Persephone in Bloom

   I thought it would be fun to post a photo of my computer screen with a work in progress. Here is Persephone being colored in Photoshop. As you can see, my workspace is quite simple, and my screen a bit dusty… Attached, you can see the image as a direct save. I think she’ll turn out quite nicely, even if there is a colossal amount of work to be done… Allez, courage (that’s French for “Be brave”)!

   @The Tree House Press ooh I love this question! Top to bottom: color palette, line, pattern light colors, pattern dark colors, under pattern, clothing base, skin & hair, ref image for pearl shading, and background. I pretty much use the same breakdown for most illustrations as I find it easy to correct things this way. Do you use lots of layers too?

    Well at the moment I'm kinda trying a new method. Before I simply had one layer per color, so often I'd have 4 colors, so 4 layers and each layer set to multiply so that I get new colors from overlaying. Now I'm not doing that as it got very boring and restricting.
