PART 2 

COLOR

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.

INITIAL ROUGH IN 

I rough in the colors on the figure and in this case start designing the colors for the bike. I also start designing the background of the 

cover and setting the type.

DESIGN

I’m not thrilled with how this is reading, not enough “POP”, so I set the figure off against and a WHITE background and VOILA! 

I also move the titles around and begin doing some tweaks to the bike itself.

The first thing I did is to change the cirlcle to orange to POP the rider a bit more. Next, I strengthened the bike colors. 

REAL COLORING!

Then I start working away from the middle values by adding darks then lights to the figure and the bike.

CIRCLES 

To accentuate the fun feel, I add the circles which I incorporate onto the back cover and interior. 

COLORING THE LINE ART 

The final touch is converting the black line art into colors lines - note the face especially!
