How to color a comic panel process tutorial step by step.
Here is one of my favorite panel from the last update. An old lady with lantern, this one came out the way I really want the whole chapter to turn out, but it's most likely impossible. I like how the lighting in this particular panel turns out personally.
As when I do comic or Manga (color) panel, it requires quick way to finish (unlike illustration), not to the point of perfection but readability so that we can move on to the next panel and make the story flow.
Anyway, in this particular one I sketch out an image on a paper (a page in my sketchbook), then I scan it in and the process is as simple as down below step by step. Enjoy!

Really though it's a cool paint job, it reminds me of watercolour paints. I particularly like 4 and 6 - it's like a before and after she lit the lantern.
Just found some more time to look at that hammer girl tutorial vid (it gets me in the mood for digital drawing). It's nice of you to include the long time spent on tweaking that character, as it shows that good designs tend to not just pop out of the air!

It reminded me of how Xia does his work!
Chris> Thanks brother! Ah! Matt Dixon. I love Matt's stuff, it's so expressive and fun! (and the thick painterly feels) We used to go head to head (also with Doug) wayyyy back then when the Creature Of the Week just started. I only won twice, he won like three times and Doug three times I think. Great fun time! He does a lots of book illo nowadays I think.
