1.
First, I draw the first sketch and the layout of the plates on a
paper. I work on it a few times to get an accurate drawing.
I
scan the plate and take each small illustration one by one to get
them as if they were actual paintings.
During
this process I go back to the global vision of the plate and I try to
keep the dynamics of the lines, forms and colors.
2.
Construction on computer with Krita.
With
Krita, I work on the perspective and I polish up the details.
3.
Focusing on rag paper.
I
print the picture I got with Krita and I trace it on rag paper.
4.
Basic watercolors shadows.
Now,
I can start the coloring. I put the shadows first by using
blue-shaded mauve. I am now precise enough to see where I want to go.
I put three layers of shadows.
5.
Colors.
I
color and I make sure to keep a good balance.
6.
Redrawing the line above the color.
I
put the tip of the pen over by using Krita’s settings (here’s the
link
http://www.davidrevoy.com/article239/cleaning-blue-lines-sketch-in-krita).
If necessary, I work with contrast and light filters.
7.
Special effects with Krita .
I put
in Krita the light and the shadows of the candles with a digital
brush.
And that's it!
