com/Comics/Profile/Scarlet-Veronica-1-(of-4)___329154I wanted to show you guys a little bit of our process. So I thought I'd show you the "pencils to polished" procedure of a page of Scarlet Veronica. This is the Cover for issue 2
So I start with sketching out the image on Blue Line Pro art board. I scan it in 2 pieces and then put them back together in photoshop. Then I import the image into a program called Manga Studio Ex.
Manga Studio rocks. It's a great digital inking tool. I reduce the opacity of the imported sketch. and I make a new layer and start inking! ^.^
Zombie Santa's first.
I do each part of the image on separate layers. I have Santa turned out for now- and Veronica and the Tree are all on different layers. This makes it easier to apply any kind of effect on the individual characters in Photoshop- or if I wanna move elements around- what have you.
OK- so, I decided that I really wasn't liking the image of Veronica. So I sketched out a new one, scanned it, and imported it.
Then I copy that final inked image and paste it into the Issue 2 Cover file.
After I'm done inking, I export the image as a PSD and open it in Photoshop. I start laying down the color flats. wooo.
then, after I finish flatting the pic, I send it off to Justin Greathouse
