Description Lines: KidNotorious [link]
Finished Colouring: Me [link]

From top to bottom and left to right:
1. Original lines
2. Tweaked lines (I tend to change people's lines to suit my colouring style more, deleting solid inked areas for instance)
3. Single colour flats (I do this in shots with multiple figures so I know who's who)
4. Colour flats
5. Mono flats
6. Mono cell shading (just the highlights this time to get the lighting right)
7. Soft shading
8. Final including colour wash and texture overlay.

Hi there,are you the owner/ original artist of these Addams family drawings? or do you know who is? If so, would I be able to use one for a poster of our production coming up later this year?

Hi, as you'll see in the comments above, the lineart is by another artist. I just coloured it.

I can't give you permission to use someone else's work I'm afraid. Feel free to ask the line artist.

Thanks man. I hope you don't mind me butchering your lines before I colour them. I know some artists ca get a bit funny about that sort of thing. Unerstandably so of course

Actually... That second frame is how I pretty much originally drew the picture before posting it here on DA.

Cool. So you only black out areas in the inking phase. That makes sense.

Love it - Love it - Love it!

You know I'm not usually 'into' your softer shading, but I think this image has me sold.

I love:
The tall shadow. The texture overlay. The light in Fester's mouth. The Cigar smoke. The pin-stripes...of lord I love those pin-stripes!

But (there's always a 'but' part of me would still love to see a hard-shaded version of this, albeit retaining the texture. Probably somewhere between 6 and 8.
