2- sketch and release
Although I like my pencil sketches, I've developed a bad habit of tracing them over with a micron 03 ink pen and then scanning these through CorelTrace as bw 400dpi images. I then copy the traced image into Corel draw. This gives me control to enlarge, move, crop and otherwise manipulate the various elements of the image. I can also plunk in colours and see what works. Also, when I'm finished the whole book in this rough stage, I can more readily go back and rework the colours to flow better. Then they are basicall ready for me to dump them into PhotoPaint and do my majic (in this project I did not follow through with the final step as it is meant to have a flat feel).
