I thought it turned out pretty well and thought this would be a good opportunity to show a little process behind it! Drumroll please…..

1.The initial sketch is scanned and brought into photoshop, and re-sized to the output size. I also used the levels to make it darker. Text will go up above the town, so I left a lot of blank space up in that sky.

2. Color the trees using a couple shades of green

3. Color the buildings!

4. Add watercolor textures and color sky

5. At this point I decided that the buildings were a little too colorful, and wanted it to be a little simpler, so I kept the trees and sky and went with simple white buildings. And thus, the final product!

Hope that gives you all a little quick insight into my process for coloring and finishing hand-draw sketches…at least the digital side of it. Stay tuned for more tips and tricks I’ve used in my last couple projects!
