Description Here's a little break down of how I work digitally from start to finish. 

1.Start with a rough sketch, establishing your figure and adding little indications where things are going to go. Remember that your sketch doesn't have to be perfect, you just need to layout the initial idea. 

2.Clean up. This is where you are going to draw your final lines, you need to be confident in your lines when doing the final line art. The nice part of this being a digital piece, is that if I mess up with a line I can hit the "Undo Button" and redraw the line. Drawing clean lines takes a lotta practice. Be patient, you'll get it with time. 

3.The last and final step is to apply the colors. This process would take way to long to explain.

I've been getting asked if I could do a tutorial on this for some time now, and I really want to do one when I get the time. 

I do all my colors in Photoshop for anyone who is wondering. I color in layers with the file Mode set to RGB. 

I'm constantly experimenting with my coloring styles, so the process that I used here is a little more complicated to explain than my others. Again, I will try and do up a nice video tutorial someday.

Have you started on Terra if so how can I get a copy and if not how long has the process of starting taking you and how long is your time limit for it. Just curious because I'm working on my project similar to yours and I made a 5 year time table 200 pgs pencils  inking and coloring myself. You think thats good.

Your coloring style on Terra looks like it has significantly improved, there's a lot more dimension to her with the shadowing and highlights. Very nice work!
