Tools of the Trade

     Well, I am ready to start the coloring of my image. But first I want to mentions the tools used up until this part.

 

     Coffee: I know is bad, but it sure keeps me awake. :D

     Copic PM Pad: Got to love this pad, is doesn’t bleed, the paper is really soft, and is thin enough to trace my pencils without the need for a light table.

     French Curves: I keep forgetting when the last time I even heard of them was, but have to admit that they are a nice tool when inking an image. As you can see I have some nice assortment of them.

     Multi-liners and Black Copic: They come in different sizes and by default the best pens to ink an image. I have one of them with a brush tip, but for large areas I like to use the 100 Copic, faster and easier.

     Copic Opaque White and small brush: I have to admit that my inking surely is bad (out of practice for several years), and made quite a few mistakes that are visible. So to cover most of those mistakes I used the opaque white and brush. I couldn’t get rid of all my mistakes, so I used my computer for the final clean-up. (Cheating I know)

     Right now, the image has been scanned, corrected and printed. My following step will be to decide the colors to use (maybe making a test image in the process), and then proceed to mask it so I can use my Air Brush System. :D
