Description
Part 1 of 4 [next | Finished Piece ]You need a good strong paper to color the way I do, but I do sometimes work on printer paper for quick pieces and pieces I don't think highly of. But printer paper fiber can break and leave white spots, and it will always get wavy from the pressure. If you use printer paper, make sure it's "acid free" or it will get yellow and brittle with age. Incidentally, the same is true of tape.

The tutorial is a nice idea.
Hehe, I'm lucky that I have a light table. XD

OK, I can say I learned smething new. That idea of getting a clean outline from a pencil sketch is something I dindΒ΄t think of even though I do have a light table. Anyway, isnΒ΄t it possible for you to just draw over the pencilwork with your colour pencils? They seem intense enough.

It certainly is possible to work directly ontop of pencil, and that's part of style choice. It's really good for a rougher earthier look, but it can also create a few challenges to coloring as the lines add their color. Gray pencil lines can be harmful to softer warm tones (like yellow), and I definitely can't hide blue pencil lines. I also sometimes get a weird halo around pencil lines, and ghosts of lines I've erased.
But again, it's a style choice. There are times I've inked and erased everything but the part I'm coloring.

Yeah, I can see your point there.
