This is just a digital test of some new techniques that I am trying to learn from tutorials by Tracy J.B., creator of "Lackadaisy" --> tracyjb.deviantart.com/

In a nutshell: I'm basically taking a shaded traditional sketch and just enhancing the shading and giving it a colored tint in Photoshop. Recently, I have been debating jumping back into comic work again, featuring this Trolly here, and am still trying out mediums and techniques for how to go about it... especially since my last flopped so bad.

If I were to try to use this method, there would be a lot of things I would change to 'make it my own'. I.E., I would not use a sepia like color tint like this for mine. It would probably be done in complete greyscale, maybe only use a hint of color once in a rare while to emphasize something. Kind of like "Sin City?" Or maybe more like in "Pleasantville". I'll do some test pages soon to see how the mood and all fits.
