Harley Quinn #1 Variant Cover Step by Step Part 3 Color

How we made the new Harley Quinn #1 cover.

From DC Comics and Midtown Comics!

And now for the COLOR STAGE

FLATS

The first stage of color is called flats - flatting allows me to choose an area to color at any point throughout the coloring process.

Flats were done by Gilly Renk.

Detail

Initial Rough In

I colored this on my Cintiq 22 HD using Photoshop CS3 .

Detail

I did a lot of coloring at this stage - adding the  lights and darks on all areas of the art.

Adjusting the sky to a more DC Animated look I liked on my original Harley Run.

Used the Pencil tool at this point.

Intermediate Stage

Cleaned and smooth flesh using the Brush tool at low % and and then Lassoing and using the Gradient.

Photoshop Set Up

and 

Hair Reference

Coloring Harley's Hair 

I copied the hair I wanted to color and then used Hue/Saturation to change the blonde to pink and blue and merged layer down.

Coloring Line Art

At this point I like to color the line art... 

Line Art Detail

I begin coloring the Hair and Flesh Line Art

Then convert areas being hit by highlights.

Harley's hair properly colored... variations in the pink and blonde "lines"...

Final

Punched up/brightened Harley's red and WHITENED her skin a bit for the final.

More Detailed

Line Art on Costume and Background element is colored.

Super Detail!

And that's it!

Step by Step Part 1

PENCILS

Drawn in Light Blue and HB lead on 12" x 18" Bristol Board .

I knew exactly what this cover would look like - just a matter of figuring out Harley's face...

Detail

Another shot...

The Harley figure was the easy part, still not happy with the Harley face...

Detail

Getting closer

There were elements of the figure in my initial Harley cover that just weren't right so it was fun to "correct" them for this cover :-)

Detail

Detailing Harley

Now, there she is!
