K. Michael Russell, a published colorist for companies such as DC Comics, Image Comics, IDW, Top Cow, and Oni Press, offers a comprehensive course on digital comic book coloring. With over six hours of real-time, easy-to-follow video lessons, students will learn the basics of setting up their workspace, installing presets for brushes and tool settings, setting up line art and layers, color theory, storytelling, rendering styles, brush modes, creating special effects, multiple light sources, adjustment layers, textures, prepping pages for printing, building a portfolio, and more. This course is the result of everything Russell has learned the hard way and is designed to teach students new skills or expand on their knowledge of sequential comic book coloring.
