I'm illustrating Anne of Green Gables for Eli Readers. Here's a small preview of the characters. Working in a slightly different way, keeping my pencil drawing instead of discarding the layer in the end. I was hoping to use a heavy pencil rendering too, but the tight schedule doesn't allow me to do so. Hopefully next time.
thanks guys... nice to know it's working, even if different!
@Erica Sirotich yes, exactly! Plus, I find something gets lost from pencil drawing to colour. I have the bad habit of doing very detailed roughs and sometimes I like them better than the final colour. Give it a try! It's also a bit faster
Thank you all! I should start working on full scenese this week, I hope they'll work out well. It's a different approach and I hope it'll get me somewhere or open new possibilities...

Beautiful. I'd like to try working this way too. Get tired of all those bold lines sometimes.
