Technicolor-a-go-go:
ANOTHER 'BUMPED-UP-INTO-FULL-COLOR' ENTRY, with hopefully lush-n-lavish production values injected into this fairly recent black-and-white entry.
I've slowly but surely amassed a fair few techniques into the color spectrum, but there's still a fair few more adjustments and refinements---and even fundamentals-------for me to 'master' as yet.
The main new departure here is the introduction of colored outlines, which if used sparingly, give a less harsh, 'softer' look, more akin to a 40s animated cartoon, which is the sort of approach I am looking for.
The fact I can now convert black-ink-lines to any color means I can open up a new range of subjects, from polar-bears, ghosts, or jelly babies!
The use of digital color is the biggest advance I have aded to my cartoon 'arsenal' this year.
Much thanx to Rich Skipworth of CCGB for assisting me greatly with the 'color-lines conversion' technique.

Your best colour one to date...as you say the coloured line works very well..softens it up..
ReplyDeleteVery nice Rab..but in my opinion I think the bold black lines suit your work better...but I do agree that it is necessary to experiment,and it is what you like best that counts at the end of the day...keep up the good work...John
ReplyDeleteI will use coloured lines only now and again, John.....it will never take over from the hard black lines.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your interest!
Peter: I remember the coloured style you used in your cartoons---it was like animated cel type.
