Comic-Style Colouring Tutorial
Posted on June 10, 2011 at 4:45am 0 Comments 0 Likes
Hi,
I've been asked once or twice now what my colouring technique is for my comic art, so I decided to post a tutorial that I initially just did for my friend earlier this year, but maybe some of you will find a few gold nuggets in there, or be inspired to share some of your gold nuggets of colouring technique with the rest of us.
You can view the tute in my photo folders on my page if you're interested.
Share the wealth,…

I've been doing the inks and colouring for a comic book project which I think has a huge amount of potential to be a hit. it's called DISCIPLE 6, and it's the brainchild of Matthew Rodriguez. You can find out more about it here: http://ideasfrommars.blogspot.com
I've posted two pictures on my page that I've collaborated on; pencilled by Andy Budnick, inked and coloured by me. Check them out in the Disciple 6 folder on my page.

Matt Baker posted a discussionBUY AT THE SHOP VS BUY ONLINE
Hey Jesus freaks,I recently discovered Comixology, and have bought a few online comics from their site. I've been pleased with the experience of reading a comic on my computer, but even more pleased with the price. If I buy a comic at the comic store, then by the time shipping and retail has been added it costs me just over $8 to buy a comic here in Australia. If I buy the same comic online it costs me $4, often even $2! Half or a quarter of the price of a physical comic from the shop.I'm…See More

The 'Spirituality in Comics' Panel from San Diego Comic-Con 2011
In comics, movies, and even Broadway musicals like “The Book Of Mormon”, spiritual themed work seems to be unexpectedly coming from the least religious of sources.
Panelists including SERGIO CARIELLO (The Action Bible), RUSSELL DALTON (Marvelous Myths: Marvel Superheroes and Everyday Faith), BUZZ DIXON (Serenity/Hits & Misses), and MIKE SHIELDS (Blue Blazes) discuss how a new generation of comics and pop culture are exploring timeless truths and also address the question “Is Mass Media Our New Church?”

Thanks, Matt! That David pic is a great image - I was able to check out your other work as well (we're looking at ZooWhiz with my 7-year old, she loves working to add animals to her zoo!)
Things are going well! Thanks for asking. It's contract-to-contract at this moment. Most of my work has been for children's book illustration and graphics/animations for interactive games/books. Right now I'm working on illustrations for more books in a chapter book series that debuted in January (Zeke Meeks).
I've also been exploring work for children's ministry - I have a couple concepts I'm hoping to produce.
We'll see what happens!
What's in the works for you?

I'm 23 now, living with my fiance, the both of us are going to university. My Mum is medicated well now and you wouldn't even know she had a problem, she married an awesome guy that I get along with well and who looks after her. Mum, even while sick, was always deeply spiritual. She was always reading the bible and debating me on topics of religion. I still enjoy debating with her, but she's mostly deaf so it's hard over the phone and she lives quite a long way away. Apart from her, my brother is also Christian, but he's not the talk-about-it type.
Sorry, didn't mean to type so much, haha..
I'm hoping it's a good conversation starter.. Apart from my Mum and brother (who I don't live near) I don't know any other Christians.. I have so much to say about God and nobody to say it to, hopefully this will change things.
Hey Matt, check my page for the pictures of the tattoo. It's a work in progress, only lines so far. Very little changes have been made to your images. Let me know what you think :D
Yeah, going to be a full sleeve on my right arm. I'm getting the pages with the crucifixion and at the bottom on the back of my right hand I'm getting the picture of Jesus with his hand outstretched with the halo design behind.
I'm going to get the tattooist to stencil it on, I want it to be exactly the same.. It's funny, I've always wanted a comic book version of Jesus' story tattooed on me, but never found the right look. Strangely enough I stumbled on your comic in the most unlikely place, it was in the chemical shed at a factory that I used to work, I saw it and knew straight away that's what I wanted. I took it as a sign that God did want me to do it after all. The Lord works in mysterious ways. I'll post pictures as it progresses.
