Songes Tome 2 Page 3 Step by Step

Here's the making of Songes Tome 2 Page 3.
To ease any problems in the translation, I do storyboards for the writer, Denis-Pierre Filippi to approve before I draw the pages. This is the storyboard for Songes Tome 2 Page 3. The storyboards are done at 3 x 4 " on 8.5 x 11" paper with Blue and HB Pencil, Pitt Pens and Copic Markers.

Here's the lineart - drawn on 13 x 19" 2 ply Bristol Board with Blue and HB Lead and borders ruled with .80 tech pen. So I shoot from these the pencils so they are very tight (for me)!

The lineart is darkened and cleaned in Photoshop and turned into a Bitmap.

The colors were done by Rebecca Rendon and me in Photoshop. The art was colored in Channels - a method I learned from Alex Sinclair.

    1. BTW Mr. Dodson, I noticed that ABC channel will be releasing a TV show called "Red Widow" in the next week or two... that tag "Red" gets used a lot in the media; perhaps for your latest project, Veuve Rouge, you can try something with "Crimson" that will describe your femme fatal in a sexy / potent light. I haven't made any Google searches for a female Crimson-type hero, but I doubt that one exists. Just wanted to support and help out with the project, as a fan of your excellent work. Best of luck with it sir!

  4. Nice to see those pictures. I have ordered and read the 2 volumes box (in French) a few months ago and I really loved the whole package. Congrats for your work ! I hope there will be more books in that series :D
