I think your work is absolutely fantastic and this is no exception.

This one brought up a question however; how do you go from the original sketch to the fully coloured one?

I don't mean to ask how to colour a work but mearly what is your process for getting it onto the computer? Do you colour first of after? If so, what problems do you have to overcome?

Nope. As I metionned to FFM, I'm very cheap: A pizza and a harem is all I ask for
So send me your screenshots but I've got a list of requests longer than MaXimillion's ego.

I hope I understand your question correctly Mr.Marvellous. I'll try and answer it the best I can.
First, I sketch the original pieces at work (!), using a ballpen, in a notepad. The notepad is already a bad move since I'll have to find a way to get rid of them horizontal lines.
When I'm happy with the sketch, I scan it at home, using your basic scanner. The picture is scanned at no smaller than 300dpi so I can still zoom in without everything becoming too pixelated.

Next step is to mess around in photoshop with levels and contrast options so the lineart becomes much "harder" and all the small lighter lines (like the notepad ones) blend out.

Then the colouring process starts. Here is a step by step colouring i made. It's in French. But check the last image. It's a screenshot of the layers used in photoshop.

For the Ragnarokk pic, due to the nature of the sketch and its thicker lines, I tried something new: not to use the original black lines from the scanned sketch that would normally end up on top of the layer window in photoshop, in multiply mode.
Here I redrew the outlines straight on top of the colouring (you can see it as the white outline of the fist or the brown outline of the jaw), and that proved quite tense...
Am quite happy with the result here because the pic looks "fuller" and less comic-y since the black outline is gone.

That's all I can think of.
Let me know if that wasn't the answer you were looking for =p

No, that was perfect, just what I was looking for. I am only on page 17 of 'How to Draw Anything' and so far have only looked at landscapes but I use photoshop alot for web stuff (nothing like drawing but I think it's helped me alot) and wondered how to start using it for illistration.

That guide really helped. even in French which I can't read one bit of
