My second page is now shaded. I have tried to get the muscle features on my villain to stand out, so the reader can tell he's not just big but also toned and defined.

This is the first page with the shade layer added. I have tried not to do to much, just enough to make the forms a little more three dimensional.

The illustration now has its base layer of colour. I've tried to make It vibrant and bright, also stick to only a few colours and the varied tones that lie between them.

The ink has been added over the sketch. I have also included the sketch layer again but highlighted blue. It's just an example of how I ink over an image, a very common and helpful practice.

 

I have added the first layer of colour to all four of my pages. I think the comic is starting to have its own style and feel to eat.

The sketch for a competition called being human.The idea is to create and illustration that depicts the meaning 'being human' in anyway. I have gone with the idea of two sides to everything. good, bad, war, peace, rich, poor, death and life. Theres actually a lot more in the image, but I want people to look and figure it out. It has been sketched using pencil tool in Manga Studio. Feels a lot more natural than Photoshop.

The last page inked and ready for the next step.
