M.P.A comicbook sequentials (critques most welcome)

[Nick Shepherd]

Cheers for the comments shark dude! 
The body over the creatures shoulder gets thrown behind some bushes in the first panel of page 3.  I might have to make that clearer when I am colouring it.

I liked the black and white pages much more than these coloured ones, although I think the black and white stuff would benefit from some heavier inking and some heavy black shading rather than just using gray tones.

With these colours you've lost all the detail of your inks. (unless this is a layer which will be applied to the inks in which case justignoreme'kay?)

[Nick Shepherd]

Yeah, there was alot of detail lost in colouring these pages and I did simplify the pages considerably by colouring them.  It was a learning experience though.  This is my first attempt at colouring sequentials in photoshop.  Next time I try this I will use heavy black shadows at the inking stage rather than the pantone markers and will organise the layers in photoshop so that they show through in the finished work. 
Thanks for the feedback Lee!

I really like your use of colour, especially the smoke/clouds on the second page
B&W' s cool too tho
Not much help i guess 

Top work, Carry on!

Cheers for the feedback!

Yeah dude - it looks like you've flatted the colours in there and just deleted the lines entirely! We miss your lines!

Ooh yeah, you've lost me with the coloring. I really enjoyed your line work - but also with Lee in that heavy inks for shading would look great (but then I like BLACK & white artwork).

This took about a minute to do in photoshop after downloading your pages from this board.

I copied the pencil pages and pasted as a new layer on top of the coloured pages, set that layer to Multiply and thus:



Ignore me if you were planning on doing this anyway.

Yeah, nice work Dan. Tob, the colouring is really tight so the pencils give it richness. All you'd need to do next is get aquainted with selection tools and edit out surplus pencil.

[Nick Shepherd]

Yeah, I was going to use this method but thought that my pencils weren't tight enough, I already had a midtone in there and I didn't have the heavy black shadows that make this colouring work.  So I used the more vector based style of colouring. 
I am going to use the nice flat spotted blacks for my next storyboard. 
Thanks for the feedback.  Its much appreciated!
