Songes Tome 2 Page 29 Step by Step

Here's how I made Songes Tome 2 Page 29. 

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 29. 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 - into the Aladdin, 1001 Nights, etc - fun stuff to draw and create.

 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)! I actually had to draw the FULL BLEED in the  Top LEft on an additional piece of paper.

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.

Pretty layed a warm orange over the entire page and then added and subtracted to that to get that "harem" feel.
