Description
lot of people ask me how I do my pics. So, here's a little strip with the main steps..- pencil draft on paper (you can see the huge difference with my finished pencil work like this one : [link] )
- inking, still on paper. (Yes, I'm old scholl, and also lazy, because I ink on the same paper)
- scan & vectorization (to give lines a more polished look)
- coloring
- adding shadows (to answer this reccurent question : no, there's no magical automatic shading, you have to do it manually, like painting. Only 3D softwares are able to manage shadows automatically)
- Adding background etc, final pic.
Hope you enjoy this "behind the scene" picture.
(you can download the pic in order to see details..)

And how long does it take for you to create a picture like this?

Very enlightening. Similar to my own process, except I scan from pencil usually, without the hand inking. Please, what program do you use to vectorize? That would be the magic solution to save me countless hours! I don't have a copy of Illustrator or Flash... I found something that emulates a vector-like effect in Photoshop, but would like more options!
