It took me this long to realize you're a genius, too. :) I feel like such an infant when I try to manhandle Photoshop. :) Wow!

After doing this awhile (with the previous incarnation of Terence N. Tijuana), I came to my own conclusions about what works and what doesn't, and then went my own way.

I love your low-saturation colour schemes, they look professional and whimsical at the same time. I'm willing to bet that if you went full-colour, the results will be amazing!

Well this panel isn't as complex as some of the others, and I'm fairly comfortable with the characters' designs by now (loads of practice, including sketches which don't make it to the comic). Five hours is a bit on the long side, but only because I had to ink and colour 7 characters together. Most panels of this size take less than 4 hours, but larger panels can take up to ten hours. It also helps to familiarize yourself with your tools, which in my case are Photoshop, Flash and my trusty old mechanical pencil. ;) Hey Nangbaby, thanks for dropping by.

What I'd like to know is how you're able to do all of that so fast! I’m actually amazed at how all of this only takes 5 hours. What I’d like to know is how you’re able to do all of that so fast!

But, as you can tell from my comic, it's little more than "pencil the sketch, ink over the sketch, erase pencil lines. Scan and post." Oh yea, and I avoid coloring, because I'm horrible at creating color schemes. Good work! This is awesome! I wish all comic artists would make a step-by-step. Very interesting. I may do one of my own!

Peeling back the layers of work that go into how you color, I think, is a great way of seeing how someone tackles the soul of their work! Thanks for doing this, I've been really curious about how people tackle this process!
