Flash is not my friend today...


... So while I wait for it to sort itself out/crash I'll say abit about how I've been colouring the characters and scenery.


I wanted lots of pattern and detail, and I happen to have a big bag of bits of nce paper I've collected over the years which get used in the collages i do (kathrynrosamillerart.co.uk).


So, I scan a selection in and do some preliminary work in a graphics program. I decide which patterns would go where on the characters' clothes, and usually play around with the colour balance and saturation and stuff. When I've got a rough representation I import the lines and colour seperately into Flash and start neatening everything up, adding shading etc.
