Just wanted to share a few things i do when preparing a scanned piece for digital color.
This is a particular piece i was working on. Its supposed to be a parody of those school girls in anime with the big Doey eyes and super deformed proportions.
Turn up
the cheese-o-meter by making her goth and "ta-daa" insta fan service to half the internet.
After u have scanned and cleaned my artwork i start by adjusting the levels of white and black in photoshop
and clean up any stray lines and un-sightly blemishes. I keep the image in gray scale so that i can gauge the range of shading better. Its just something that works better for me, but you will most certainly find artist that do it in a different manner.
I do everything in grey tones...clothes, skin, everything i can. After i get into a comfortable spot and see where the image is headed then i will change adjust the image mode to RGB. After that its time to color with the full spectrum. I use RGB since most of my work is digital and i am not going to print it.
Well thats all for now, please keep posted for the conclusion of my Boa Hancock Drawing.
