page 18-1 Henry looking in refrigerator: Here’s the colored version of the scene. I tried to nail down the 3 or 4 photoshop brushes I’d use beforehand so I could keep the same style across the whole thing. I want the sketches and the coloring to both be loose. If I had to do this over again I’d not do as much because the time constraint will prohibit many pages from being done. I also think it could be even looser and the fill-the-page with color approach I used kills some of the openness on other pages. I’m also considering finishing the coloring and then desaturating all the pages via Photoshop automation, I think it’s a little too bright.
