We have often been asked the process by which we create
our illustrated flyers and posters. I will try to give you a
clear tutorial on how we create our illustrations and turn
them into flyers or posters. Our end product will be this
flyer which was created for our recent
Go Media Inc. art
show:
Before I go into an insane amount of details I want to
give you a quick snap-shot of the process:
- Draw with Pencil on Paper
- Ink your penciled artwork
- Scan your artwork at 300 dpi
- Create a second copy of the artwork at 150 dpi
- Create a “color” layer just under the artwork (set your
artwork layer to “multiply”)
- Color your artwork
- Delete the artwork layer, and return the color layer to
300dpi
- Open the original 300dpi artwork and paste it above
the color layer
- Flatten the image and save it
- Import the image into your design software
- Add text and graphics
- Export the final design
The following sections will take through the above steps.
Hopefully by the end of this tutorial you have a good idea
of how to create your own comic book style.
