Here is the initial sketch of the same comic:
For the final version, I tried a new watercolour strategy this time: colouring in all the blue shadows first, then adding other colours for the areas in light. It helped make the whole thing less clashing and muddy compared to my usual approach. I like the businessman panel where the colours are minimal. Other panels may be a little overwhelming.
Woah, I always forget that art is an incremental refinement process, and love seeing the early concept sketched raw. The final piece is amazing btw
Always exciting to have a new comic artist tag. Thanks for sharing some of your process, i really enjoyed the premise and the great art!
