Today I thought I would walk you through how I make a page of Adamsville.\u00a0 Don’t want to give away much of the context of this page, gotta keep my spoilers low, but here we go!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First things first, I go through my script and do a pretty standard thumbnail of the page I will be doing.\u00a0 Then I do a very loose pencil rough of that page, which is above.\u00a0 I draw these roughs on\u00a0a sheet of 8.5×11 paper\u00a0 that has a template on it for each page.\u00a0 Which you can find\u00a0HERE<\/a>. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After I am done with the rough I scan that in and resize it to fit the final page size within the program, Manga Studio EX<\/a>.\u00a0 I then go to town, inking the mess out of that page!\u00a0 I started inking all digitally about six months ago when\u00a0I got frustrated with the flexibility of the\u00a0analog\u00a0brushes and tools I was working with.\u00a0 I highly recommend this program.\u00a0 This page was a challenge because of the space the characters are in.\u00a0 Lots of perspective lines and all.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After that I do a process called color flatting, in Photoshop.\u00a0 It’s a fairly analog process, but it sets the page up to be colored more easily.\u00a0 If you are interested in learning this process more, you can see a great tutorial from Kazu Kibuishi on his blog, right HERE
\n<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lastly I color the piece in Photoshop.\u00a0 I use a number of custom brush settings I have aquired over the years or learning how to do this better.\u00a0 BUt I aim to add mood, atmospheric lighting and texture to help the space feel as real as a make believe place in a comic can be!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hope you’ve enjoyed this walkthrough.\u00a0 Right now I am right on track to be finished with this book by August.\u00a0 So close I can taste it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
