Hi Steemians, do you want to see how watercolor is used for the creation of a comic panel? This is how it's done at Haedre's berlin Headquarters.
So, first thing you should know is that I use 300g. Arches paper. I put it in water for around 3 minutes, then I stick it on a light board of wood with kraft paper. Once it's dry, it's properly tensed so all the water that I'll use wont make the paper warping nor having hollows.
So, it's ready for the penciling.
Then I ink it and erase the pencil.
Now the background.
Inking the background.
And now I can start the coloring!
Et voilà!
And here's the definitive image after slight treatments and with the thought bubbles (Ok, this I do on photoshop with my own typo because my handwritting is actually horrible :D )
So I hope you found this interesting! Personnally I can't stop using paper and such "old" techniques, it's been pretty often that I've been told to use digital but then when will I be out of the computer? Let's add that I can also exhibit these pieces which is something that became rather rare in the comic industry.
