How to color a comic panel process tutorial step by step.

Here is one of my favorite panel from the last update. An old lady with lantern, this one came out the way I really want the whole chapter to turn out, but it's most likely impossible. I like how the lighting in this particular panel turns out personally.
As when I do comic or Manga (color) panel, it requires quick way to finish (unlike illustration), not to the point of perfection but readability so that we can move on to the next panel and make the story flow.

Anyway, in this particular one I sketch out an image on a paper (a page in my sketchbook), then I scan it in and the process is as simple as down below step by step. Enjoy!

Quick process from rough sketch to paint over color for storyboard, Manga, and comics. Most of the time I will start with gray scale or monotone to arrange your scene and composition, then I will paint in color rather than start off with color. I find it easier for me to focus first correct drawing and values then finally colors, just one step at the time. Also having correct values in your work will help you achieve color harmony.

Manga Tutorial how to draw comics background.

Here is another quick tutorial on how to draw, render, and color background for your Manga or comic. It's a really quick process. I find it a lot easier if you start from black and white (gray scale) to arrange your scene and composition, then apply color rather than go with the color right away. Also the mono to color approach will make you achieve color harmony within your art piece easier.

This scene is a scene of a character looking at the town from far away with the wood surrounding as mid-ground.
