Color Breakdown

My computer was attacked and I have been working on retrieving lost information plus getting certain programs up and running again. I feel lucky that over 90% of my artwork was backed up and I was able to retrieve all of the rest with some effort.


Start with the pen & ink drawing



This is not the program I use to create my multiple level colors scheme but I lost my program and with out a back up disc I’m out of luck. (one of the two I can not fix)


But this should give an idea on how many layers I work on to create one colorful page

Bottom Layer


Layer One


Layer Two


Layer Three


Layer Four


Layer Five


Layer Six

Each layer sits one on top of the other bringing to life the pen & ink drawing adding some depth and texture to my artwork.
