I appreciate the video but this really wasnt a "how to", more of a "look what I can do" video. I was able to follow along thanks to KMR's how to flat videos. None the less you had some good stuff here. Thanks

Love your work dude! Quick question? How do you get free comic book panels to practice flats on? Thanks

Sometimes artists will post their own work that is high enough resolution to color, so you can hunt DeviantArt and Social media for that. Also, you can politely ask your favorite artists for line art. Sometimes they'll be willing to send you some. Also, as a plug, people who are enrolled to my Learn 2 Color Bundle get access to an entire library of line art as a bonus: www.learn2color.com/bundles/essential

Hi. Your video is very helpful! You mentioned that you work in Adobe RGB and then it is converted to CMYK. Please explain why do you do that? I'm under the impression I should work in CMYK SWOP 2 for print. Thanks!

Only the final print file needs to be in CMYK, but you don’t have to work in CMYK. I switched to working in RGB because I found my colors and glows came out richer. It also gives you better control over ink density. Ultimately though, it comes down to a personal preference.

At 3:03 how did you bring your lines back after filling in the individual boxes to the reddish color? I think you are hitting a hotkey and I do not know which one it is.

I'm not sure if I mention it in this video, but I use a custom Action that I have programmed to an F key. without an action you just go to the Channels palette and turn on the eyeball of your line art channel. It only saves me seconds of time, but when I have to repeatedly turn on my line art channel having an action makes a difference. If you would like to create your own actions, I have a short video on the bare bones basics here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lp5rpcyLftbFY8o.html When you create an action to turn on your line art start a new action, assign it an function key (F key), hit "record", then in the channel palette click the eyeball on the line art channel so that its on, then hit the stop button in the Actions palette. Your new action should only have one step to it (Show channel "channel name"). You'll want to be certain you name your line art channel the exact same thing every time in order for this action to work. I always name mine "LineArt". I hope that helps.

How do you come up with a flat/base color? is it the local color slightly desaturated.

Depends on what you’re going for with the final look of your page. The most consistent aspect of my base colors is that they’re darker, and then I add highlights later. Though, I’ve seen other colorists start out light and add shadows.

I think you misspoke at 2:04. Make sure contiguous is turned ON. Thought I was going nuts for a minute.

Good catch. That’s been up awhile now and you’re the first to say anything. Contiguous selects similar pixels that are touching. If it’s off it’ll select all similar pixels throughout the piece.
