The
sketching.
Done in just a few minutes the
purpose
of the sketch is to visualise an idea. If it does not ‘work’
immediately, there is no point in continuing - it is binned.
The editor approves or rejects this initial rough sketch.
|
|
The drawing.
This much more detailed, precise
drawing,
based on the initial sketch, is done in pencil.
It is often the longest stage.

The inking.
The finished pencil drawing is
put on a
light-table and traced onto another piece of
paper using Indian ink, applied with a brush.
|
|
The colouring.
The ink drawing is then scanned
and coloured on the
computer using Photoshop©, the same method being
used for dialogue and titles.
When finished, the drawing
is sent by e-mail to the
editorial staff for publishing. |
