Saptan Stories – Week 3 WIP Process

Thought I’d show the step by step working process for last weeks illustration for #SaptanStories:

I usually start with small thumbnails or a rough sketch.

Hands usually need a reference and I used my own here.

Once I’m happy with the sketch, it gets inked up and then at last on to the colouring. (The fun part)

I used felt pens for this project as they are fast, I can use them on the go (my lunch break) and they also restricted the colour palette. (I’m very indecisive!)

The dark colours I laid over the light and blended the edges with a lighter colour or a blender as these felt pens are great for that.

And there we are! No photoshop just scan, crop and upload.
