Thought some of you might be interested to see my approach on a full illustration. I do almost all my work this way, even classic graphic design.

This is amazing, it really helps to see your process. Quick question though, when you begin adding color is it for the most part on one layer or is it a bunch of layers?

bunch of layers and usually quite a bit of experimentation. I usually start with a layer set to either color or overlay and end up having up to 15 different layers. Also I do background and foreground colors individually

Hello, I have a question. How do you apply the color? I mean, do you create a new overlay layer above the black and white painting? Thank you for the tutorial, I find it very usefull :D

Yes, I use a collection of Overlay, multiply, Color and Hue layers to get the initial colors going (often I mix adjustment layers inbetween and use gradients to quickly adjust the overall lighting). The setup changes every time though. It is different with each painting so it is best to just experiment with the settings. :)

First I need to create more illustrations of this quality. I usually don´t get hired to do those (lately its been a lot motion design and graphic design stuff and it doesn´t look like that will change anytime soon) and my free time is pretty much nonexistant. :/ But when I find time I will post another process shot for sure. :)
