Affect the mood of your drawing by using different colors of light reflections. When color rendering your artwork, it is easy to fall into the trap of rendering your subjects with only literal colors: Only red with an apple, water: blue or grass: green. Lights of all colors cast upon surfaces that we see and we can use different lights to a dramatic effect in our art.

Have you ever had any desire to be a comic book artist but decided against it? You might have had thoughts that it would be too hard and that you didn’t know enough about the art industry to make your own comic. If you are one of these people you are pretty far from the truth. In this tutorial I am going to show you how to make your own comic book page with just some normal everyday art supplies you can find at your local general store and turn it into a professional looking comic book page.
Here’s what to expect: In step one I will be demonstrating coloring in Photoshop, explaining the difference between CMYK and RGB. This will help you understand the basics of print. In step two, I will be going over the page layouts and some artistic designs for your own comic. In step three, I am going to demonstrate what you should be doing while drawing out your own comic and the steps to approach to make it the standard for scanning. In Step four, I will show you how to adjust your inked drawing to become a solid black picture ready for coloring. Step five will run over the coloring portion of the comic to turn your drawing into a real work of art. Steps six and seven will show you how to clean up the image, putting the final touches on it and formatting it to fit on a sheet of paper. I hope you enjoy this tutorial and leave with something that you will have fun with in the future.
