Artist's Comments

after finalizing the cover and scanning and prepping for upload. i sometimes sit back and compare my final with the sketch.

this is where i complain to myself how the final will never have as much energy as the initial sketch.

this time, i realized i forgot to paint in the heart. wtf man? that's the main part of it...

so after explaining to my editor im not an idiot, i go back and paint it in.

done.

amazing <3
what program did you use?...and is there any way I could download it for free somewhere?

I have a photoshop-esque program called Gimp2, and it works pretty well.

...but in your first dawing to the left, i've always wondered if there was some setting on photoshop that you could color over black lines, but not dilute the black line.

wow really great job!!!!!!!!!

In photoshop copy your lineart to a new layer and then set that new lineart layer to multiply. Delete the lineart that's on the backgound. Now when you paint on the background layer, the black lines should show thru =)

Should look like this

Layer 1 - lineart set in multiply mode
Background layer - color

You can use as many layers as you want. hope that helps =)

actually it's the way you set up your layers, you have to set the lineart layer to multiply and then you paint under it, what you do when you set your lineart layer to multiply is that you transform this layer into some kind of transparent layer but you still see the lines.
the way you do this is you go to the layers palette and you click on top of the lineart layer then above you'll see a bar you click on the arrow and you choose multiply function then you create a blank layer beneath it and start your coloring.
you can also create different layers to label your colors. like a separate layer for skin and so on..
hope it helps!

always cool to see this kind of thing, especially from you man. I kind of like Bruce's expression better in the sketch- something about how he's kind of sticking out his lips more in the final
