Week 14b

    Today in class I worked on coloring in the first two pages of my comic. When I was setting them up in Photoshop I left the black levels down a little lower so as not to make my pencil lines look solid black. I wanted the pencil to still look like pencil. This was important to me because I think the pencil creates a very expressive line that add excitement to the comic. Where as a solid black line does not express as much feeling. Also I enjoy the rough feeling created by the pencil lines because it isn't perfect and this lets the reader connect with it more. It breaks the illusion a little bit. For my colors I have a tannish yellow, an orangish red, and a teal. I picked colors that are all nearish to primary colors so that they contrast strongly and clearly separate the elements on the page. I think after I'm done coloring all of the pages in I might go pack and bump down the opacity on the colors a tiny bit to make them a little less intense.
