A look into the Rose

cover, that is.

So usually i come up w/ 2 - 3 layout options. Done directly into PS, as it tends to go quicker.
They went with Option 1.

Once layout was decided upon, I then drew it up on the UDON comic paper provided by UDON.
Did a basic rawscan usually @ 150%/300DPI (no pre-colour levelling etc, jst basic scan) to get see if any edits etc would be needed.

Once it was approved I then coloured it up in Photoshop7 using an Intuos2.
This too needs to be approved before I upload it to the FTP.

and that's it.

I might go into it further, but the PSD colour reference file i uploaded pretty much cover how I go about it colour-wise.
