Download for full view. The final painting is here: [link] .

This is my current painting process/technique. It shows just how off-model my initial sketches/studies can be compared to the final version and it also demonstrates how I apply color. Typically an image will call for more studies/revisions than this one needed (I ended up pretty much following the first thumbnail all the way through).

Since I'm sharing this with you guys let me ask 2 favors:

1) Please don't ask me in-depth questions relating to my coloring technique. I'm considering writing a short book/ashcan that I will distribute independently outlining my current coloring process. It's a combo of color-mode brushes in Photoshop, replace-color adjustments and overlays.

2) Let me know if you'd like to see more process shots of my paintings. I don't normally go for this sort of thing or tutorials but it's nice to receive feedback.

The grayscale to color technique is something I've been messing around with for a little over a year. Not all of my illustrations start out as grayscale underpaintings.

WOW!! very neat!!! thank you very much^^
just on question... are you just using new color layer to add the color, or are there any other tricks/methods to put the color to it?

No color layers - I use brushes set to color mode. It feels more like glazing / painting with a traditional underpainting to me and is arguably more precise. Thanks!
