In Loving Technicolor

FINALLY!  Here's the first 'proper' result after a week or three of off/on experimentation on different works regarding appllying Digital Color onto my cartoons........as can be seen, I have worked out how to 'drop in' gradiated tone into the background, etc, which is basically what I was after.


There are still a few elements to sort out obviously, but I'm on the right track, and I will definately be keen to apply color to a lot of my future drawings, as well as onto a fair few of the actual strips, which won't do me any harm. It took me a long time to get around to this, but I'm fairly pleased with the basic direction, especially since I'm using an absolutely FREE coloring program: it is probably more convoluted to navigate than Corel Painter or Photoshop, but it's the end result that counts, and it's clear that my cartoons can be radically altered using digi-color.

Yes, this example here is a bit rough around the edges in the background especially, but overall it's what I desired...still loads of other applications to discover and 'master' within the color realm, which I hope to acquire.

Absolutely ace how the original inking is untouched by human hands in the coloring process:  when I used to airbrush painted cartoons, you only had one real chance to do it properly, with no going back...there was also loads of cut-out masking etc to do. I'll maybe add these airbrushed earlier works on here sometime.

Looks like color is finally entering into the way-out world of BABY BOOMER, which should add some welcome depth to the cartoon cavortings.
